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) |

| 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. Even your own Wikipedia quote has the infamous [citation needed]: (reproduced here for emphasis) > Strictly speaking, pronouns do not take modifiers[citation ... (more) |

@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) |
