watched a video by a linguist on the internet who i respect at least a bit about a "new nerd dialect" that's forming and now i'm pissed off because he's talking about normal shit that i say

@monorail these are very normal words/phrases, idk what he’s talking about

Follow

@cam @monorail we are all weirdos with university degrees who use mastodon so i don't trust our opinions on what is normal

@monorail @wallhackio yeah you’re right I think I only started saying shit like nontrivial in grad school (not intentionally, just absorbed through osmosis)

@cam @monorail @wallhackio Well, I was raised by computer programmers, I suppose this affects how I talk...

@monorail @cam you are not a university degree haver? or not a mastodon user? or not normal?
