There are several ways to class your day. It might have been hard at work, you might be going to the gym in a minute. But knowing new swearwords in another language that you're exchanging with your friend, that's raising the bar of a good day even higher #languagelearning #languages #LanguageNerd :blobcataww:

Writing a short speech to give before my project tomorrow in Inuttitut on my phone in a Tim's while I wait to be picked up after a doctor's appointment. Little bit shocked that I can do that with the language at this point. And!! I made a joke in my oral exam yesterday.

Spotted today: "…used a different tact in February."

The word "tact" was used incorrectly. The term "tack" is what the author (or editor) should have chosen.

To "change tack" has nautical origins, meaning adjusting sails with ropes called "tacks" in order to change direction. A sailing ship can "tack" into the wind, zig-zagging back and forth, using its sails as an airfoil.

The word "tact" is used to refer to diplomacy, politeness, or discretion, not a direction. There is only tact, not different tacts.
