I'm still finding verified #accounts from #news sites and #media organizations on #Mastodon for my list:

Now it contains more than 270 accounts in 16 languages. #German is still far in front, but #english is growing fast. And there are accounts in #italian, #spanish, #swedish, #dutch, #french, #catalan, #basque, #welsh, #turkish, #slovakian, #portuguese, #finnish, #danish & #czech.

The majority is very active.

Have a look:

补完了这本书，学到了补语这个概念，不知道跟正统的语法概念有没有出入，但对自己是挺有用的，因为它给一些我常常困扰的语法概念提供了一种非死记硬背（强迫性的意外“法则”）的“合理”解释。这么说来英语也是挺有它的逻辑的。扣掉一分是因为它举的例句挺厌女的。

British English is funny.

Interesting. According to Brent Spiner (the actor who plays the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation)

1) it was Patrick Stewart's UK pronunciation of his character's name (day-tah instead of the US's dah-tah) that made this pronunciation canon, and

2) the character of Data and the popularity of Star Trek has led to "day-tah" now being the common pronunciation in the US, too.

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, a fediverse microblog for single users.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文/#漢文)!
