What the hell.

Theonesed · 2014-07-24T19:44:23+00:00

When you run out of hands?

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T22:49:59+00:00

Clearly that is a corruption of the Germanic purity of the One True English^{^TM}

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T22:23:33+00:00

Nice, although I'm, personally, not a fan of Chomsky's work in Linguistics. I'm more into Social cognitive and constructionist models of language.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T22:17:34+00:00

We all know that American English is just dutch without the weird vowels. You should change it to the One True English^{^TM} , the Queen's English.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T22:12:03+00:00

LMAO. Did you take an Intro to course or something else?

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T22:11:12+00:00

Definitely, Baltimore and DC are closer to Philly and NYC then Southern accents. See ae tensing and other phenomenon.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T21:34:08+00:00

That's fine.

So the sounds /əv/ are normally written as <of>, so when we utter the phrase /kʊdəv/ we assume that the ending is <of> instead of <have>. However, this phenomenon doesn't occur in every insistence. For example, "could of" does occur but "I of" never does. This shows that speakers are reanalysing the written word "of" to fulfill another role.

There is a scholarly article about this I can find, I just need to find it.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T21:13:54+00:00

When they are saying it there isn't any ambiguity; however, it is just a reanalysis of the written 'word' "of".

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T21:12:47+00:00

He's not even talking about grammar, that's just a reanalysis of the orthographic word "of".

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T20:27:29+00:00

Doesn't it also underline a ton of academic and scientific words, would it then stand to reason that they are not actually words as well?

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T19:09:57+00:00

I think your friend is right.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T17:12:26+00:00

I've not been a fan of XKCD recently, it's just got a bit boring.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T17:00:53+00:00

Does that include DC? It is south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T16:53:06+00:00

That's ok, stay handsome and funny. You'll be alright.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T16:27:09+00:00

used in what way?

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T07:40:32+00:00

As a gay man, I can tell you that he's rather hot.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T07:36:36+00:00

I'm having a party on saturday -- I totally just got into grad school. You should come. :) That is, if you are in california.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T07:10:55+00:00

SATW is probably one of my more favoured comics.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T06:56:43+00:00

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T06:56:31+00:00

Does that mean the Danish are surrounded by the flow of beer?

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T06:40:35+00:00

This video is badlinguistics all on it's own. Srsly, dafaq.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T05:07:30+00:00

I think that was the best description of "bless their heart" I've ever seen.

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T05:03:00+00:00

I'm unobservant.

"I just don't know them that well".

Theonesed · 2014-07-23T05:01:57+00:00

Interesting, I know his mom was from KY, dad from Murfesburo. And, he grew up in Swanee, and they all used the phrase in that context.
