How to Spell “Tightie-Whities” (and Why You’re Probably Wrong) This definitive guide settles the spelling of “tightie-whities” once and for all—with wit, hyphens, and just a touch of panty pigment.

Tighty whiteys? Whitey tighties? No. Just no. The correct term is tightie-whitie (plural: tightie-whities). Because your briefs deserve clarity. 🧺 turnipstyle.com/2025/tightie...

When your huge dataset suddenly shrinks to a mere 83, it means you’ve filtered to much…. Lesson learnt: Use the Filter Function in Jasp wisely 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣😅 #science #phd #tourism #languagenerd #linguistics

Behold … the single greatest Little Library find of my life!

I’ve been meaning to buy a copy of The Languages of the Soviet Union for decades.

It will make a handsome addition to the others I own in the Cambridge Language Surveys series. (All others bought second hand.)

Every language is a time capsule.

When you study linguistics, you're not just analysing words.

You're unlocking how humans think, connect, and evolve.

What’s the strangest word origin you’ve ever come across?

Ever noticed “a whole ’nother” splits? That’s tmesis: inserting “whole” into “another” for emphasis in casual speech. Fun how we play with words! #Linguistics #LanguageNerd

The Ball Ist Dran 🤣 That's "denglish" a mix of German & English. I share the English expression: The Ball Is In Your Court For which there is no German equivalent. You just say: it's your turn = Du bist dran! Im englischen kann man den Ausdruck " The Ball is in your court = Der Ball ist in Deiner Ecke" für "Du bist dran" benutzen. 🐝 The Bee Writes... on the Web ⬇️ The Bee Writes (link) The Bee Writes... im Web ⬆️

ምልካም እድል (milikami idili) or Good Morning in Amharic Good morning, today we travel to Ethiopia where the Amhara people speak Amharic. They are one of the two main people in Ethiopia and Amharic is the lingua franca for all peoples groups in the country. Amharic (/æmˈhærɪk/ am-HARR-ik[6][7][8] or /ɑːmˈhɑːrɪk/ ahm-HAR-ik;[9] native name: አማርኛ, romanized: Amarəñña, IPA: ⓘ) is an Ethio-Semitic language, which is a subgrouping within the Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic languages.

having just done a roughshod translation of "gloria" for my sister's chorus, i am horrified to learn that my catholic latin is far, far worse than my classical latin... which is funny, considering i was raised catholic.

English is a tough language to learn!

The full rule says:

“I before E, except after C"

But did you know there is a second part that says:

"...or when sounded as A, as in neighbor and weigh."

"Disnification" has been around for a while, but it's good to see it being used. It's not a neologism if it's not being used for the first time.

Merci beaucoup ! FYI, one of the creators of Duolingo also created GOT's High Valyrian, which is one of the language options. It's a free language resource - have been using both their app and their website. Many language choices. Currently reviewing French & dipping into a few others. #LanguageNerd
