Wait A Minute If Elves Take A Hundred Years To Grow Up That Has Some Weird Implications.

It gets even funnier when you realize Koko used broken sign language, which the people around her made note of because they wanted to fit the narrative that other primates can keep up with out complex language systems.

Put koko and a human that signs in the same room to have a conversation, and no conversation will happen.

Sorry to break the illusion of Koko having the frontal lobe compacity of a human. She's a gorilla, not a human; the language part of the brain (frontal lobe) in her brain isn't as gigantic as a human's. The computer just can't support that massive and complex of a program that is human sign language. At least not in a direct "import, immediate output" kind of way that we recognize as a cohesive form of communication.

Ceaser was pronounced kay-sir, not see-zer. The letter C was pronounced like a K, not an S, and neither was S said like Z.

Kay-s'r not Seezer.

The j was also pronounced like an I or Y

Yul-ee-os kay-sir or kie-sir, not jul-ee-us see-z'r.

In American idiot by Green Day, is it:

"Everything dementedly okay" or "Nothing's meant to be okay", or is it "everything's not meant to be okay?" Because I've always heard the former until someone did a cover, and they said the latter.

They're equally fucked up and fitting.

It's funny that we see craftsmen do their thing, but almost never see them slave away at farming resources. We never see the lone young blacksmith devote weeks to make their charcoal or making everything for corner of the craft that they want to explore, but have nothing to do it.

There's only two shows that do that, but one covers all of science, and the other is an average Joe that makes crude tools rather than devoting countless hours to refine each stage of their adventure.

I'm just tired of people being ugly to each other.

Make it stop. For everyone's sakes.

Headcanon: goblin is a homophone heavy language; you can learn a quarter or so of it and b able to understand the rest.

This sounds amazing, but it also has the Grammer of a drunk man: n's and l's are dropped, double letters are dropped, and many noises are terribly recorded.

A number of words are borrowed words from other languages as well, which makes it more complicated.

Example: "behl e banum" has several possibilities:

Either "that large animal is over there" or "that large animal is constipated," or "nose in dirt, poo is good," and only those fluent in the language understand the context and how to respond without sounding like an idiot.

"Gway ot ma gassa" gets even messier; "ma gassa" and "magassa" are two completely different things, and "ot" and "öt" can lead to disaster if swapped around.

This is why it sounds like noise; because it's several layers of context and percise pronunciation.

They seem like canon fodder, but in groups, word spreads fast, and what's implied is understood.

He’s so cool

Wizard: *casts fireball, exploding a small room of enemies* And I'm out of spells

Barbarian: i can cast magic, too, Ya know

Wiz: really?

Bar: yeah, watch this. Separate! *slits an enemy in half with their ax* it's a cantrip touch spell.

Wiz: but -

Bar: *points to ax* spell focus. Ooh, and it's an occasional ranged, too. *throws ax 10 feet, nailing another enemy in the head* see?

Wiz: have you been reading my books?

Bar: No, just looking at the pictures. You need more pictures in them.
