@rogerkmoore RIP Yorick, larger than life, larger than death. He will be remembered for many achievements.

@davidschlangen LOL :) Still needs to learn how to make a charismatic speech or convincingly beg for 5 dollars to get a bus home, and other dimensions of spoken language. Maybe it will come. We will see.

@Jan_Rybicki Thomas B. and his Shakspeare forever! But: here we have adults trying to look good to kids; refusal to prepare kids to confront noxious adults; denial of historical fact; commercial counterfeiting of Dahl. And talent-free!

#ChatGPT is a gossip machine.

Why? #Gossip is "casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true."

Can be entertaining, of course.

@aljwhite Hilarious!

@rogerkmoore Yes, "motherese", for instance, is a well-known example of parent accommodation to offspring.

@Jan_Rybicki LOL, just enjoy all the praise!

[Dafydd Gibbon @Deegee]

@JWGrieve @Jan_Rybicki @MaciejEder @rstudio I agree. It's also a huge contribution to corpus linguistics.

Here's to the new German ROBOT COALITION! (Referred to with the nickname "Ampelkoalition", "traffic light coalition" because of the colours of the parties concerned). Guess what the South African word for "traffic light" is 😉

@davidschlangen Maybe people are too timid to try "Mem"...
