Squalid posted:ugh. . . I know you're speaking of early breeders, but this is still basically how a lot of breeders talk and I hate it so much. There's so much pseudoscience that get's a pass, even in big national organizations. Look at you scrubs and your wool dogs. What if I told you that any cottage in England of respectable size and wealth once had two combined kitchen machine/footwarmer dogs?

This breed was kept by pacific northwest Indians and shorn every summer. The wool for the blanket in the picture came from those little doggies. Sadly after the introduction of cheap European yarn and cloth in the mid-late 19th century, the Salish Indians ceased to maintain the breed and the wool dog type disappeared. Today the vast majority of North American dogs are descended from European stock, their spread mirroring that of European humans.

Waroduce posted:I'll be in Vienna for 3 days and have added the Austrian National Library to my very short list of things to do. So far the lists consists of: You go to the Rüstkammer. It's in the Weltmuseum (top floor), right next to the Nationalbibliothek When you're done there, go over to the Kunsthistorisches Museum and look at all the BIG painters, like Tizian, Rembrandt, etc. A bit hidden, there's a Roman museum, but I've never been there. On the next day, you go to the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum and look at all the stuff there. If the weather is a bit better and less tropical, you'll rent a car and go to Carnuntum, to look at the roman remains and the museum there (and think of Marc Aurel), and check out the Heidentor. Other than that, touristy kitsch. Btw, if you happen to take a detour to Madrid, I'd request a few photos from the Royal Armory there.

I feel like it's just slang. Slang changes rapidly in both written and spoken language, because it's used in part to gatekeep identity--people who speak with he same slang as you do are part of the same group as you. It's gotta change rapidly to accomplish that unless you want your in-group to include olds

Cyrano4747 posted:Smh at people shaking their heads thinking kids write out “shaking my head” Dang, I thought that meant so much hate. I never thought of shaking your head as like a way of emoting. Abbreviations are both more difficult and less handy in the era of autocorrect.

There was specific stuff you had to do that only made sense on old phones where T9 was your sole input method. Most of that stuff evaporated as soon as phones with full keyboards and then smartphones with predictive text happened.

Wait a minute--aphidlicker and Cyrano, what do you say for "globe"? Like in an astronomy textbook, the globe of the earth. I think I've heard Erdkugel? (and by "hear" i mean i read 17th century documents and sound like a weirdo when i speak german) HEY GUNS fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Aug 29, 2019 |

Yeah the ball-with-a-map-glued-on I'd say is a Globus. In a modern astronomy textbook picturing a planet I think you'd just say (name of planet). Die Erde, Der Mars, Der Mond. Erdball, Erdkugel is oldtimey for the actual thing and might also have been used for the map-on-ball, idk. Modern I'd say Globus solely for map-on-ball, Erde for the actual thing, map-in-book would be eine Karte der Erd(oberfläch)e or something?

Yeah I think I’ve always just used die Erde. Now in fairness my German comes in two flavors: talking / reading about post-war political poo poo and BS’ing with barflies in the Eckkneipe. That’s to say that I’ve had limited need to employ the word “globe.” Incidentally, there’s a deutschsprachige Goons thread over in the nerd sub forum where we hammer on this crap incessantly. It’s a fun place.
