This one got the "nerd-meter" all the way to the red!!!


When "Elvish" changes from a "ridiculous add-on to a novel" into a "beautiful language to your list"

The evolution of this thought is to do the same with Klingon, but I'm still a couple

EDIT: Please refrain from multiple postings. Thanks

When you admit you're the one who gave Iversen his 2000th vote


And, no doubt, that vote was well deserved, but I suspect that Iversen just might not be a Language Nerd after all, but instead a Language Ninja!

And you are a Language Nerd if you think this is a very fine thing to be!

When you hear the term "Gothic" and the first thing that comes to your mind is the old Germanic language.

...and not the subculture of teenagers with dark makeup and trench coats.
