@AuntyDonnaBoys I'm an Auslan interpreter in Perth. Let me come interpret your show tomorrow night so we can all see what Mark's Old Italian Man looks like in sign language.

@LinguistSophie @uwanews @kasturi61200 What a great unit. And a great article! There exists the same behaviours in signed languages. An Auslan signer will waggle their hand toward their conversation partner like tapping an imaginary table to signify they want a turn allowing the other to wrap up.

Me: "I can't believe Drifter is a weird Sonic fanboy." Everyone: "What?" Me: "He just said it's time to bang Knuckles." And that's why everybody unfriended me in Destiny 2.

@ScrubQuotesX I never thought this would happen. Am I a true member of the FGC now?

My favourite thing about Dinotopia is that they combined the words 'Dinosaur' and 'Utopia' to give the sense of 'Dinosaur Land'. But the 'dino' part comes from the Greek deinos meaning terrible and thus it literally means 'Terrible Place'

@UnseenJapanSite Silly. It's called code switching/mixing and is a hallmark trait of bilingualism.

There is not one single piece of television that is more relatable than Marge Simpson saying 'at times like this, I guess all you can do is laugh' and then staring silently

Confession time: I used to look down on people who ate pies with a knife and fork. Now I've started doing it and I just want to say I'm sorry. I was wrong all these years. It is clearly superior.

Use of pronouns is descriptive not prescriptive meaning linguisticslly it matters how they ARE used not how certain people think they SHOULD be used. So if people use pronouns to identify a certain way of course It's valid. Oh also it's none of your goddamn business.
