When your idea of small talk is mentioning random facts about languages and you are
surprised when people look at you funny. Edited by Tally on 18 July 2010 at 10:33pm 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Guilty. And whenever I'm asked by a friend to tell them "something interesting", it always pertains to languages. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I feel like I have to share this...
I was at a two story Borders bookstore today, it was extremely huge, and I was (of course) looking for the language section, just to see what they had. I walked through the whole store TWICE and couldn't find it. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. It wasn't even near the travel section (where it is in the Borders near me). I could have asked an employee but by the time that hit me (dunno why I didn't think of it earlier) I had to go. ...I feel like I have to return to that store and find the language section. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When a friend mentions "IPA" in a status update on Facebook and you get excited because you think "Maybe I finally found someone to speak with about languages!" And then realize he's talking about beer. =[
Also, when another friend mentions "Computational Linguistics" and you wonder why you haven't spoken to him more. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

...when you write all your Facebook statuses in Finnish and your friends tell you to stop.

When the first thing you do when you return from holiday is flop on the sofa, kick off your weary sand-filled shoes, and log on to the forum to check through several hundred email notifications. Edited by Teango on 19 July 2010 at 1:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh yes, I could feel the thrill in your story. Was it in Buenos Aires? That city's
great for rare old books!
