@GraceOnFootball they're missing out by not hitting the manager with the most expected points per million pounds spent per 90 in league matches :/

@SashaWilmoth What is this second language like? I would imagine in small scale multilingual societies there is little classroom learning and hence little literature on the topic (unless descriptive)

@markrstats What did you count as immediately?

@SagirAhmed98 It's interesting that if you go further north to Arunachal Pradesh, at least in Adi (Bori-Karko), you get a completely unrelated form: "eso" (from Lalrempuii, 2005)
so I wonder exactly which TB groups align here

@maria_esipova I would love to, though I would call myself an "advanced beginner" so idk if you'd want to play yet (I promise I'm not that good just been playing a while lol), but also LMK if you want resources on learning! (I have a similar story to how I got into chess tbh!)

@lingdustin it was weird initially but it's fine for me, I think it can be a head noun for me in other situations too (however maybe only where it's easy to recover what the dose is 'of'?)

@NickTriani @SebSB contract length matters...

@tadbhavism I feel like it's an extension of giving a talk/ lecture/address? Lol

[Patrick Das / @[email protected] @PatrickDaitya]

@johnspacemuller why is football analytics so allergic to good and consistent documentation of their definitions 😢

[Patrick Das / @[email protected] @PatrickDaitya]

@TermyLC ohhhh LOL. yeah no clue.

[Patrick Das / @[email protected] @PatrickDaitya]

@TermyLC maybe because it's next to the english text? 🤔

[Patrick Das / @[email protected] @PatrickDaitya]

the words "apprehensive mood" and "fun" should never cooccur in a sentence 😔

[Patrick Das / @[email protected] @PatrickDaitya]

i feel like my old research projects are just ghosts over my shoulders...
coding some grammars for a project on nominal negation but i can't help but also always check "wait does this language have an apprehensive/lest construction btw....just for fun..." 😭

[Patrick Das / @[email protected] @PatrickDaitya]

@Raghnaid_Anna Well those metaphors aren't concurrent, I don't think lol

[Patrick Das / @[email protected] @PatrickDaitya]

the one thing that really icks me out about 'older' conceptions of linguistic diversity and writings about it is this idea of an 'untouched paradise' that existed, that is often expressed with biblical metaphors like "Babel"/"Garden of Eden"... (1/2)
