Brain. Hurt.



Today I have:

  • Analysed the linguistic differences between sheep and goats--'baa vs. maa' (both sounds being made with the lips, both voiced, with the goats nasalising their sounds). Gee, is it any wonder people think I'm weird?
  • Typed dictation for three hours and at one point demonstrated that I can read, speak, and type at the same time, although a bit slower than doing just two at the same time.
  • Listened to a Spanish conversation on the bus that, barring a few words that I couldn't quite make out, I generally understood.

The language parts of my brain have just worked too much today. Dare I play Literati?
