Just learned that French "os" (bone) is pronounced "os" in the singular and "o" in the plural and I don't know whether to love it or hate it

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Eu to no Goodreads e no StoryGraph 😆. To no Goodreads meio por inércia e porque é o mais usado, mas eu gosto que o StoryGraph tem umas resenhas mais visuais, CWs e uns gráficos legais

In Brazil, "convosco" and the second person plural in general is mostly found in Christian prayers nowadays (aside from formal terms like "Vossa Excelência")

In Spanish, “for you” is ‘para ti’, but “with you” isn’t ‘con ti’: it’s ‘contigo’ instead.

What’s this ‘-go’ doing there?

It’s a remnant of the same Latin word that gave us ‘con’.

So etymologically, ‘contigo’ contains this word twice: “with you-with”.

QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood

[photo of a white tree, surrounded by green ones] Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare. jumpingjacktrash the reason it's rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can't get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn't have any green in its leaves, it's getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant's photosynthesis. albino plants are basically vampires. heywetotheotherworld For a long time, scientists thought they were parasites, and couldn't figure out why the bigger plants didn't release chemicals to kill them. Turns out, the lil' ghost redwoods benefit their hosts by filtering toxins and acting as a sort of backup immune system. They're vampires, and they're commensal, symbiotic mutualists! carnivalseb this is super cool! I had no idea monticellomarshmallow This is among the coolest things I’ve ever seen!

Tap for the whole thing. It’s worth it, we promise

Latin had six noun cases, but in all Romance languages except Romanian, nouns and adjectives only have one singular form and one plural form left. What happened?

This extra large infographic tells you how the Latin case system collapsed – and why it's the accusative case that lives on in Romance.
