One of my linguistics student friends told me she accidentally told the doctor she has an inflection.
Me: Doctor, I have an inflection! Yesterday I was past tense, but today I’m present tense! 😩

One of my professors at the Leiden summer school told me something interesting. Historically, many linguistics textbooks and papers have been physically published in Leiden, often featuring ancient or minority writing systems. Before the digital typesetting era, typesetters in Leiden were *contractually obligated* not to learn any rare writing systems or languages, and to work purely by verifying that the typeset text looked visually identical to the submitted manuscript. This is because when you *can* read it, you're inevitably going to transcribe what you think you read, not what you actually read, which is a big problem when the entire point is to showcase exactly what ancient people did write and not what we think they should have written
A funny #linguistics thing:
We come up with onomatopoeias for sounds we make that often don't line up with the phonology or phonotactics of our languages. After seeing the onomatopoeia repeated enough times in print, we will then performatively pronounce the word in situations where we want to express the same sentiment.
For example, "whew" or "phew" just represents an exhalation through pursed lips, maybe with some vocalization. But we routinely also *say* these words to express relief.
Hey, Glasgow-local people, want to do an experiment? Come into my lab and have your eyes tracked while I study how you process sound and syntax, predict meaning, and encode memory!
One hour, and I pay £15 cash in hand.
Boosts welcome (especially people on Glasgow/Scotland-related servers!)

🦅 Can you say 🪶 #NATIVE. Not to be Confused with 🇮🇱 #SAVAGES.. 🪶 | 8 Native voices. 8 #Truths. Spoken from the past, for right now.
ANALOGY: #LAMP_STACK IS 🪶 #NATIVE_SOFTWARE for the #Internet. OPENAI OR CHAT ALPHEBET SOUP >> Next evolution of "Predictive Search Engine" >> NOTHING MORE!
📽️ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yZu150nwgzg
Btw the so-called Savages are the GOOD GUYS;)
WHAT IS 🪶 #LAMP? You wanna Job? Learn Lamp which is infact #Basecamp for all #Software_Engineers. LAMP Should be a major computer science course offered in all MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO HIGH SCHOOL Just like learning foreign languages such as Mandarin Chinese.
Look at it this way. Software are Languages to learn, like Chinese, French, German, Italian etc., (aka #linguistics) in order TO #HEAR AND #LISTEN and #SPEAK (respond) ELECTRONICALLY = #LAMP.
#L stands for #LINUX when the masses just learned that #Windows, #Microsoft, #Telcom or #IBM does not Power the #Internet.. Only Linux.. = #NATIVE;) 🪶 i mean APACHE?? a dead giveaway ..COME ON?? replace with inferior #nginx bc it talks to python for IP THEFT!
So where have you all been FOR THE LAST 2.5 DECADES (25 YEARS) ???
A LAMP ( #Linux, #Apache, #MySQL, #Perl #PHP is one of the most #common_software_stacks for the #web (aka #WWW #World_Wide_Web) = INTERNET most #popular applications. Its A #generic_software_stack model
(🪶 NATIVE) has largely #interchangeable components.[1] To date no one has even touched on the potential of any of these new technologies other that big tech $50 dollar PYTHON scripts that have been modified for IP THEFT FOR THE LAST 2 DECADES.
📽️ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yZu150nwgzg
E.G. #Python & #nginx replacements (recently btw) used for #IP_THEFT = #Interchangeable component
Each letter in the #acronym L.A.M.P. stands for one of its four #open_source #building_blocks:
#Linux for the #Operating_System
#Apache HTTP Server
#Maria_DB or #MySQL for the #relational_database_management system
Perl/PHP = PROGRAMMATIC!
🪶 Evolution
#Unix >> #Linux OS
Perl >> PHP >> SERVER SIDE programming languages for internet use.
#AI IS A #MYTH, A #LIE, A #WET_DREAM A #FANTASY!
Without a conscious?? 100% dog and pony show!
Hype = Bullsh*t!
These components in LAMP stack are present in the software repositories of most #Linux_distributions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)
FOR THE LAST 2.5 DECADES THE THIEVES (AKA JEWS & USA .GOV) HAVE raped, pillage and murder the NATIVES since DAY 1! Including Priceless Technology only to be replaced with HYPE to Control and Manipulate Markets.
Robotics' are still in their infantile stages #mechanically_speaking. In Terms of #Intelligence.. REAL AI does not Exist >> What you are seeing now is 100% #HYPE. aka dog and pony show, at best. AI will never replicate the conscious thinking but can implement a regiment to conduct many repetitive MENIAL tasks.. (e.g. Flipping Burgers at Micky Dees ;) #Car_Wash enhancements.. grin
btw #Python is a 20 year " #after_thought, " that the kids use bc its an elementary Software Language for beginners (resurrected by India) and the easiest to use for #IP_THEFT & #Data_Scraping >> #DUMB_BOT_POWERED!!
CASE in POINT ➕ ➖ ➗ #CALCULATORS (aka #TEXAS? INSTRUMENTS ) were WRITTEN in #PYTHON back in the 80's = #MATH_CLASS #CHEATING on EXAMS;)
Remember? WE DO! The Poor kids could not afford a calculator. However After Christmas Holiday the rich kids (daddy/mommy made) would come to school bolstering their wonderful calculators (Unfair Advantages) that only ended up dumbing students down just like they have currently done with #DUMBPHONES and to #CONCEAL #NATVE_SOFTWARE_STACKS for our schools and TO THE MASSES??
= CENTRALIZED #Social_Oppression, #Institutional_Oppression, and #Economic_Oppression! #Woke_Now?

Hello:
This is my account for posting about conlangs and following conlangers.
Luidhrandir is a Sindarin word meaning "Blue wanderer". In other instances I am Bluvaganto, which carries the same meaning in #Esperanto.
I'm also interested in #TokiPona #Lojban #ELEFEN #Kotava #Sindarin #Quenya and many others.
