Great king, strong king, king of the Four Corners, king of the Universe
God, I say the same thing trying to scan labels at Walmart. “And people say palaeography training has no practical uses…”

Dammit- shouldn’t be surprised given his day-job was a programmer at Apple IIRC
December 21, 2025 at 11:03 PM
I describe him as the eternal B- student

Crap- I take it things got worse after Wednesday?

Will look at in a bit- currently recovering from 26 hours straight of being awake and travelling LOL (once again, happy to be included and helpful thank you)

Did you look at U of T? AIUI we have a good program
December 20, 2025 at 10:22 AM
God yes- one benefit to U of T is that it’s relatively easy to find SOMETHING related in a course, if not exactly what you want

Spoke too soon: it’s not public
December 20, 2025 at 4:07 AM
U of T Mississauga has an undergrad syllabus archive that’s public if you’re interested (St. George is much iffier, depends on department)

I got by for 2.5 months in Georgia on a vocab of 10 words: “hi, thank you (formal), yes (formal), no, I’M CANADIAN!!!” (This last one to be accompanied by a deer in the headlights look of panic and shame and used whenever someone tried speaking Georgian with me LOL)

I used to keep myself entertained working retail in downtown Toronto by guessing customer languages. On a good day, I could tell apart Amharic, Tigrinya and Somali by ear.

Sweet Dinosaur Jesus. This is meant for 11th graders??

Dammit. I had to check Wikipedia for dialect names shamefully (why the hell did I think Chipewayan was Cree???) and I found it just now. I was close!!!!

Looks cold as balls with no trees, so that does limit it a bit- imma guess Plains?
