Why, oh, why???

Why is abbreviated such a long word?
Why does monosyllabic have five syllables?
Why is brassiere singular and panties plural?
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?
Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?
Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
Why are they called apartments, when they're all stuck together?
Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?
Why do they call it a building? It looks like they're finished. Why isn't it a built?
Why is it when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
If price and worth mean the same thing, why priceless and worthless are opposites?
Is there another word for synonym?
Is it possible to be totally partial?

Na'vi

Dear followers,

Check this out, this is just too weird to be true, but it is...


May The Linguistics Be With You!!!

We Know It's True

How many linguists does it take to change a light bulb?
One, but he/she (politically correct) must consult the Oxford English Dictionary.

How many translators does it take to change a light bulb?
One, but he/she must first find out from which language this joke is translated.

How many literature people (if you have a different term for them, please say:))) does it take to change a light bulb?
Depends on what the writer wanted to say with that.

How many teachers does it take to change a light bulb?
One, but he/she must first check its knowledge about changing light bulbs.

Go, Harvest, Now!!!

EPP...I mean OPP

Dear all,

Our secret informer, let's call her Berar M. to keep her anonymity, shared something with us...
Apparently, certain compilation of papers which are in fact chapters from the holy books written by St. Bugarski, St. Djordjevic, St. Ivir and St. Newmark, can be found in a far-away copying shack "Atrium"...Retrieve them for your own sake...

You know the procedure...

Vampires And Boogeymen

Hey y'all,

Remember what Randy preached about this very cool, old dude who wrote some cool, weird book about us, cool, crazy people???...Well...Moi, Your devoted High Emissary hired an archaeologist or two and dug up this holy book, peculiarly in a zipped form...How did that happen??? Beats me...
Anyway, click bellow to enter the world of mythology and somewhat different religion than ours...

Don't Let The Bed-Bugs Bite and May The Boogies Be Without You:))))!!!

Could It Be????

Dear minions,

It finally happened...Your High Emissary received a gift from above...mortals called it The Internet, but I like to refer to it as The Communication Channel...or better - The Binding Thing...or simply  - The Force:)))
This, of course, means that now, dear martyrs, I am going to publish stuff a lot, lot, lot more...

Be prepareeeeed!!!!!

May The Linguistics Be With You!!!
