I think it is really cool how language can be viewed in certain ways that lets us try and trace back from whence it came. it is treated in very much the same way as a family tree. and beyond that, we can use it to see where a certain group may have migrated, based upon which words they have picked up.

the video about tenses was interesting. It quickly got really complicated, but I feel like french is much more specific about it. we are vague and use a lot of words to describe a specific tense, while french has different endings for all of the different tenses.

I like how much work has gone into creating fictional languages. I particularly like how Tolkien elvish split off into various tribes and how the language changed and evolved from there.

I love the way that they chose to explain semicolons; they did it in a cool video game esque fashion.


here is a link to the language, grammar, and punctuation videos

I decided that engineering would not be a good fit due to this, for I would be forced to work a lot by myself and wouldn't get the human interaction that I need. I took a psych class in high school an

A Charley Tells a Tale  A Barrel of Monkeys Link This story can now be view in my portfolio here .   There was once a Charley who needed to go out and buy milk for the apartment. He went up to his roommate Jacob and collected some of the money that he was owed. With money now in hand, he was off to get the milk. Charley got home after going out and Jacob asked Charley where the milk was. Charley proceeded to tell Jacob a fantastical story of what went on after he had left to go buy milk. “So, I left the apartment, and as I was walking by the balcony, I noticed some money in the grass below. I thought how serendipitous, I can go get that money and buy more than just milk. I rushed downstairs as fast as I could in order to quickly seize the money. As I got closer, I realized that it was a twenty-dollar bill. That is enough to buy us a weeks’ worth of groceries!” This is when Jacob abruptly asked why I didn’t have any groceries then. Charley replied that he was getti
