conlangs also be like: okay we fixed it, you now have a word for bread based on the various foodstuffs this bread can be made of, but the moment someone brings up the difference between a pumpernickel loaf and a pumpernickel bagel you're just screwed.

conlanging be like: you have 7 words for child/offspring, but you don’t have a single word for bread

Down Among the Sticks and Bones

I'm pretty sure I posted about this before, but I'm reading DAtSaB by @seananmcguire aloud to my girlfriend, and it hits so much harder than it did when I read it to myself - there's so much alliteration, so much poetry that doesn't stand out when you're reading it silently but turns the whole thing into absolute magic when read aloud

Anyway you should go read this series, and also you should read things aloud sometimes

You have been booped by this empty wrapping paper tube.

"OP" functions like a new pronoun between the third and second person. Think about it, when you write a comment and you mention OP you are giving people in the comments your opinion about someone else, that is third person, but you are also aware OP themselves could see it, so you are also talking to OP directly. This is why there are comments that use OP with third person and second person constructions, for example "OP this is hilarious" or "OP knows how to draw" As technology changes how we interact, it only makes sense language would adapt to it I think the next development should be a way to address people differently if they occupy the same physical space that you do than if they are far away
