sirmattypants:

“Our lesserjoke, who art in amhurst, hollowed be thy tumblr. Thy language come, thy spoke and sung, on dealings with our mother tongue. Give us this day, our daily schwa, and forgive us our consonants, as we forgive those who shift vowels against us. And lead us into description, and deliver us from prescription. The vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciations are forever and ever. Amen.”

The fuck? What am I looking at? How did this happen?

I have something of a fanclub of linguists on Tumblr. I’m still not entirely sure how this happened, but they’re all such lovely people!

i forgot to archive this. one of my moments.

on the unwanted in #linguistics

i tell you guys, #speechlore could be our #spilled ink which is basically a #filter used by the poets on tumblr to separate actual poetry from poetry “from authors long dead, overseen quotes, images, etcetera”, basically layman spam, and in our case would completely cut out language pedants and irrelevant posts for some reason tagged with #linguistics or #language
