The English language is a wonderful thing, and we know some rules without knowing we know them.

‘Have you ever heard that patter-pitter of tiny feet? Or the dong-ding of a bell? Or hop-hip music? That’s because, when you repeat a word with a different vowel, the order is always I A O. Bish bash bosh. So politicians may flip-flop, but they can never flop-flip. It’s tit-for-tat, never tat-for-tit. This is called ablaut reduplication, and if you do things any other way, they sound very, very odd indeed.’ From ‘The Elements of Eloquence’ by Mark Forsyth.

Do you use #Duolingo to learn #languages ?? If so, what language(s)?

Or, do you use something else? If so, what do you use?

Please BOOST. Thanks. 🙂

Hallo !Friendica Support,

wie ich gerade festgestellt habe, taucht mein Server in der Statistik auf Fediverse Observer als englischsprachig auf. Allerdings habe ich sowohl im Admin-Panel als auch in der local.config.php die Sprache auf Deutsch gestellt. Muss ich da sonst noch irgendwo etwas angeben? So wichtig ist es mir ja nicht, das es meist kein offener Server ist, aber eigenartig finde ich es schon.

#FediTips If you are in a #Mastodon-powered instance, there is a #Language selection feature available for new posts/updates.

It will help in filtering the streams/timelines based on our #languages setting.

and I notice a lot of whatever #language posts tagged as "english", which suggests a serious interface flaw in #mastodon and possibly also in the clients.

#Introduction

Hi there! My name is Jacob Chateau. My passions lead me to the interfaces of #physics, #math, #computer science, #psychology, #language, #cosmology, #nano #biology, and I guess everything else I can't squeeze into #glyphs and #type.

I will be posting more about my particular lines of research, but please do reach out! I have no friends anymore now that I am banned from Twitter. Hahaha.

Also, are there any chatterbots around here? I love bots more than people, generally.




Has Google Translate always had this feature? Just noticing it now. #Gender #Language
