Question | — |
"Us neither" - Is it valid? Recently, I read the phrase "Us neither", and for some reason it irked me. I don't know why though, since I can't immediately say what exactly is wrong with it. Logically, "Me neither" and "Neither have I" are equivalent, so why would "Us neither" not be similar to "Neither have we"? No matter how I ... (more) |

@JirkaHanika I didn't get your mention (probably since there was a comma at the end of it). Personally, I think putting it in the main Q&A is fine for now (and we get more visibility). If it's popular, we can always move it. (more) |

@fedorqui I can't get in contact with Hanika, so I'm going to just give the go-ahead myself. Feel free to do it when you want to (more) |

Looks fun - if the other mod (Hanika) is good with it too, and we get some more interest, feel free to post a first challenge in Q&A (we can always create the category later if it gets popular) (more) |

An interesting concept. Could you link some of those posts so we can get a better picture of what it's about? (more) |

Question | — |
Wiki posts are here; do we want to use them? We now have a "Wiki" post type Essentially, wiki posts are articles, but with a lower bar for editing; > Unlike with other post types, anybody with the Participate Everywhere privilege can edit the post directly, rather than having to go through suggested edits. My question to the community... (more) |

@curiousdannii English doesn't have an *inflection* for the future tense, but it can definitely express the future (using the auxiliary verb 'will'). If you read the question, you would see that that is what the asker is asking about - why not use the 'will' construction? (more) |

Pinned this so that more people will see it; we still haven't come to a consensus yet (more) |

Taken even another way, "If you'll be around tomorrow" sounds like "If you plan to be around tomorrow" while "If you are around tomorrow" sounds like "If you happen to be around tomorrow". (more) |

@msh210 Then just a regular explanation? It's that way because "when" refers to the time the action takes place. If you say "I'll eat when I'll be hungry", it means you will eat at the time when being hungry is still in the future (which doesn't really make sense). Taken another way, "present" is rel...

Are you asking for some sort of intuitive explanation (beyond an answer just saying "That's how English grammar is"?) (more) |

@curiousdannii It's just a small thing we can do, and I don't see any reason *not* to have this. (more) |

Question | — |
Styling language tags (Continued discussion of a specific idea from What tag hierarchy and ontology should Linguistics use?) As you've probably noticed, we have the ability to put style tags differently. For example, the discussion, feature-request, support, and bug tags have a different color scheme from the other tag...

@JirkaHanika I'm still opposed to splitting them. We still haven't decided on a meaningful definition of 'linguistics' yet (i.e. one where we can confidently say "This question goes here, this question goes there?) (more) |

@JirkaHanika actually, we can share tags between categories, it's not a big deal (and we already share tags between Resources and Q&A). (more) |

@Conrado It's fine, you're not being troublesome at all. On the other hand, therein lies the heart of the issue - dannii has a sole interest in "linguistics", but there is no well-defined boundary between linguistics and related fields. (more) |

@Conrado I'm uncertain what you mean by that. Questions on etymology are accepted here. (more) |
