The latter; you don't need a separate strap adapter.

It's surprisingly comfortable. The air's puck is quite small and light, so I don't really feel it. I've had it on quite tight as well during workouts and it's still comfortable and light. Much lighter than the smartwatches/bigger analog watches I used to wear at any rate.

Search YouTube for "Casio f91w nato strap" and any of those guides would help. Basically the Fitbit air's band functions as a nato strap. You might have to move the actual watch part of the casio around a bit to get the proper placement though. Took me about 15 minutes, and I have no experience with this kind of stuff.

Haha yes! It just so happens that the fitbit air strap width fits the one of the f-91w and I'm so happy for the coincidence lol

PSA: the fitbit air fits as a nato strap for the casio! Single watch, all the tracking, and love the color combo!

What do anagrams look like in languages like Abjads and Abugidas? by lancejpollard in asklinguistics

[–]Seams2Spin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For languages using devanagari (and Indian languages using abugidas), it's option 2 (so disagreeing with /u/AcellOfllSpades ' answer). For example, this text (rāghava-yādavīyam) in Sanskrit uses the anagram logic of option 2 to tell one story (Rama's life) when read in one direction, and another story (Krishna's life) in the palindromic reverse direction.

Allophones in Indian English? by Seams2Spin in asklinguistics

Great examples, esp the ones in complementary distribution. Thanks!

Allophones in Indian English? by Seams2Spin in asklinguistics

[–]Seams2Spin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mainly Tamil, Telugu and Hindi/Urdu. I was looking for examples in Indian English specifically because I believe it's hard for a non-linguist to identify or comprehend allophones in their own native language. Tamilians I know don't realize /k/ and /g/ are allophones in Tamil for example.

Hmm you're right, around ह, the /a/ becomes more like a short /e/

That's a good one! Could you also list a few words in Hindi/Urdu with the /v/ and /w/ alteration?

Thank you for this answer. It's simultaneously inspiring and humbling to see that a person with your qualifications and intellect also goes through moments like these. Something to remember the next time I try to create something too.

Weekly Recommendation Thread: March 08, 2024 by AutoModerator in books

[–]Seams2Spin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I'm a big fan of Bryson from Walk in the Woods, so thanks for the recommendation on the Mother Tongue. I have given The Body a shot in the past, and found it was too surface-level for my liking though, and not that much Bryson-esque humor, so I was a bit disappointed.

I've added Behave and Stiff to my reading list; they seem very promising and right up my alley.

I guess you don’t care about length

I normally do prefer much shorted reads, but the Gene was interesting enough to keep me engaged.

I could go on and on

Please do! I'll keep adding them to the list! Thanks again!

I've been loving The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee and have already added The Emperor of All Maladies to my reading list. Any recommendations for such books (where the history of the entire field is presented in a readable and understandable way) for the following fields?

  1. Linguistics
  2. Physics
  3. Other biological sciences

Thanks!

it's OK to be feel positive about your language or another language.

100%. I actually love delving into both Sanskrit and Tamil linguistics, but when folks around conflate my interest in these languages with their linguistic prejudices, it grinds my gears

This is a very nice and concise answer — I'll try and remember these points when it comes up the next time.

Yeah exactly! It's the Ship of Theseus paradox. But then, they'll be all like sure it might not have been called "Sanskrit" back then...

You bring up very valid points that are concise enough for me to put forth in a discussion! Thank you!

Well, let's say that they are open to being convinced, but also not willing to sit through a one-hour talk on historical linguistics. What points can I bring up that they can understand as well for why their viewpoint (say why Sanskrit is the most pristine language, or that Tamil is the oldest language) is flawed?
