Curryketchup ❌ Tedesco sauce ✅

The abstract and the introduction are peak "change it just enough so the teacher can't tell you copied me"

The last time in like 2 years that I saw a software product and was like now THAT'S a good idea! was Meccha Chameleon

TIL that in a West African context it's such a given that the starch will come with something more flavorful that if you see "white rice" on the menu you can automatically assume you'll have a little thing of tomato sauce next to it 🍚🍅

I really have a plant living in an empty salsa jar filled with water with 1 drop of fertilizer per week and here I am being like "I must purchase jalapeno kettle chips or I'll die"

I think I've unlocked the key to a good protein smoothie, which is acidity doesn't play nice with it. Today I didn't mess with any frozen fruit or nothing I just did banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, protein powder. That's all you need

Trochę rozumiem po polsku! 🇵🇱

I literally had to look up is it roofs or rooves cause both sound right

Ran out of cornstarch to coat my stir fry meat. Pleased to report that masa harina is a very good substitute, zero pan stickage and does great at absorbing excess liquid

Why doesn't LE SSERAFIM 르세라핌 have a double S ㅆ?

I am overjoyed to report that sauerkraut goes great in a quesadilla

My otherwise-robust Mandarin /n/ ~ /ŋ/ alternation in codas (incompletely?) neutralizes in connected speech before /w/ probably due to that velar-ness from the w: 金文 /tɕin wən/ [tɕiŋwɛn] 'bronze inscriptions' 经文 /tɕiŋ wən/ [tɕiŋwɛn] 'scripture'

PSA, instead of the regular dark soy sauce (老抽) I got the mushroom flavored one bc it was like a dollar less? Nasty. Don't get it. Been stuck with that bottle for the past 6 months being like I should have just paid the dollar.

I just hyperforeignized [ʒ]eneral Tso's Chicken. The worst part is I have no one but myself to blame

KPMG stands for KuPhead and MuGman

In my (dia? idio?)lect of NE Mandarin those diphthongs don't have to be very diphthongy to count. The underlying /a ~ aj ~ aw/ contrast happily surfaces as [a ~ æɛ ~ ɑɔ] where advancement does basically all the work.

Do you want to laugh at my misfortune? I tried making egusi for the first time. AND I FORGOT TO CHOP THE GREENS

THAT'S A WRAP! See you next year at (tentatively) Haskell Indian Nations University next year!

It's a historically small conference. I said to expect 30, and if we get 50 it's a runaway success. The way I counted 76 people today 🥹

The Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference began today :) this conference kept me in the linguistics game during my gap years so it is a true honor to host it!

What do you mean normal is a pokemon type. If I was a pokemon and I was NORMAL I'd be big mad.

Just made my first passable jollof! To be clear - not good. Passable.

Conference just ended and if you'd asked me 24 hours ago I would've been like I wanna do that again! Day after at the airport and now I'm like, yeah I don't mind waiting a year

This Burmese tea leaf salad was one of the best things I've had recently. Side of chicken curry puffs, also delightful

Come see KU at #ACAL #ACAL57! On Thursday at 4:30 Brakson Ping shows us how for vowel coalescence in Dzə polar questions, you've got options. 🇳🇬❓ At the same time Jean Paul Ngoboka and I are presenting variation in Kinyarwanda, showing how one morpheme has a dizzying array of acceptance patterns. 🇷🇼

"ai guardrails"and it's just a prompt saying "pweeeeaaaaase"

Pandan is delicious, it's been a while since I've had something I've truly never had before and MMMMM this one's worth it

If you could go back and acquire your first language again, what would you do differently?

Nice To Know You + Sugababes deserves to be a Stateside tier hit

Oh wow, my unmarked pronunciation of "forward" is homophonous with "ford."

In Korean, when two consonants go walking, the first one does the talking. This rule works about as well as it does in English.

I do wish kasra had a kasra in it and damma had a damma in it

Update: ½

Time to read what I wrote yesterday and see if I still stand by it

OrcID = who I'd be if I was an orc

Come one, come all, to the Lawrence Public Library THIS SATURDAY 11 am - 2 pm to explore language with KU linguists! We are hosting an interactive drop-in event where folks of all ages can explore the science of language. There will be stickers and buttons and bracelets- what more could you want? 🌻

Zou ik echt voor en conferentie naar Groningen moeten gaan HMMMMM....

The word for owl is imitative in a lot of languages: German Uhu, Thai hûuk. Thank goodness it wasn't a barn owl cause then the word would be AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I've always been unable to perceive the dominant American pronunciation of /ojl/ "oil" as anything but [ojəl]. I reduce it to [ol]. Today I realized that UNDERLYING /ojəl/ sees the same fate in my inspect: "loyal" is [lol]!

And if I say that STRUT should be UH and FOOT should be OO?

This one's pretty fun

My plasma donation is headed to a facility in Tennessee. It'll be the first time I'm back in my home state since 2001 LOL

auch wenn ich in einem chinesischen restaurant aufgewachsen hab hab ich niemals jemanden egg foo young bestellen sehen, noch hab ich das selbst gegessen - bin eigentlich nicht sicher dass es überhaupt existiert

Mental Jewelry - Live sounds like they made a deal with the devil and they're playing to save their souls. It's immediate and arresting, like a shot of apple cider vinegar in the morning.
