Und natürlich #VivaLaQueerBar #HasiWirHabenEinenDungeonGekauft #FrlBernburgs #MagicalPets
Bei Spielen, die nicht für Oneshots angelegt sind, bevorzuge ich inzwischen Two-/Fewshots, weil da die Chance höher ist, wirklich ein Gefühl für das System zu bekommen.

CLIMB-TACK is a dialect word for "a cat that is overfond of investigating the contents of the larder-shelves" (English Dialect Dictionary, Vol. I. 1898).

#RPGaday2023 day 4:
Most recent game bought: #dialect: A game about language and how it dies.
As an MA in German and English with 4 semesters of linguistics, I just love this game so much.
It follows a tight-nit group you create.
You create a group-dialect, exacting such a tight bond with each other, because you have this secret lingo tied to specific shared memories.
And then the dialect dies. And it hurts.
The game is fantastic. Go check it out.

From the most important #bilingual situation in the Americas today: a compelling hypothesis about how decades of #Spanish-speaking immigrants have transformed the #English #language spoken in Miami into a #dialect or at least a #sociolect. #linguistics https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/26/us/miami-dialect-english-spanish.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Easily one of my favourite maps. Of course, useless for navigation, but nice to get happily lost in. From 'A Prospect of Lincolnshire' (1984) eds N Field & A White

Edited an article with the text "a HR meeting" and left the "a" intact. In Irish English the name of the letter H is aspirated: "haitch" rather than "aitch".
This is deeply controversial in some quarters, as I reported here: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/an-aitch-or-a-haitch-lets-ear-it/

Interesting piece on developing Irish Alexa via 'voice disentanglement', though some details seem off: I've seldom if ever heard anyone say 'bath' like 'bat' or 'bad', and the 'r' sound in Irish English is not 'overpronounced' – it's just pronounced, unlike in non-rhotic accents

If you lived in nineteenth-century #Somerset and #Devon you might call this plant Limperscrimp and its green hollow stems Wippul-squip; if you were in #Cumberland they were known as Cat-haw-blows. In #Warwickshire the seeds, which have a vaguely cardamom flavour, were called Devil’s oatmeal. You might know Heraclium sphondylium as Cow-parsnip or Hog-weed. #Dialect #Local #Names #WildFlowers #Flora #Foraging

This is fantastic, a 1976 documentary about the Northumbrian Dialect, featuring Cheviot hill shepherds
