#Standardisation

[mali-umkin]

Irish, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic speakers, I need your help! 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For a piece of academic writing I am working on right now, I was wondering if in the context of those three languages, you have positive or negative examples of:

1) The presence of non-standard dialects digitally or in the media (any content creator you know, any regular speakers on the radio that actively uses a non-standard dialect, or on the contrary, you only encounter standard Irish/Welsh/Gaelic. If you have any example of non-standard writing too, for example in the printed press, I am all ears)

2) Do you speak and/or write a non-standard dialect and have been looked down upon for it by other speakers? If yes what dialect and in what context

3) What do you think about purification practices in which loan-words from English are replaced by new words? Which words do you use? If you study the language formally, which are taught to you?

Thank you, and please reblog!

Fashion

Another rant. I have on previous occasions written about my disdain for fashion. Specifically about its damage to the environment. If you’ve read any of my previous posts on the subject, you know that fashion emits more greenhouse gas than the airline industry. Yes the airline industry is pilloried more than the fashion industry for its greenhouse gas emissions. I cant help wonder if purchasing…

Standardisation - a way to speed up manufacturing and building

In ancient Rome buildings were originally covered by similar sized, but slightly differently shaped stone. This was called opus incertum and required thorough training and experience for having a nice to look at end result.

Standardisation, first in the size of stone (opus reticulatum) later in the size of bricks (opus latericium), added more complexity for creating the materials, but the building process itself became much quicker and of a more even quality. New workers were easier to train and even experienced workers delivered constant quality, regardless of them having a bad day or not.

Data Governance in a Big Data world

Data Governance in a Big Data world - 5 principles

By Theresa Kushner Let’s face it – we can’t escape Big Data! We can ignore it. We can tell our management that we have it under control. We can even try to make it smaller. But the fact remains – Big Data is here to stay and getting bigger every day. In this environment as data governance managers, we have to find ways to manage unstructured Big Data as well as we manage structured “little”…

Comm for @starly-amazing featuring a scene from their fic A Star From the Multiverse

Siffrin wakes up in the field South of Dormont...after beating the King. After WINNING. After killing him with their own hands! He wakes up in the field when he should be celebrating their victory with his friends atop the house! They won! So WHY!? They drag themself through the day and to the Favor Tree in the dead of night. He calls out—wishes—for help and the Universe listens... by dropping an entirely alien creature with fangs and feathers and talons right at his feet.

Today marks a momentous occasion for the sfth fandom. Why?

WE FINALLY HAVE CANON AO3 RELATIONSHIP TAGS!!

There's still a lot of work that needs to be done (non-canon tags don't redirect to the canon tags, there still aren't that many canon relationship tags, most tags are still sorted under the Beetroots & Murder fandom, etc.) but this is still a big milestone!

This also means that formatting tags is so much more important, and I might make another post detailing the ao3 tagging conventions (I mentioned some of it in my sfth ao3 tagging guide but it can't hurt to go more into detail :])

if iron is repellent to fairies doesn’t that mean that anemics have a higher chance of communicating with them safely? modern fantasy short story where a housewife accidentally forgets to take her daily iron supplements and, upon collapsing due to fatigue, is immediately transported to the fey otherworld

I think my ideal fandom experience is just to log back in every six months, post about the most niche ships I can imagine and then leave again.

With that being said: The world's most hopeless cop falls for two people who cannot keep a job or avoid being murder suspects. I think they would have fun together. I think their relationship would be utterly incomprehensible to anyone else. I think Maggey and Larry literally cannot go anywhere together without finding a body. Good times.

re: adding my pronouns cc to my pinned. i just want it to be known and i think its funny that i would genuinely infinitely prefer someone to ask me how my voices are doing than ask me how my 'headmates' are doing

people with epilepsy: would you be willing to tell me what your preferred way of tagging for flashing lights is? like, 'cw flashing' or just, 'flashing lights' or something? because i'm not sure and i'm also not entirely sure how dangerous flashing lights through a screen can be, so don't want to risk getting it wrong

ghost of shackleton bailey telling me the solution to ebooks and print books having different page numbers is to make a concordance and then to also come up with my own worse page numbering system that has to be checked against the concordance for anyone to ever actually find anything
