  While it’s correct that ASL isn’t English and signs don’t come from English words, ASL (like many other sign languages) has a fingerspelling system, which is used for signing out names and words that don’t have signs

  I assume that’s what OP is referring to here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable placement a little weird, but the ergonomics are excellent.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The japanese simply don’t make that distinction and it’s not a problem for them

  Plenty of languages (including my Polish) don’t make a distinction between town and city, and they don’t have problems

  Yeah, there’s this stereotype that professional/qualified linguistics are like super prescriptive but in reality most either don’t give a shit or are interested in informal language

  idk why there are so many images of the flag of china photoshopped onto computer chips but I find the trend strangely funny

  I’ve also noticed it’s becoming more common to call desktop PCs laptops, interesting linguistic shift

  I guess it helps I live at a higher latitude where summer isn’t as hot (although it’s getting hotter every year)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨arriving⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Summer better because it’s not depressing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Worth checking⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if people who actually have 6 fingers per hand (polydactyly) have any problems with it, like do people say their pictures are AI generated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3140: Biology Department⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Polish also does that, but it doesn’t show up for the word “day” because the nominative plural and genitive plural forms are the same

  I’ll use the word “godzina” (hour) instead

  1 godzina 2 godziny 3 godziny 4 godziny 5+ godzin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What makes skibidi not a real word? Sure, it’s a nonsense word often used to replace other words, but it still carries some meaning, even if vague

  Remember that linguistics isn’t just about high brow standard written/spoken language, it covers all types of language, including slang, body language and sign language

  There are real linguists with real qualifications who have actually studied gen Z and gen alpha slang and gotten scientific conclusions out of it

  I believe one linguist who studied it was able to either impress or embarrass a high school by speaking entirely in correct gen Z/gen alpha slang

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What constitutes an “actual word”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Green owl recruits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the language, but generally, use anki decks, study grammar (you can often find free grammar resources online) and read/watch/listen to content in the target language

  Eventually, you can start trying to communicate with other speakers, either online (via text chats/voice chats) or IRL if that’s possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ADB loopback apps already exist, such as Shizuku

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are already android apps that allow you to ADB into your own phone without root, so you could VERY EASILY just make an app store that utilises that, you only need to install the app from desktop once
