OH MY GOD YOU STARTED A RELIGION!
“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 tumblr linguistic prayer aka praise be to lesserjoke. schwa be with you.
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.

totally in the deep end of #linguistics that last few hours. what a morning. nothing like being at the core of a linguistic circle.
