So when you have Dean tell Sam to put on his jumper and grab the torch from the boot after he pulls onto the verge and get worried when Sam has a temperature of 39 degrees? It really doesn't work. Ditto...versus actual language, but if you're doing enough research to make references to specific brands in fic, you can damn well make the effort of having them use the native units of measure, too.)
...responses and we don't always agree on everything. But in other ways it's easier; I can draw on other people's experience (waves at padparascha who is all happy about getting to use her linguistics degree) and we'll be able to assign subtasks to different people. I think this also correlates more closely to how natural languages evolve; they are inherently collaborative efforts by a group...
"Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you believe in marriage between any people who wish to marry, be it a man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, man and woman and woman, whatever; and you...years old any more because our situation in this modern world is vastly different than anything they could have imagined. We need to change. WE need to redefine ourselves. I am tired of these limitations
Подборочка наиполезнейших ссылок по лёгкому (и весёлому!) изучению английского для вас: Поиграйте в Виселицу чтобы проверить своё знание простых английских слов. Милая обучающая флэшечка. Вы вообще...форме. Ну и как вишенка на торте - ВИДЕО-УРОКИ. Где вы ещё такое найдёте? Решила, что теперь буду регулярно по четвергам выкладывать подобные ссылки. Надеюсь, что кому-нибудь, да пригодится =)
... I really want to be. I really want to do something no one has ever done. I want to be special. I know it's a dumb want. A really dumb want. But I want it. *sigh* Anyway, I think I could do that for Linguistics. I could. I think. I can't... I don't want to just be a teacher. I know that when my Mum came to tell me that she didn't make an impact in the world; and then I told her she was a teacher....
...the halls until I finally grabbed Eyrun and made her get rid of it for me. She's such a good friend. ^_^ I was actually considering spending the rest of the night in the study room.... Anyway, on to linguistics. One of the Korean kids in my Japanese class has the hardest time making the z-sound, it's adorable. He also doesn't distinguish between ch- and sh-, so instead of saying 'chigai' (different...
Ugh. Asked a classmate if she had any idea when we were getting the morph assignment back. She said the professor had no idea, because some people had handed in 20 page projects. The hell? She said seven pages max . I trimmed that damn thing down to fit in as much as I could in exactly seven pages, and people turned in 20 page projects that aren't rejected? Argh. This is ridiculous.
... the protection of everyone's right to marry whom they please, because an attack on ANYONE'S marriage is an attack on the integrity of marriage in general. Details here. I wish the people who want to prevent and break up marriages would QUIT saying they are for "protection of marriage." They aren't. They aren't for "family values" either. Hatred is not a family value .
One day I was just searching around on LJ (I think for educational technology communities) and I found a1tered_carbon’s journal. It’s quite interesting. Both in content and in style. The style is very...his brief tutorial on the concepts of semiotic domains and I have applied that understanding in my life already. My local librarian is going look into getting a copy.
