'A Song of Ice and Fire', the 21st century narrative saga, survives only partially; a prose recension covers the first half in great detail, as does an audio-visual one for roughly the same extent; after this we have only the audio-visual in an epitomated and much corrupted form.

anyone who offers any value judgement on any language is full of it
no language is easier / harder
no language is richer / poorer in expression
no language is more / less logical
no language is more / less precise

@ThatClassicist @Jonathan_Wallis I've done both and getting teeth removed is better...

People are doing scary twitter names? So I've made mine the scariest thing conceivable. 👻💀🎃

My favourite part of researching Ovid is probably reading books in public with titles like 'The Erotics of Domination'

don’t let anyone tell you that battling toxic masculinity is “anti-men” — wanting men to be thoughtful and sensitive and bookish and respectful and attuned to their own emotions benefits both men and women.

If I go into a supermarket without a plan I come out with the stupidest shit. Like today I went into woolies wondering what to have for dinner and left with just chocolate almond milk and cinnamon.

@drjayneknight German was my major before I changed it to Latin and ancient civs. I avoided choosing a major for the first two years of my degree though.

I nearly just said thank you to an atm out loud.

This is unbelievably awesome! It tells you a lot about what sounds an English speaker thinks are important, and how they interpret their spelling system. https://t.co/5ncYUYF8p0

I'm such an imposter that I've even convinced everyone I have imposter syndrome so they don't think I'm really an imposter.

From the article: “Over a third of British adults believe that emoji are to blame for the deterioration of the English language, according to new research.”

I have no problem believing this is true, because 9/10 of adults, British or otherwise, don’t know 🍆 about language. https://t.co/0NOht33Z3K

My biggest fear is that one day I will accidentally put cumin on my hot chocolate instead of cinnamon.

Duolingo knows me well.

@Queerlystr8 @drjayneknight I think ancient Roman animal spectacles seem even more interesting and important to study as a vegan. I particularly enjoyed seeing various non-vegans' perspectives on animal issues.
