testy terrapin 🐢I embrace language change, but I'm real real interested to see if "may I help who's next" becomes a productive sentence structure, or calcifies instead, considering how strongly ungrammatical I find it.<a href="https://petrous.vislae.town/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://petrous.vislae.town/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a href="https://petrous.vislae.town/tags/idiolect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idiolect</a>

Talen LeeI didn't know there was an <a href="https://kind.social/tags/idiolect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idiolect</a> hashtag that was looking for people to pay attention to it. This is where I learned the idea of an <a href="https://kind.social/tags/idiolect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idiolect</a>, the notion of an individual specific dialectical form: From a language coach talking about the work involved in impersonating a *person* well, including getting their language right.<a href="https://youtu.be/_6ohUUzh9kk?si=bFJTyWPgnqZAtagB" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/_6ohUUzh9kk?si=bFJTyWPgnqZAtagB</a>

серафими многоꙮчитїиShoutOps (n) - everything is achieved by people shouting, escalating, and making a fuss until someone does a rush job.

серафими многоꙮчитїиhuman on main (n) — when someone you follow for technical or informative content posts about how their dishwasher is broken, or they have an anniversary or a hot date, or that they're Having a Day.Horny on main is a subset of this, but the best thing about less "professional" platforms is actually getting to see and be the human being and not just some idealised tech poster, activist, joke poster, or artist, so I prefer to frame it positively.<a href="https://octodon.social/tags/idiolect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idiolect</a>

серафими многоꙮчитїиI've been trying to seed the <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/idiolect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idiolect</a> hashtag for a wee while now. Your idiolect is the particular way you speak. If it's spread to the family it's a <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/familect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#familect</a> .I'm curious: what words are in your <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/idiolect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idiolect</a> ? Bits of random ancestral languages that still persist? Jokes that turned into the new name? Onomatopoeia for a thing you never quite got a name for?:boost_request:

Dasha DayterCame across this chapter on by Tim Grant - I loved the sophisticated theoretical discussion about the idea of idiolect and cognitive & stylistic frameworks!

BobDevneyAs you may know, your idiolect is your individual speech pattern / choice of words. It particularly includes any unusual or unique words or phrases you favor.Today, from Bob's Idiolect:Spongebob, verb: In lieu of a nice long shower, to perform, while standing up, a fast wash 'n' dry of one's sweatier bits. "We can leave in 10 minutes — just let me spongebob a bit."<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Words" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Words</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Language</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Idiolect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Idiolect</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TicsAndQuirks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TicsAndQuirks</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TooMuchInformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TooMuchInformation</a>
