And then @robdelaney says one of the most brilliant things I have ever read on being an evolving ally. No, I take that back. An evolving human being.

#why does nobody talk about this scene #honestly just look at his face #he’s crushed #and right after that last gif #he does this thing where he shakes his head #kinda like ‘no we’re getting married’ #she wouldnt do that anymore #things are different now #cause amy was always a flirt #and he had gotten used to her kissing guys on a regular basis #but it was the night before their wedding #and you can see how happy he is even when amy is mentioned #but it hits him like a battering ram #she tried to kiss this guy #who has done nothing but make her wait #while i never leave her #but she wants him #she wants the doctor #and theres nothing i can do about it #cause im just rory

Do different languages confer different personalities?

The Economist - RLG - November 5th

LAST week, Johnson took a look at some of the advantages of bilingualism. These include better performance at tasks involving “executive function” (which involve the brain’s ability to plan and prioritise), better defence against dementia in old age and—the obvious—the ability to speak a second language. One purported advantage was not mentioned, though. Many multilinguals report different personalities, or even different worldviews, when they speak their different languages.

It’s an exciting notion, the idea that one’s very self could be broadened by the mastery of two or more languages. In obvious ways (exposure to new friends, literature and so forth) the self really is broadened. Yet it is different to claim—as many people do—to have a different personality when using a different language. A former Economist colleague, for example, reported being ruder in Hebrew than in English. So what is going on here?

I’m linking this here (mostly so I can easily find it later) because it contains so much useful information, not only for (fanfic) writers but also linguists and translators. For those of you who struggle with British and American expressions. :>
