The New York cartoonist Roz Chast once published a cartoon with variations. One was: "Find a penny, let it be/Someone may need it more than me". Another was: "Find a penny, walk right past/You never know who had it last".

You mean "aloud", right?

Yeah, but I never caught the hang of MS Word.

I just ran SpellCheck (Corel WordPerfect's version thereof) on my LCV file. It caught three typos (such as "cbop" for "chop") but it needs to update its vocabulary. It's not too good with linguistics terms like "ergative" and "animacy", for starters. It trips ...

Stops are written as their voiced allophones after nasals

So in other words, you also have:

On IRC, it was made known to me by CBB people that there is a natlang called Rumantsch Grischun.

Well, Kankonian sounds like Konkani! That's never bothered me, though.

Today I learned this new Finnish word that I think would be a great name for a Finnish metal band . . .

The diagram is up with these languages! More would still be appreciated, of course. Hmm, my script doesn't have underdots, though it does have breve below to indicate velars. The red line pointing to Vrkhazian means that it doesn't fit that criteria. I believe you mean " those criteria", ...

You're welcome.

Edit: Oh, and this was my 1,100th post!

Congrats on your post milestone!

My parents and psychologist had had a three-person meeting several months before. After that meeting with Dr. Kirk, my father had told mne, "We'll always love you no matter what, James, no matter what ". When he said that, I had no idea what he meant. It wasn't until years after Dr Kirk t...

A good start!

I keep getting notifications saying that DV82LECM is quoting me in the Yǫlá Skásti thread, which they are not, and when I click on them, it goes back to a post that, indeed, did quote me, but was from a very long time ago. Do we know why this is happening? (Like, I get a notification that says &quo...

How so? Ho, boy. I've told the story twice on this board before, but both threads were pruned. So here's my story . . . Back in the nineties, I subscribed to a magazine that existed at the time called Simpsons Illustrated . SI had comic strips dealing with the Simpsons characters and such stuff. A ...

In fact, there is evidence that /jj/ was historically a valid form, but later merged with /j/: naday "sparse" and yesu "land" compound as nadayesu "desert," with a single /j/, rather than * nadayyesu . Oh, I love these sort of "playing God, but not quite playing a...

Here's an example, from Greco-Roman mythology: it's believed that the Latin "Jupiter" comes from "deus + pater": God-father.

I'm a cisboy, but I came out as bisexual when I was 13. It was sort of . . . unintentional.

Congrats on your new gender identity! I'll have to remember to refer to you as "she".

Well, I put up a song I wrote in the style of Bob Dylan a few minutes ago. It's NSFW due to frequent use of the SH-word.
