I should add, no it's humans. Mixtec has constructs in it that would make your head spin. Like what they classify as "round things" is incomprehensible. Laundry detergent is round. AND THEY ALL HAVE PRONOUNS. So you have to know what's what. Also the language has way more verbs than nouns, such that you can't tell what kind of bag someone has except by describing how they're carrying it.

Also they don't have a word for smile.


Humans are ridiculous.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
