(21:47:20) Sarah: I think I'd have rather went to the leper colony with my parents than be swamped by old ladies.
(21:48:33) Sarah: The leper colony is historical, therefore cool.
(21:48:40) Sarah: Old people are NOT historical, unless they have neat stories...they're just old.
(13:27:47) kesuari: i don't entirely no
(13:28:01) Jonor Thwash: you don't entirely no what? ;)
(13:28:40) kesuari: i don't entirely no why we maintain this farce of an orthographical system
(19:13:11) kesuari: well, i suppose they say one way to become a great artist is to copy everyone else
(19:13:26) kesuari: well, copy the great artists i mean
(19:13:37) kesuari: someone who wanted to paint well shouldn't copy any drawings i've done
(13:31:11) Aaron B: i've taken to calling lots of things adventures now
(13:31:17) Aaron B: like, if i get lost -- that's an adventure
(13:31:30) Aaron B: forgot to buy something at the grocery and have to go back -- an adventure
(13:31:35) Aaron B: it makes me feel like my life is exciting
(13:31:57) Aaron B: i haven't yet gotten so desperate that i need to "adventure" to the living room
(13:32:00) Aaron B: but that day may come
(23:17:03) [me]: ROFL
(23:17:08) Aaron B: ?
(23:18:29) [me]: just the way you talk about phonology
(23:18:38) Aaron B: how's that?
(23:18:45) Aaron B: like it's baseball cards?
(23:19:01) [me]: hah, no, like the actually processes are people
(23:19:08) Aaron B: oh, they totally are
(23:19:12) Aaron B: that's how i understand things
(23:19:18) Aaron B: segments are "doods"
(23:19:21) Aaron B: processes are things doods do
(23:19:41) Aaron B: constraints are like guys with whips
(23:19:55) Aaron B: bein' all like "dood, do this or i'll whip you"
(23:20:00) Aaron B: but then higher ranked constraints have bigger whips
(23:20:15) Aaron B: and are like "yeah, i know the dood to my right is going to whip you, but imma whip you harder if you don't satisfy me"
(22:54:40) [me]: /r/ → [j] → ∅
(22:55:33) Aaron B: ??
(22:55:41) Aaron B: whatʼs the second arrow mean?
(22:56:08) Aaron B: /input/ -> [output] -> telepathy?
(22:56:18) Aaron B: that would explain the sound/no sound alternation...
...
(22:57:12) Aaron B: if that's the case, then there might be a weird kind of suppletion thing going on
(17:40:43) kesuari: my dialect has everything to do with syntax ungrammatical?
Left-over master's thesis? Those things are like a surgeon's tool that gets left inside the body.
Тралик: "Түнкү канал эрте көрсөтүлүп калган экен."
мен: "Анткени азыр саат 12ден кийин эч кимде шам жок."
(16:27:22) kesuari: is *that* what causes that bug?
(16:27:27) kesuari: i hadn't worked it out yet
(16:27:30) kesuari: but you could easily be right!
(16:27:33) [me]: that's what I assumed it was
(16:27:36) [me]: and of course I'm right
(16:27:50) kesuari: including about all the contradictory things you might've said about l/n?
(16:28:02) [me]: that's all just theory
(16:28:07) [me]: there's no way to be right for sure ;)
(16:28:21) kesuari: but if you contradict yourself, you must be wrong
(16:28:32) [me]: no, just stating theories
(16:28:32) kesuari: especially if you begin the contradiction by saying "oh, i was wrong before"
(16:28:39) [me]: have I said that?
(16:28:42) [me]: .. probably actually
(16:28:43) kesuari: i don't know
(16:28:45) kesuari: i'm assuming you have
(16:28:50) kesuari: because it makes my theory make you look bad
