@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) |

A: Does Japanese have pronouns? > What arguments are used to answer this question? Does it stem from a lack of agreement over how to define a pronoun? Essentially, yes.

@curiousdannii That's up to the asker to decide, not us. Quote an answer there as an answer here if you feel it's good. We also have no policy forbidding reasking questions asked on other sites. (more) |

@manassehktz works fine with me, I'm just concerned about server load since, yn, we'll be serving moe stuff. Might not be too bad though if we @font-face it and make sure to only load fonts used on the page since most questions won't be more than one other language. If we decide to do that for a scri...

@manassehkatz Android is weird. Apparently, there are only a few fonts installed system-wide: Droid Sans, Droid Serif, and Droid Sans Mono, and Roboto (Android 4+). **However**, applications (including browsers) can install their own fonts (for their own use, not system-wide). Which means we can't re... (more) |

Crowdsourced font stack for Languages & Linguistics A continuation of my previous post.

We now have (basic) language support As of the most recent deploy, users now have the ability to mark text as a certain language! Users can now add `lang` attributes to html.

@DonielF ah, i didn't realize it was related to Judaism. Which reminds me, the Judaism community's weekly challenge is on the Hebrew alphabet... :) Perhaps you could ask a question there about what these timeline conflicts mean. (more) |

@DonielF What is this Gemara, and when was this Sinai that you mention? (I'm not a scholar of Hebrew). According to a comment by Christopher Ray Miller, the adoption of the final forms was sometime around the 5th century BCE. (more) |

A: Why do certain Hebrew letters have alternate final forms? The final forms of `ך`, `ן`, `ף`, and `ץ` are the original forms. From a Quora answer to What's the origin of the final (sofit) forms for some of the Hebrew alphabet? > Four of the five “sofit” letters in Hebrew are actually older than their non-sofit counterparts: ך ן ף ץ, which all descend b...

There's no real way to show steps taken to equate "the better to ..." and "so as to ... better", since the construction isn't easily generalized - for example, "the faster to run" or "the bigger to grow" doesn't really sound natural (edited since my original examples were bad) (more) |
