#theyd get very emotional about someone engaging in their culture And youd fix their spelling

[the-clay-quarters]

the real way for a devil to win their heart/soul is a goddamn dictionary

Language thoughts always end up reminding me that Catalan doesn't get a standardized spelling rulebook* until 1913

Vincent's first language is Catalan, Spanish second, academic Latin, various neighbouring languages from traveling, and now daily use English. Their spelling must be fucking awful good lord. Poor lad is trying to piece together English spelling from spoken word with a primarily romance language background. They are Not having a good time.

*Not a dictionary! It was mostly grammar afaik. The dictionary wasn't published until 1931
