I think I just had a nerdgasm.

I saw that post of the girl needing help kick starting some research. I helped in the best way I could…at least I hope I did…. >_<

Anyway… I, knowing that English is a Germanic language, (that was groped by French and force-fed Latin rules) wanted to see if I could find a link.

But instead I discovered that Geek-speak in German is Fachchinesisch, which can be literally translated focus(like your major, or in this case, an obsession) Chinese.

It is so perfect because that’s how I feel when I have to give someone a Nerd Horn or The Gong of Obscure Reference.

Hey! I got a word in there. Uhhh…
It’s late, but I had to say how wonderfully awesome it was to meet John and Hank (even if it was ever so short). I gave a wrong name to someone for tumblr.. Cuz in the heat of the moment, I failed to remember what my tumblr URL was.

What else..? Uhhh. I have no voice, I had so much fun and I met lots of people. I have never gotten so many compliments on a shirt before. Unless people were lying and they actually were staring at my chest. Can’t says I blames ‘em…

Okay now I know I lost it. Oh one last thought: If the Yeti was, who I think, it’s no surprise why Henry is so cute.

I have more to say, but Lynná stole my computer and I’m doing this via iPod. It shall come at a later date.

Nerd. Nerdnerd. Nerdnanerd. NERRD.

I’m in a fit of giggles because this website has a specific application for linguists. Freelancing stuff, but it’s linguist specific. LINGUIST APPLICATION!!

I wish you could see the stupid on my face.

…5 minutes later… I’m not sure if this website knows what a linguist does…because it sure as hell isn’t translation crap…

*retracts application* *sigh*

That awkward moment…pff it ain’t that awkward

thatawkwardmoment:

when a sentence doesn’t end the way you think it octopus.

*puts on nerd glasses* AHEM. The above sentence is alright, but these ones are better:

A) A horse raced past the barn fell

B) The old man the boat

C) The man whistling tunes pianos

Theses are called garden path sentences. The reader starts parsing the sentences the way they think it should and then go WTF, thus leading them down the garden path. If you’re having trouble, allow me to help you:

A) The horse that was raced past the barn fell over (it’s the horse that fell, not the barn)

B) The boat is manned by the old

C) The man who is whistling tunes out piano.

Sorry, I had to do it. Not only are these sentences awkward, but sometimes they take a long time to get. Thatawkwardmoment didn’t lead me down the garden path, it just made me laugh because English doesn’t construct sentences like that.

The more about syntax I learn, the more I start think about how to tree what people are saying.
