When you try to read people's tattoos unnoticed...

... and then have to refrain from pointing out spelling errors.


P.S.: I don't know about other countries, but here it's fashionable to get text tattoos in exotic scripts. The least you would expect is for people to spend a bit of time checking to see whether what they're so indelibly printing on themselves is error-free. In my experience, this seems not to be a concern. Go figure!

When you log into HTLAL in the morning and become extremely disappointed when you see that there have only been postings in three threads during the last 12 hours. Mesdames et Messieurs, where are you?

There's a problem with the DNS name resolution. Someone showed a workaround in the Language Den on Google groups. But few people will see that, so it will be pretty empty until the real problem gets fixed. How the heck have you gotten in?

When HTLAL is down and you google-search for it and read discussions about HTLAL on other forums.

When HTLAL is down and you follow another language nerd's link to a discussion about HTLAL on another forum, and actually read most of it.

When HTLAL is down and the first thing you do before you have had your first coffee of the day is go on Twitter to find out what's up and then modify your hosts table on your computer (something you didn't even know you had when you went to sleep) so you can still log onto the site.

When HTLAL is down and you know it's a DNS problem. Wait, that just makes me a nerd.

When HTLAL is down and you remember the helpful planning posts for the "inevitable crash" and how we would all meet up on the wiki to regroup.

And you come back and find your friends have been here for days without missing a beat.

And your own language studies have been more productive, since you didn't have this distraction/attraction.
