@zillowgonewild I didn't see a potato shed. Do you think there'd be a place for one?

@lawzinaj I've heard Moroccans use مجي, although جاي would be more popular as the present participle. Imperative أجي becomes more like أزي in baby/child talk, particularly from women.

[Jeff Finley @FolksterFinley]

@drantbradley My Q is when did this become the norm? I imagine that would be informative. My guess is that a shift away from pioneer/agro (rugged family survival) society plus the draft culture of WWI and WWII created panic about boomers not having independence forming experiences by 18.

@ClassyArabic Are you making an argument for Moroccan Arabic's superior use of "Jouj"?

[Jeff Finley @FolksterFinley]

@lawzinaj It makes sense to me that the final vowel in 3fs perfect would tend to receive (esp. in cases of pronoun omissions) more stress to clarify the agent, which might avoid the vowel reduction to schwa happening in construct form.

@BarryUrbanism Honestly a lot of therapy. Oh, also, "lunch."

[Jeff Finley @FolksterFinley]

@the_transit_guy I used to drive almost 9 hours from Chicagoland to Nashville and then back again for breaks in grad school and b/c of car brain somehow thought it was "not that bad."

@UrbanEastNash My grandparents lived in one of these for several years while I was young. I learned how to swim in the pool there. After swimming, we would beg grandpa for 25¢ Sunkist sodas from the vending machine. Grandma always had little Debbie creme pies for us. Thanks for posting.

@cashville_etc Guitars you need = guitars you have + 1

[Jeff Finley @FolksterFinley]

Big nope

[Jeff Finley @FolksterFinley]

@azforeman I'm curious about where/how you're taking this class. Could you share details for those interested in learning Judeo Arabic?

[Jeff Finley @FolksterFinley]

@TylerAlterman I also did this for my Eagle Scout project and was amazed. I was in a great troop and probably one of my enduring take-aways was this type of realization that more is possible/flexible than we typically imagine.

@SarahRollens There is a great timeline in the back of the Regions on the Run book by John Monson.

If your brand has literally become a verb in multiple languages (no more تغريدات!), rebranding might be a bad idea.

@matt_boot_ Moroccans use these only for the blood relative, not the in-law, except when used as an honorific (in which case the kinship term doesn't need to correspond to the side of the family).

[Jeff Finley @FolksterFinley]

@korinreid I think you just have to hold your baby during take off and landing if you don't have a special car/plane seat for them. Other than that they can be on their own. We tried the cares harness but our son hated it and it doesn't install well on some airplanes.

CASHIER: bonjour

ME: oh! bonjour

CASHIER: qu'est-ce que je peux t'offrir?

ME: well it looks like the jig is up

The star witness before the grand jury though, was the Sorting Hat, who chortled knowingly and shouted, "SLYTHERIN!!!" over and over again.

[Lisa Rubin @lawofruby]

Jared Kushner's testimony before a federal grand jury is significant for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it suggests the fundraising prong of the 1/6 investigation is very much live. 1/

I love how this was just a bad storm cell in Chicago but got upgraded to "Tempest" by the time it reached Montreal. The Midwest vastly undersold it. Missed a huge opportunity.
