Perhaps you know that if supersymmetry is (partially) broken, then you get counterparts to ordinary particles like gluinos and Higgsinos

What you may not know is that if supersymmetry is completely, totally, utterly broken, this should be demonstrated by a particle known as the smithereeno

I bet she is! For one thing, as someone who has done voice training and is speaking to a large audience, I have to imagine she talks much more deliberately than most speakers, which makes this all the more surprising!

(also very funny you immediately figured out whom this was about haha)

But what's amazing is there's no contrition, no acknowledgement that she's just flagrantly contradicting herself

She just goes on like nothing happened

Isn't the full Grimm chain p>f? Pferd never made it all the way to Ferd but instead got stuck with a sound in-between

With regards to Wasser, however, I'm realising I was confused because that's not actually a case of Grimm's law. It was just curious to me German got an s while Dutch/English kept t

Coincidentally a question occurred to me today about Grimm's Law talking about Pflaumen

Some words like Pferd get stuck in the chain. More generally there's language dependence (Wasser vs water). What is the reason for this? What determines which words will complete the full change and which won't?

Despite its looks, the English word ‘heart’ is etymologically related to ‘cardio’, ‘cordial’, ‘to record’, ‘courage’, and even Spanish ‘corazón’.

Through Germanic, Greek, and Latin, these words all derive from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning “heart”.

I would once again very much like to stop referencing 1984 but will these people please stop saying fully, explicitly, non-negotiably contradictory things from one sentence to the next without blushing?

What's very common in American English is t-dropping before consonants (www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2012-0...)

But what's much less common in American English, I believe, is intervocalic t-dropping, your classic "bo'le o' wa'er". This is what I found unusual

A thing that always gets me is the sheer number of people who fail to grasp a movie so unsubtle and overt as The Dictator

They're always like "wow! This movie predicted the future!!" No you asshole! It was describing contemporary politics! Please show one ounce of media literacy!
