#okay for once I am not ranting from rock bottom#but I did a lot of good coding in RStudio today#the bad part of that is I’m trying to tidy up the old Vulcan dictionary I used for my Semantics and Morphosyntax papers#this data is SO MESSY I cannot believe it#trying to get it to the point where R will even LOOK at it without being like ‘OH MY GOD THERE’S AN UNEXPECTED ITEM IN A PLACE’#NO I WON’T TELL YOU WHERE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON’ is like. pulling teeth#RStudio is a toddler I swear#it’ll be like ‘No! I wanted mashpotato! this not MASHPOTATO!!!’ and throw a fit until you put a comma in the right place#and then suddenly it’s like ‘Oh! ok! I eat this instead of mashpotato!!’ and you’re like???????!:!#anyway I’ve finally gotten the data so that R finds it readable and started isolating single values per cell#but insodoing some of the new columns I made have values that need to be in their own columns#like I have a column that has part of speech data mixed in with semantic domain data & other stuff#so now I’m going to have to do an if { loop#guess what we never covered in class? .-.#And since my professor is useless I will have to learn how to do if { loops by myself#OH and there’s bits of this table I may end up having to separate out then pivot then re-integrate#guess what else we never covered in class? .-. .-.#yup. so now I have to learn how to do pivot tables by myself#it’s either learn how to do these things on my own or find a work around that’s so jury-rigged it’ll never be reproducible#*heavysigh* I will figure this out even if it kills me
