Okay I fixed my other problem with Elan but this programme is on thin fucken ice

Anyway it’s actually hilarious to do discourse analysis on Sid’s interview register/speech style according to speech act theory since his utterances are a wonderful example of non-performative acts because they add net zero information (he literally repeated the interviewer’s own words in an earlier utterance and he does it with such monotonous flair that nobody notices, like he says so much without saying anything at all and I love him about it your honour)

#thank you Sidney Crosby for tethering me to my sanity #anyway I still don't like Elan #It will be easier when I'm using my own recordings because then I will have control over the formatting BUT UNTIL THAT DAY #this programme will be a thorn in my side #discourse analysis #linguistics #grad school shenanigans

#thank you Pens hockey and Sidney Crosby for making today better #today was rough and awful but I saw the team’s motivation and their ability to come back after a 4-goal deficit #and then you scored off an assist from Geno and the game was won #that’s a lesson in perserverence I so desperately needed today #that no matter how far backwards it seems you’ve fallen it is possible to come back from that #even if it takes considerable effort. Sometimes the end result is worth it #fight for a chance to move on #thank you sidney crosby for tethering me to my sanity
