if this doesn't lead to you learning the language those books are written into, you're not nerd enough ;)

Your manager is installing new software on your work PC and he asks you which language you'd like it in.

Hmm...you mean like learning Anicient Egyptian through French Assimil, or perhaps a jot of Chukchi through Russian and Japanese - yep, I think I can relate. ;)

When you let language-related events plan your holidays.
When you go to Polyglot Gathering Berlin (which you wouldn't have heard a lot about outside HTLAL).
When you are at PG Berlin, recognize people from the forum and feel like you already know them in person.
When people recognize you from the forum!

Bonus:
When you've talked so much about the Irish language that people from your hometown decide going to a village in Ireland just to learn Irish.
