| Question | — |
Why "me too" and not "I too"? I've been studying German lately, and came across something that sparked my curiosity: The way to say "me too" in German is "ich auch" - that is, "I too". A shallow glance at other Germanic languages gives me the impression that this formation is common in those. (Dutch: "Ik ook", Swedish: "Jag också... (more) |

More generally, the pattern seems to be `*kw-` (interrogative), `*k-` (proximal, this), and `*s-`/`*t-` (medial, that, animate and inanimate respectively) e.g

I see, that makes sense. I was somewhat under the impression that since all of the forms that I found were basically unchanged in spelling except for the initials, that this would be the case for the others as well, though I see now that my impression was flawed.
As it is, it does seem to be the c... (more) |

Very interesting - of course, I was mainly referring to stems rather than derived forms. Though am I right in thinking that it would also be "whom" "him" "them"?
On that matter, it's also interesting to me that "he" is actually a third-person pronoun in modern English, rather than something like '... (more) |

Where, here, and there: What is the origin, and can it be generalized? I recently stumbled upon this wikipedia page and it got me thinking. Take a look at the following table (terms are lifted from the Wikipedia page) | W (interrogative) | H (proximal) | T (medial) | |-------------------|--------------|------------| | what | ? | that |...

A: Can I ask for resources? There isn't an established procedure, but I personally would ask either on Meta for visibility (asking for the creation of a post seems Meta-y) and/or create the resource post itself, even if empty. (more) |

A: Reactions are here! Suggestions? This has been implemented [Citation needed] As a more academically focused site, it might be useful to mark answers as lacking sufficient citations to back the answer up authoritatively. This gives a way for users to express skepticisms without the baggage of downvotes, which would imply an... (more) |

Interesting idea; this would certainly lend some more nuance than just a simple up or downvote. (more) |

| Question | — |
Policy Poll: "Did you try Googling"? A certain question has twice now been hit by the dreaded "You can find this information by Google" I've noticed this has occurred quite frequently, especially link-only answers which I delete as a "this should be a comment" policy. I am leaning towards deleting pure copy paste answers along th... (more) |
