Extremely funny this topic. I´m laughing and I don´t know when can I stop.
My contribution: You are a language nerd when you discuss with a friend in your natie tongue and there´s a sentence differently understood by both of you and you think: "There wouldn´t have been this misunderstanding if we had spoken French". I post in my blog about this topic. You can read it (in Spanish)HERE 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

... in Spanish? Enough proof, anybody who in an Anglophone discussion gives a link to an explanation in Spanish and assumes that people can read it must be a qualified language nerd. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

That's Right, Iversen. I thought that Spanish lerners can practice their target language reading a post about "how to be a nerd language". The content is alost the same, so they can compare the texts, and whose are really nerd language can critizise end evaluate my translation 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I figure a lot of us on this forum, if not an outright majority, would be able to read that Spanish at some level. I certainly understood it pretty well. After all, "if you speak many languages, people will just assume you speak perfect Spanish anyway."

Well, I don't speak French to my wife, and I have no maid to whom I can ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen - but the bourgeoisie in Denmark once did it (or something very similar - maybe some of my fellow Danes can help me out on this one?). My wife and I do speak a strange mix of Danish sprinkled with English phrases now and then, however... perhaps that is a little bit nerdy, huh? :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

... I was genuinely disappointed to discover that my computer couldn't correctly display all the IPA characters and stayed up all night trying to make them appear. Edited by mick33 on 03 December 2009 at 12:54am 1 person has voted this message useful |
