Caffeinated Linguist

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

Petition to let us read the fuck out of that!

spoken … written …. readen …. ?

‘Speak’ and ‘write’ are Germanic, ‘read’ is derived from Latin. We could have bastardized it more and gone with ‘readen’ all the same, though; shame that we didn’t :c

I have just decided that I will now be disappearing under mysterious circumstances.

no one likes academia, people just want to study moss or teach the youth about the history of illuminated manuscripts but the only way to get paid for it is to deal with a bunch of red tape and administrative paperwork bullshit. why do you think every professor is a lunatic

EXACTLY !
