@nprofile…h6sh åh nej! (Vi var faktisk lige blevet advaret af den unge pige i isboden om at det nok var klogest at blive under deres parasoller - men vi skulle skynde os videre og troede vi kunne undgå dem. Det kunne vi ikke - det tog to sekunder før den første måge satte sig på min kollegas hoved og tog en bid af hendes is!)

@nprofile…h6sh Der var vældig fint, ja! Smuk by. Eneste ting der trak ned, var mågerne der fløj ned i tog bidder af vores is 🍦

Jeg er alt for træt efter en kort arbejdsrejse til Helsinki mandag-onsdag. Enten er jeg ved at være gammel, eller også er jeg bare påvirket af hormoner fordi overgangsalder (dvs. gammel).
Godt at #fortidsTanya havde planlagt hjemmearbejdsdag i dag, så frokostpausen kan bruges på langs. (Ikke så godt at hun har aftalt sociale ting ALLE tre dage i pinsen - men #nutidsTanya minder sig selv om at gode sociale relationer er sundt for sjælen).

Jeg er taget til Malmö for at holde oplæg om retslingvistik for svensk politi. Klog af skade har jeg valgt et tidligt tog, men det kom til min forbløffelse til tiden, så nu er jeg gået i ly for regnen i St. Jakobs Stenugnsbageri med en croissant og en artikel om hadtale (yes, such is my work!).

@nprofile…2uaj thank you!! This idea has annoyed me no end. I do forensic linguistic authorship analyses, and em dashes are well-known to us as one of many punctuation marks that real people use (but to varying degrees, and some, of course, not at all). Also, I like em dashes and won’t stop using them.

@nprofile…2uaj did you know that Ted Kaczinsky, the UNA bomber, adhered to the spelling principles of the Chicago Tribune? This was part of the many features that forensic linguist and dialectologist Roger Shuy identified when he was asked by the FBI to do a linguistic-demographic profile of the UNA bomber manifesto and letters.
Here is a prepub version of one of Shuy’s write-ups of the case: http://www.rogershuy.com/pdf/Linguistic_Profiling.pdf

@nprofile…rv82 Det kommer ikke til at ske med den slags her. Sociale medier og nyhedsmedier er for mig fritid og foregår på telefonen. Computeren er til arbejde.

Jeg har før våndet mig over DR-appens åndssvage brug af markeringer med ordforklaringer som kommer frem når man klikker på det fremhævede ord. Her går det helt galt pga. en slåfejl:

@nprofile…wuyc @nprofile…g0ag it is an incredibly hard balance to strike. Trump is infamously volatile so how do we best prevent him from invading us? Much lies in the language used, as we have seen time and again with him.
We are obviously highly frustrated by the whole situation in Denmark, and many of us also believe we should cooperate less with the US, but for now, at least, our government is seeking to keep their frenemy close.

@nprofile…qun5 love, love, love “I shall wear my spelling mistakes and my garbled syntax with pride”! 🥰
BTW, this is what university teachers who grade papers in English are telling me now: when they come across a paper with spelling mistakes they think “bless your heart, you did this yourself ♥️”

@nprofile…kkxq thank you, I really appreciate that break-down of the weird tariff calculation, I just could not understand what it was all about.
I still don’t understand-understand but that’s because it is totally illogical and seems to have just been randomly pulled out of someone’s ass (or—as some argue—out of an LLM, which amounts to the same), not because of your explanation, which is pure gold 🙏

Vi laver om herhjemme så jeg kan få et ordentligt hjemmekontor. I den proces rydder vi også ud i bogsamlingen. Er der mon nogen her der kunne være glade for en eller flere af disse som handler om eller er henvendt til børn med angst plus en til unge autister? (Titler i Alt Text).

@nprofile…pwgm This is insane, she had all her paperwork in order and a return ticket - and they are still keeping her there, apparently without explanation? What would be the reason for detaining a German tourist? I had already decided not to go to America again after Trump; this just confirms my fears.

Dansklæreren sætter en fed rød streg her:
Det er ikke bare sløset journalistik fra DR’s side - det er vildledning. Når man skriver “sin effektivisering”, præsupponerer man at det faktisk *er* en effektivisering der er tale om. Men det er det jo ikke; tværtimod ødelægger Trump og Musk med vilje statsapparatet indefra.
Der er absolut ingen grund til at DR skal føje Trump på den måde. Mere opmærksomhed på sprogbrugen, tak!

@npub1lzz…jhl3 [just want to quietly point out that the documentary film crew mentioned by Jay Kuo is *not* from the Netherlands but from Denmark—I know it is unimportant to many but not to us Danes 😊]

@npub1hpc…hjn3 You clearly had it coming, then.
