mitchellh Periodically I and can’t help but be amazed that Siri was announced in 2010, and almost a decade later its still effectively valueless in day to day life for anything more than setting an alarm or pausing/playing music.

remcoknooi Commentaar geven op essays van studenten: "Mijn inschatting is dat je een beetje hebt lopen zwemmen bij het analyseren van je data."
- lopen zwemmen = jammer maar helaas
- zitten zwemmen = toch wel verwijtbaar handelen
- liggen zwemmen = scheer je weg van deze opleiding

tschfflr 8yo at the beach: 1/2 of the stones are wet and 1/4 are not wet, how can this be?
Me: Tell me.
8yo: The other 1/4 is wet, too! "half" doesn't mean "*only* half".
Me: 😍 I've taught this in Intro Pragmatics! #buddingLinguist #love

GoodGermanWords German is a Lego set of words, pure logic, relentlessly rational.

#Eifer is "Enthusiasm"
#Süchtig is "Addicted"

And so, naturally,

ma_rodda You know what I hate most? Having to sit through a 5 minutes discussion of whether my dog is neutered and whether he misses 'woman dogs' while knowing exactly how that's going to end but also knowing that if I try to disengage I will escalate the situation beyond my control.
