Switching Fonts (2014-04-14 19:56:30) :
Erm. At the time you implemented that, I changed my preference to Serif. And it worked perfectly. But sometime in the last couple weeks the site has forgotten that I set this; it is back to the default sans-serif font.
Having just re-changed it, it is back to serif again. But something did happen to the setting. Hopefully it won't be forgotten again?

Ness's Travelogue (2014-04-13 08:22:27) :
Let's not forget places like Maggie's Nipples (Wyoming), Whorehouse Meadows (Oregon), Blue Balls (Arkansas), Imalone (Wisconsin), or Satans Kingdom (Vermont).
Of course the British are also very good at this; apart from certain obvious candidates *ehemllanfairpwllgwyngyllgwerndrobwllllantysiliogogogochehem* let us just note that, among others, places exist by the names of Lower Slaughter, Golden Balls, Lickey End, Happy Bottom, Crackpot (this is in Yorkshire; I suspect it is where Pthag...

Yaali: you guessed correctly for #5 (the first one), and for all of 7 - 12.
I admit, #6 is rather a stretch, and if nobody gets it I will have nobody to blame but myself.

And finally, to make a baker's dozen, there's one more... one which I myself can neither remember nor figure out the answer to. Feel free to have a go! (If you guess correctly I will probably be able to tell that it's correct.)

Leaving hell. Not looking forward to the Blues, but not going over them is another 3 hours drive time. And goes through Portland.

Information on Tibeto-Burman wanted (2014-04-10 22:38:33) :
From looking at the little of Sino-Tibetan: A Conspectus that Google Books would allow me to read I was able to work out that aspiration in many Tibeto-Burman languages operated in terms that plosives at the start of words, either just voiceless ones or both voiceless and voiced ones, were aspirated by default and were only deaspirated by many prefixes coming before them (but not all prefixes, e.g. m- and ʔǝ- in Tibetan still allowed aspiration, and r- and s- in Burmese also allowed aspiration)....

Information on Tibeto-Burman wanted (2014-04-11 19:32:58) :
Well I most likely have enough Sino-Tibetan grammars now, so what I am now interested on things that cover Sino-Tibetan in a broader fashion. I have one document that covers broader ST diachronic phonology and to a lesser extent morphology, but I want more broader information than I have.

Test thread! (2014-04-11 03:21:25) :
