I'm watching a video essay of a linguist giving his thoughts on Project Hail Mary and his few critiques are unsurprising: both the movie and the book misses a lot of the more complicated nuances of linguistics and the true level of complexity is far beyond what the book even manages to imply.

Most of us can probably agree that Rocky with his perfect memory and bonkers hearing is the one with the far greater advantage in language learning. Grace may never have learned Eridian without the aid of a computer and a whole lot of software.

So like. Just how severely has Rocky simplified his Eridian? His characterisation doesn't really paint him as a person to hold someone's hand through basic tasks, but like. He's been going stir-crazy alone on his ship for ages, and he is an engineer, not a poet.

Maybe it's not that much of an issue to flip the word order when all the (very complex) math you do is mental arithmetics. Sure, he can completely invert the word order. Eh, he can get by on three sets of vocal chords most of the time. Yeah he can slow down a bit. Better skip the discussion of Eridian pronouns entirely and mostly stick to proper names and whatever pronouns Grace seem to like. Idioms are probably a waste of time.

Can you even imagine what it would have been like for Grace to arrive to Erid?

You're severely malnourished. You float between sleep and being vaguely delirious. You're most definitely getting carried out of the Hail Mary because muscle atrophy and 2 G of gravity equals a very bad time.

And the second Eridian you meet in your puny human existence vibrates your sinuses wide open just by saying hi.

when brandon sanderson talks about villains in his famous free youtube writing class video lectures he'll say 'what's the difference between gollum and sauron' and of course he means the villain that's present in the narrative and characterized in a way the audience can potentially relate to or sympathize with vs. the looming threatening anonymous far-off force (among other things). but every time he asks that i think 'well one of those guys tracked down frodo and got his ring back'

the reason these regs went largely unchallenged by f1 media until now is because they went largely unchallenged by f1 fans and i genuinely have to look no further than the charles and oscar spa situation to point out that it’s because a lot of you are embarrassingly allergic to hard racing that f1 thought they could sell this artificial bullshit as entertaining in the first place. remember how at the beginning of the season a lot of people swore up and down that watching the ferraris whack each other for the epic highs and lows of p3 was the best racing they’ve EVER seen in formula 1 and they called it ethical wheel instead of stupid fucking battery powered back and forth oh and then people who never watched a singular lap of a 90s f1 race started coming out saying the sport's been boring for 40 years now actually and it's not until 2026 that overtaking was made possible and kimi antonelli who gets noted for track limits 7 minutes into an fp2 session and who had you clutching a rosary last year whenever he got near your driver because as my best friend charles leclerc pointed out so astutely he is BAD at wheel to wheel no he's actually the best qualifier and driver on the grid and max verstappen with his clearly superior red bull engine he's just washed i fear don't worry about it

if you're having trouble sleeping the best you can do is put a bright object close to your face and look at it for at least 30 minutes. if that doesn't work you can close your eyes but make sure to think really hard about a bunch of bullshit
