@ljwrites Heck yeah!
James Milroy: "The [standardized language] ideology requires us to accept that language (or a language) is not the possession of the native speakers."
Me: It gave me such a rush to try to imagine what it would be like to believe that. Once I thought about it, it really was weird that I believed my own language existed more properly or authoritatively in books or classes than in my own head.

I started using StreetComplete after @aperezdc mentioned it. You can help fill in OpenStreetMap data by answering simple questions about your surroundings. It’s a fun thing to do while you’re waiting for a bus or you’re in the queue for a bubble tea. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.westnordost.streetcomplete
Settler colonialism
The Atlantic article about settler colonialism in the board game hobby is good.

Oui avec les commerces locaux, les équipements publics, les plaines de jeux et parcs du quartier.
I vastly agree with this from @Edent about names and special characters.
We can throw Welsh names into the misspellings required – Siôn, Siân, Glyndŵr, to name a few.

@liberachat Just out of curiosity, where does the “libera” in libera.chat come from? Italian? Maybe Esperanto?

I bought a ticket for CluedUpp after seeing an ad on Instagram. It is a virtual murder mystery where you have to walk around the city with an app and try to find clues. I think it’s going to be like Pokémon Go.
Anyway, it is super weird that they are organising an event in Lyon, but the ad and the web page and all correspondance is in English. They seem to have no acknowledgement at all that English is a foreign language here. I wonder if that is even legal with France’s language laws?

Dans cette vidéo il y a un francophone qui essaie de se faire comprendre en parlant français à des gens qui parlent espagnole, portugais et italien. C’est drôle de voir comment le français est un extra-terrestre entre les langues latines. Ils ont beaucoup de mal à comprendre le français, mais quand ils parlent entre eux avec leurs langues ils se comprennent facilement. Et pourtant c’est presque les mêmes mots, c’est juste la prononciation française qui est bizarre. 🇨🇵 🙃 https://youtu.be/sqxgY6c6mqs
