As linguists, we should be surprised that a computer program can't pass a Turing test!

Q: Would you like a regular chat event for talking about Linguistics?

The thirty spokes unite in the one nave; but it is on the empty
space (for the axle), that the use of the wheel depends. Clay is
fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness, that
their use depends. The door and windows are cut out (from the walls)

Invite people! :D ahah

Of course you don't need it like oxygen.

Just as you don't need a shower or a bed.

Maybe because that's not what you expect to find on a bull's back.

@Cerberus Oh, nothing is certain in this world...

Do you like to explore the possibilities in a case like "beautify beauty"?
Jun 18, 2012 23:26
Photos, or it didn't happen
Jun 18, 2012 23:18
It's just A with a circle and S with no circle, and some lines and arrows.
Jun 18, 2012 22:02
