me flirting: u make me feel less dead
being a human is kinda dumb because we get to REASON and THINK HARD which really isn’t fair, i’d rather be an orchid and eat light beams all day, no offense to the miracle that is evolution, like, thanks for the opportunity to participate in an advanced society but put me in the ground
translating words based off cognate patterns like
delicious (english)
delicioso (spanish)
fergalicious (english)

Linguistics infodump!
In addition to prefixes and suffixes, some languages have circumfixes and infixes! Altogether these would be called affixes. A circumfix would be something added to the beginning and the end of the word at the same time, but it would change the meaning of that word as one unit, and infixes are when the affix is put in the middle of the word.
The English language doesn’t typically use circumfixes or infixes, but! We do have an infix. You just won’t see it being used very much in formal situations because, along with being pretty new, it is abso-f*cking-lutely not used in ‘polite company’. (That’s the infix right there; I just censored it.)
English also uses prepositions (I’m inside the house), but you could also have postpositions (I’m the house inside) or circumpositions (I’m in-the house-side). You could probably have inpositions, and there are probably languages that use that, but I haven’t really found any on that yet. ^_^
how am i supposed to be a stone cold bitch if i still believe that my stuffed animals have feelings

Today’s study goals is to start pulling apart Jude the Obscure for my Victorian Literature exam next month which I’m slightly terrified about.
03/24/16 // 6:59am // another photo from yesterday! Reading and annotating Toni Morrison’s short story, Sweetness, which I really enjoyed! She’s a wonderful writer :)
I love finding other people’s annotations in secondhand books - especially books that people have obviously studied from 📖 . . . #lolita #literature #books #bookstagram #reading #booklr #nabokov
i really love our generation’s joke trend of like, very calm but incredibly inflated hyperbole. like nobody says “oh she’s pretty” anymore we say “i would willingly let her murder me” and everyone is just like “lol same”
i think “same” is also great and “me,” i love when somebody reblogs a picture of like, a lizard, and just says “me” and we all know exactly what they mean. the current online Humor Discourse is remarkable because we trade exclusively in metaphors and implications and nobody ever, ever says anything outright and yet EVERYBODY understands each other perfectly
#ppl are gonna write their dissertations on this shit (x)

This reminds me of the time when I was on vacation with my family and we were hiking, and after using a rest stop, the conversation turned to the grossness of outhouses and port-a-potties, and I said that if I ever got splashback from a port-a-potty, “my soul would depart my body.” My parents found that hilarious, and my dad commented that my generation can be so clever with words bc he would only think to say something like “It would be disgusting” which doesn’t convey the sentiment nearly as well as “my soul would depart my body.”
Adjacent but relevant is Tia Baheri’s “Your Ability to Can Even: A Defense of Internet Linguistics”
I find this so intriguing because it opens up so many possibilities for future writers to connect with their readers.
I taught a student the word “weeaboo” today and so far it’s the definite high point of my English teaching career
