When you go to your target language's Wikipedia for language practice and find yourself reading about other languages. (The other day I found myself on the Japanese Wikipedia for Telugu alphabet. I don't even know how I got there.)

^ Woops! When I had originally read LazyLinguist's comment, I had assumed he was speaking to J. D Moncada. >_<
Anyway, here you go. Sadly, only 1 of 3 people thought that post added to the discussion. :( Edited by nway on 02 June 2011 at 7:28pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Maybe Gaga is a Language Nerd? Wouldn't you like to see that costume ? !
Speaking of appearances - You know you are a Language Nerd when you decide to cut your own hair because the money that would go to a hairdresser would be much better spent in a bookshop for even more language stuff. <sigh> It'll grow back, I guess . . . CAUTION: Language Nerdery may lead to dubious personal grooming decisions. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
