- Comment on xkcd 2682 for linguists 5 months ago:
It’s interesting to note that every person who knows a language defines its words just a tiny bit differently than everyone else, based on their personal experiences with the objects and concepts and actions the words refer to.
It is, therefore, arguable that there are at least eight billion different languages spoken on Earth. And at least twice that, when you take bilingual and multilingual speakers into account.
