Zompist Bboard Again

Oh, that's what I initially imagined actually, then I googled esophageal ph monitor and saw the tubed ones. Those wireless capsules are pretty scifi...

I just finished a four-day test of my oesophageal pH. This required having me go off all acid reducers (I'm on a prescription PPI which I supplement with antacids and such) and wearing a sensor inside of my oesophagus which broadcast to a recorder I had to carry with me at all times. It sucked. I b...

I've just watched this YouTube video about Vulgar Latin, made by an American. Every time he says "Latin" he makes an effort to fully pronounce the /t/, where Americans usually pronounce it something like /læʔn/ as far as I can tell. I don't know why, but it sounds very creepy and disconce...

My absolute favourite article along these lines: http://alex.francois.online.fr/data/AlexFrancois_2017_Economy-word-classes_St-in-Lg.pdf . I think every conlanger should read it. (I’ve already linked it a handful of times here.) Good article, thanks! The author's calculation to estimate the maximum...

Can you post audio of this? I can't quite imagine this as belonging to a plausible variety of English

This is way more fun than it has any right to be

I think I like it when you get carried away with ideas, this is great! I was hoping to learn more about the morphophonological shenanigans going on with this particular conlang. There is no more to learn: though I may have more to say about some other sections, I tried to be as comprehensive as pos...

OK, so I might have gotten just a little bit carried away with this… I think I like it when you get carried away with ideas, this is great!

Brad, Thank you very much for pickles and tea and your helping hand. I love pickles very much but I use too much sugar in tea and I am thinking to not use anymore but no success. In Turkey , people drinks 80 millions cup of tea everyday and government tea factories still cant make profit. I think s...

Leima also has a permissive mood: You men dum wain dane You men dum wain da-ne You may eat first To state more explicitly, the subjunctive particle can be used as a complementiser Ma aumrim oi men dum wain dane Ma aumrim oi men dum wain da-ne I let you eat first

Balog could, at this stage, easily get along without definiteness/specificity marking in the predicate IMO this is an interesting limitation that could lead to a creative solution. I haven't checked to see if you mentioned relative clauses above at all, but a predicate 3p pronoun modified by a rela...

But how is getting two shots, four weeks apart, instinctively more invasive than being put on a ventilator? It's not just the invasiveness. The instinctive fear is also prompted by the fact that it's applied population wide (because it's preventative) rather than to individuals who require an inter...

Found an interesting article on how readers distinguish Thai letters: http://wrdingham.co.uk/thai/tellthai_preface.htm . I recommend this to anyone who wants to make a conscript, as a concrete example of the principle that letters tend to avoid being too close together. Is that the website of the R...

Here to say I just watched c by Jan Misali and much enjoyed the credits song: the letter C has folks singing "it should be removed" that without it the alphabet would be improved it's a common complaint that's misguided at best no you can't just replace C with K and with S you know S becom...
