poeta has a locative? That's news to me. When would you even use that form?

Radvylf Programs

20:48

I'd assume the dictionary is just copying the pattern from words that do have locatives

But...four separate meanings for one word. What's the point of adding all sorts of endings to words when all they do is make things more ambiguous

How hard is it just come up with a few more endings

Or, better, instead of merging everything into a massive table of endings, just put two endings on stuff

DLosc

@RadvylfPrograms It's the other way around, generally--they used to be distinct and got merged. English is the same way, we're just a lot farther along in the process.

Unrelated String

^

coming up with new endings is generally harder since paradigm leveling is way more consistent than grammaticalization

@RadvylfPrograms lol are you a marketing person for Hypixel Zombies?

Radvylf Programs

Of course not. Hypixel Zombies's excellent gameplay speaks for itself, and it can be played free at mc.hypixel.net on any minecraft version from 1.8 to 1.18.

@RadvylfPrograms hey wait gosh dang it you can't go sharing classified government information like this!

That would explain why I don't remember much of my first 5 years of existence

My grade on an assignment: 100/100
My english teacher: "You do have time to submit a revision for a better grade by April 6th, 2022."

I feel like this is a threat

Sometimes I forget schools exist, so the concept of people going to a building 5 days a week for 6 or more hours now sounds odd

6 or more?! I have to go to school for 8 hours

Literally spend a third of my day there

Another third is spent sleeping, so only one third of my life is spent actually having a life

I love how the people on Explain XKCD overanalyze it and get into such deep discussions about what Randall meant and what each bit might be a reference to

My English teachers would be proud of them
