Aye, a wily one, indeed! It's no easy task to convince oneself of something as srs bsns as randomizing one's avatars, surely.

I have no idea what's up with you guys and this up tack / down tack thing but yes, in our December summers we are usually snowed in. Right now we're actually in the middle of a white out and I can't even see the trees from the balcony.CaptainPea wrote:Ebly's kidding, of course.

Clearly.
By the way, up tacks and down tacks relate to phonetics and have use in transcribing the sounds of a language. Initially this post had me explaining how but then I realised anyone who's not into phonetics wouldn't give a crap. So yeah, that's the difference between a down tack and a T or a τ.

Re: Chat Thread 33
The whole "seasonal inversion" thing always make me feel kinda funny, like the whole "on the opposite side of the world it's nighttime thing" except stranger. Cause like woah.
I think I was using ⊤ to denote a different type of similar idea as an ⊥ because I like the ⊥ and making plays on an idea works because the ideas are accepted and it's sort of like if I keep acting like the up tack is a thing it will be a thing and honestly I think it's mostly working but I forget sometimes and there's no key for it.yehoshua wrote:What's with the whole down tack vs T thing?

Re: Chat Thread 33
Up tacks fill a very necessary role in indicating facetiousness or sarcasm⊥
(In reality, it's just one of those things that I think is funny and thus throw around everywhere.)

And I'm just sort of leaching of of Pea's cleverness/humor/bluh and throwing them around as well. Personally I like the irony mark but it's so much more conspicuous and not as humorous.CaptainTee wrote:Up tacks fill a very necessary role in indicating facetiousness or sarcasm⊥

Ellipse and ellipsis have their plurals spelled the same. It's madness!

Re: Chat Thread 33
To explain it in a really simplified way, phonology is the study of how sounds encode meaning in a language (for example, how 'big' and 'pig' mean completely different things, even though only one sound is slightly different). Phonetics is concerned with the sounds themselves and how they are actually produced, among other things.Rook wrote:Phonetics? What's that?
Easily confused, interrelated, but quite different.

That's interesting. Is, or rather can phonetics be associated with Physiological studies? I'm very interested in taking phycology when I go to college.

Well the anatomy of the mouth relates to the broad spectrum of linguistic subjects. I'm not sure if it directly relates to phonetics though.

Re: Chat Thread 33
Hmm, well guys I just saw an interesting video. It was about a thing called Al1's 9 grand challenge. A man on the internet known as Al1 hid 9000 pounds somewhere in the UK, and it is also the story of a man named Fortress on youtube. Fortress ended up solving the puzzle up to the end and puts up a final video, he was heading to a field on Weals where the money was supposed to be berried, but a message was hidden in the last clue, "I have been alone for so long you will find me noW." Two days later a man was found murdered in a field near the one Fortress was heading into, stabbed once, signs of a struggle, two sets of footprints. The corpse is still unknown, the money was never found. I don't know, it could have been Al1, it could have been Fortress, who when he found a clue had to use his knife, or maybe Al1 killed Fortress. Who knows.
