Just a little language titbit for any of my linguistically inclined flist (and jazzymegster I'm primarily thinking of you here). The link is to the Language Log and has refs to chinese language/pinyin and inappropriate translations. The frequent bemusing use of the word "fuck" by no means brought any of my flist to mind. Heh.

I get the Language Log on my flist now, and boy, does it make me feel inadequate/confused/wildly interested/frustrated.
