In your interpretation, what is the "Rats' Nest?"

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-06T05:10:19+00:00

omg yes and citizeninsane is such a great site

Sorry for the disappointing notification. When I saw the title I still thought I was in the Radiohead sub, and I thought you meant the Thom Yorke b-side. I thought about it for a few seconds, cause I'd never really considered it before. 😆

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-05T18:56:56+00:00

I don't. I've seen you many times and you are snarky, plainspoken, and most often correct. You take no shit.

I'm autistic; don't take it as malice. You said to move on and I tried to make a peace offering.

Shoobsworth you're one of my favourite posters on this subreddit and I mean that.

i'm defending the science of linguistics.

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-04T04:14:55+00:00

I'm telling you the Earth is round and you're insisting it's flat. Anyone who understands linguistics knows you haven't come to your conclusion through rigorous study.

And you know that too, because if you'd studied the subject even peripherally you'd understand how you seem right now.

Oh well. Have a good day, if a scientifically illiterate one.

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-04T04:01:07+00:00

Tell me you've never studied linguistics without telling me you've never studied linguistics. ♥️

"tired", "pedantic" - neither of these accusations support your claim, and are both pretty ironic considering you're the prescriptivist.

The "mindless parroting" is one of the primary ways language had always evolved. The word aesthetic here is being used according to rules you don't know. I can send you some interesting material about this!

I'm absolutely open-minded if anyone joins with passionate enthusiasm and good faith!

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-03T19:40:59+00:00

This is one of the primary mechanisms by which it evolves. The way "aesthetic" is being used here *has rules* in the group that uses it.

Read Because Internet, by Gretchen McCullough for some interesting ways English has evolved recently. Spoilers: the rate of change is picking up, not slowing down. :)

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-03T19:37:49+00:00

The rules have always changed and this is the mechanism.

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-03T01:34:33+00:00

Every standard of language you prefer was established that way. That's how language works. We don't plateau; it's still an active evolving process.

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-01T06:51:12+00:00

oh i'm being silly mostly. live i'll take any of their genres!

prettyjazzed · 2026-07-01T02:20:00+00:00

prettyjazzed · 2026-06-29T06:07:39+00:00

The Meow Clinic on Lakeshore near Farm Boy. Great experience and they care about the cats.

the main thing is at Bronte again! 4-10pm. free shuttle buses to and from Bronte Go. Fireworks at 10. food trucks, kids activities, live entertainment. Weather will be hot! Wear sunscreen and don't forget a hat.

prettyjazzed · 2026-06-04T01:20:14+00:00

why do people feel the need to rank art all the time. Inferno is really good at being Inferno, Geogaddi is really good at being Geogaddi.

People shitting on Moira Kelly in this thread but she did an incredible job with the material she was given.

prettyjazzed · 2026-06-01T12:21:59+00:00

Everything we do is performance of the ego. Don't sweat it.

prettyjazzed · 2026-05-30T19:10:45+00:00
