When you have a major, life-changing exam in another state coming up in 6 days and you're
too busy fooling around with languages on HTLAL.

When you join more language challenges than you realistically have time for.

Or you have an important paper due, upon which your future probably hangs by a tenuous thread, and yet you find yourself blissfully splashing around like a dolphin in a sea of language posts.

When this thought leads to further perilous food for procrastination: How do dolphins communicate? Do all those whistles, clicks, and squeaks have some form of grammar?

Now back to that paper...

And do you think all the dophins understand each other the same or are there dialects,
shared only by dolphins from a certain area?

Two stupid papers due, three exams drawing closer and I happily spend time on German 6wc
and Spanish SC. The procrastination is a well spread contagion.

Amen to that:)

I'd better not start with the dolphins, because my six days are quickly becoming five.

Actually I have seen a TV program that mentioned dialects among killer whales so presumably the dolphins also have dialects.

Monkeys too...see Schlenker et al. (2014): Monkey semantics: two ‘dialects’ of Campbell’s monkey alarm calls in the journal of Linguistics and Philosophy.

Blast! Those monkeys are running off with my paper... >.<
