Really curious about Ben's use of "them" throughout the gas station thing.
Are the attendant's pronouns they/them? Doesn't really come up. Seems pretty he/they.
Were there supposed to be two attendants in the original script? Or a differently-modeled character? I don't think Brock Powell's pronouns are they/them. Maybe Ben's just really general with his pronouns.
#they use singular nouns to refer to the attendant#so...maybe?#it's quite possible that Ben just uses they/them for any strangers he meets#could be a character quirk#swan watches chaos theory#this isn't really a gender thing so much as a production scripting thing#wouldn't surprise me if they had planned for two people there#then went ''eh one is easier''#jwct#chaos theory

everyone add another tally to the board, my brother asked me another question having to do with one person he heard one time and expected me to know the answer because "you're a linguist"
#the q he asked was why british people (apparently) say are instead of is for singular nouns that imply more than one person#so like “the band” or “apple” were examples he gave me#i too would like an answer dear brother#alas i do not know#and i once again reminded him that im not technically a linguist just yet#but it never helps when i say that

Austin is ready to beat YOU up??? You sure not the other way around??? 😭😭😭😭 ((he’s hot but let’s be real. He’s a pain.
I’m curious cuz WHAT DID YOU DO??? Did you break his camera??? Cuz I mean, that’s one way to piss a paparazzo off
#also TIL that the singular noun for ‘paparazzi’ is ‘paparazzo’#happy learning#anyways why do anons always leave such cryptic asks about what went down with my bots 😭😭#not that I’m complaining#it adds the suspense#anon <3

my professor gave me an 18/20 on my lab report for using “were” instead of “was” when the correct grammar is in fact “were” 😐
#like that’s the only thing he marked off so i can only assume it’s the only thing he found wrong with it#personal#the engineering chronicles#yes actually when you are talking abt two things you use ‘were.’ just because those two things are not one thing with an s at the end does#not mean two things together are not plural. hello#or possibly the issue he’s taking up with it is the prepositional phrase with a singular noun that’s before the ‘were.’ in which case#‘were’ is Still the correct choice here#sorry i am deeply annoyed. why are you as an engineering professor worried abt this and also wrong abt it

Awhile ago I made a post saying that my favourite dualistic Horus and Set epithet was rHwy, but I have since learned that there’s another spell in the Pyramid Texts that calls them snwy (which is just the number two in Egyptian), so I’ve changed my mind, that’s my favourite one. A dou so iconic that the Ancient Egyptians will literally just call them “the two” and expect you to figure it out.
The translations of this spell add another word usually to make this make sense, like “the two (assailants)” or “the two (contestants),” but that is not there in the Egyptian.
(The spell in question is Pyramid Text spell number 407/Pharaoh Teti’s spell number 284, if you want to have fun figuring out the huge mess that is Pyramid Text spell numbering in order to find it. The line in spell where this occurs is about the pharaoh deciding court cases, so that does make it pretty obvious which two gods they must be talking about, but this is still very funny.)
#egyptian mythology#egyptian gods#horus#set#seth#Heru#sutekh#the pyramid texts#If you’re wondering if this could be a mistake where they meant to write a second word and forgot: Egyptian doesn’t work like that actually#Egyptian nouns can be singular plural or dual#So in Egyptian you can just add a dual ending onto a noun to show there’s two of them the same way you add s to show plural in English#The Egyptian word for ‘lord’ is ‘nb’ and Horus and Set have another epithet ‘nbwy’#which means ‘the two lords’ because it has that dual ending#If the priests had wanted to say ‘the two something’ instead of ‘the two’ here they would have added -wy to a word instead of writing ‘two’#ava has thoughts#ancient egypt stuff#Do you like how I insist on putting all this context in whenever I make posts like this?#I can never just say something funny I noticed and then leave. I need to treat it like I’m writing a thesis.

Trying to figure out how drunk Russians were when they decided that три новых велосипеда is a reasonable declension and not a crime to humanity.
#the number is in Nominative the adjective in Genitive plural and the noun in Genitive singular#the feminine version IS DIFFERENT AS WELL#when the number is in Nominative the adjective is in Nominative plural and the noun is in Genitive singular.#WHY!#russian grammar is fucked up#uniposting

Thought too hard about how I name Tieflings and started considering the role of "common" in DND and how different real life languages might fit in that framework. Needless to say now I want to write an essay but alas. Its midnight.
#conventionally ive always considered common to be equivalant to english#but that really only works in the anglosphere#because like. even amongst humans living in one area languages differ#let alone different countries and continents#so common must change depending on where you are#but theres no real way to differentiate that beyond roleplay#anyway all this to say-#my tiefling naming scheme is singular nouns or adjectives#typically representing abstract conceots or bearing significant meaning#parents name their offspring in an attempt to instill qualities into them#hence: Dynasty#his mother named him in an attempt to ensure he brought the family#honor for many centuries to come#hence doomed by the narrative he was lmao#i definitely stole this from somewhere but i forgor where#its been 6 years#baldur's gate 3 ocs#DND rambling#dnd

my brother is the silliest most whimsical man i've ever met and i am gnashing my teeth at the world for trying to crush his spirit
#his current favourite phrases are ''oh my days'' and adding ''-ington'' to any noun or interjection (''littington'' as opposed to ''lit'')#but the rarer and more excited ''huzzah'' has also been known to make an appearance in his vocab#making him laugh is like. my singular purpose most days. i love him so much#and i know he finds me deeply uncool in some regards (tumblr user) and i'm fine with it bc that's my job as older sister#anyway.#personal

look. i know it would send students for a massive loop to have a plural 'in' preposition, but i really do love "es" in moyen français. just feels nice
#sophies ramblings#the preposition isnt plural itself but it's the 'in' that you put before plural nouns (as opposed to 'en' for singular nouns)

Small pet peeve of mine that shouldn't bother me as much as it does: charr players with adverbs in their warband name.
#Skye says stuff#granted some may be titles or stuff like that. totally fair and they are neat. but when it's obvious it irks me irrationally :')#also fair that not everyone researches lore accurate names nor knows english well enough. but I'm still gonna kick a small rock over this :#for the record: charr only use nouns and verbs and adjectives. technically all singular.#yes I know Aurelia uses plural but that comes with a lore explanation (thanks to a certain Tribune who wanted to fuck with bureaucracy)#ignore me airing out minor bs grievances like this. serious ones are taking up all the space :')#not aimed at anyone in particular! just me running into likely-newbies in-game and feeling irked by bs because of the horrors
