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 ...

Comment Post #280383 @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.

Comment Post #280383 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)

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...

Comment Post #279738 @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?

Comment Post #279738 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".

Comment Post #279738 @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...

Comment Post #279738 Are you asking for some sort of intuitive explanation (beyond an answer just saying "That's how English grammar is"?)

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...

Comment Post #279346 @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?)

Comment Post #279346 @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.
