YKYALNW... You start watching Stargate SG1 again and the first time the title comes up in your head you automatically pronounce it Swedish style because they use their symbol for Earth as the 'A'... You read it STARGĂ…TE instead...

...And everytime you watch it now, you can't help but chuckle at yourself :o)

I love learning languages!!! :o)

Linking a photo won't work for some reason but if you Google it, you should be able to see what I mean... x

You know you're a language nerd when you have to correct a mistake someone made.
Even during a wedding speech, which I did. Mind you though, I was only 12 at that time and not that good with social interaction.

You know you're a language nerd when your parents are typing a letter and they ask you to check the spelling. :P


This thread is so humongously big, that I'm not sure whether this has already been mentioned or not.

You know you're a language nerd when you're disappointed that none of your fellow nerds
have mentioned the fact that the subjunctive is a mood, and therefore contains a number
of tenses :]

...when getting a "like" on Facebook is 100 times more exciting when it's for something you wrote in a foreign language you don't speak very well.

When getting a "useful" vote here is infinitely more exciting then any vote you may get any where else, or any other "like", for that matter.

...when you tell your friend that you want to show her something exciting and she's immediately surprised when she finds out that it's not at all language-related.
