its like a massive logic game its so much fun i love it

[Mim Wade @stratoSyntax]

and besides even if you think you like app ling theo ling can really enthrall you, its why i moved from socio to syntax

[Mim Wade @stratoSyntax]

build the field around the science, not the other way around my dudes come on this is why no one likes us

[Mim Wade @stratoSyntax]

sure socioling is fun as hell but it's not very scientific as things stand right now, at least not always

[Mim Wade @stratoSyntax]

but we gotta enlist em dudes, the mathematicians have helped make so many other fields great, linguistics needs their help asap

[Mim Wade @stratoSyntax]

I really wish I had taken maths when i chose my a levels, im going to try and get back into it but its a bit late

[Mim Wade @stratoSyntax]

also a note from a friend I wholeheartedly agree with: lingusitics NEEDS MORE MATHS

[Mim Wade @stratoSyntax]

Friendly reminder that English Language a level is not linguistics and that actual linguistics requires actual logic and is way more fun

@voidwarbler @MissusVee @katemond @Babelzine Aka 'the dog's danglies', 'the mutt's nuts' and by analogy 'the badger's nadgers'

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

Best translation fail. The arabic spells out a transliteration of 'meat ball' in English - which sounds like 'mayit baul', or Dead Paul.
