My face as I read this is in my Linguistics textbook.
When the full realisation of the awesomeness sank in.
However it then made me think of this.
Which made me look like this.
I feel it’s fate that I read it on the 31st October.
RIP Lily and James Potter.
For whatever reason, linguistics textbooks are often full of excellent things like this.

The most beautiful language on Earth
iksarra:
Just been listening to some Finnish music. I don’t know what it is, but whenever I hear this language something strikes the very core of my heart and I feel like I NEED to be in Finland, speaking this amazing language which is, in fact, too beautiful for words to describe. I think I’m in love all over again!
I don’t care what anyone says, this language is the best language ever to have...

It bugs me when people assume I'm a grammar Nazi.
yesigrok:
I’m really really not. I’m a linguistics minor. I read a lot. I know English grammar and spelling pretty well, and I understand the reasons behind the rules.
I know that sometimes, speaking with “proper” English grammar is important – in school, in job interviews, in other situations where it’s important that your speech prove that you’re educated and/or know what you’re talking...

I was going to go to bed early today...
…but ever since I found out that I can’t go into the school I work at I haven’t even bothered to get ready for bed or anything. My only class doesn’t start until eleven, so why even? I’m just going to spend a while adding words to my dictionary.

There’s no word yet on how the passes will be distributed yet. However, this appears to be another aspect of the Next Generation Initiative, where guests will eventually be able to schedule their entire trip in advance, from...

Reasons why I should not have a meal plan.
I have a headache -> I think it’s because I only had breakfast today -> I should eat something -> But I have a headache -> Let’s just eat in, then.
Later… The cafeteria is downstairs. Why did I make food again?

THIS IS REALLY HARD GUYS.
My roommate is so loud with her English and her not-Finnish and I CAN HEAR IT OVER MY STUFF. And headphones hurt after hours and hours of wearing them.
I have to stick to a lot of the same things and watch/listen repeatedly because it is extremely difficult to find new material. Why you ask? Well, one) I am so much more used to finding things easily because English is everywhere online and two) I...
