The enormity of my misuse of "enormity" has an enormousness which is simply staggering. 

This is one of the best videos i've ever seen!

i don't think anyone should underestimate the bonds that can be formed between humans and other animals...i've seen clips of lions and tigers playing with the humans who helped raise them after years of not seeing them. an amazing reminder that we are part of the natural world and can learn a lot from our animal friends.

I really like the new footer as well with the links and explanatory text.  but it looks a bit bland.  you need some pictures or something 

Hey Gord, is it possible to get a user guide for the software youre using here?  something to explain all the little functions I keep finding here and there?

it might save some questions in this forum! 

When i;m in my Learning Domain I notice that sometimes there are blocks of text that don;t have a background...it's hard to read them against the graphical backgrounds.  Can this be fixed?

Well i guess the "aura" is a magical quality...?

I've never seen the Mona Lisa but personally I don't mind museums at all

nothing wrong with museums - how else are you going to see this stuff?

I leave for a while and all sorts of things happen!  What's this stuff about Economies, Domains, etc?  Geez....

yeah when are all those changes gonna happen?  Not that I care about zombies too much (sorry!) but just wondering.

can we upload our own?

That would be great!

PS I also like the fact that the forums pictures are smaller in this theme - they were too big in the other one

It's high time we had some Aussie slang resources on this site!

@Graham Barnett's hatred of Trump extends in all directions, to all forums and beyond

to which it never occurs to want except in the presence of what it wants

I think that is beautiful but I don't know if it's true of all genius or artists in general.  I think lots of art is made through not knowing what one wants and sort of an an endless searching to find it?

LOL classic/!

so, sup? been a while...how is everyone?  been pretty quiet around here...tried to drop by a little while ago but the site was in maintenance mode?  crashed?

Good to see it back up 

+1 violence against women appalls me as a feminist.

Breathtaking..but i can't decide its a utopian Game of Thrones-like world or some post-industrial Trump capitalist hell

Moreover, it is profoundly philosophical and, I'll add, quite Schellingian!

Oh, not Schelling again! 

So these aren't language errors per se but they do bend the rules of language logic

i think you're harder on the show than i am  but i agree..like what bearing does it have on my life if there was a serial killer in my family?!

Lol @ spelling, especially for a language blog

caught out! lol...well I did say language and not typing 

I was watching this program in Aus (where i live) last night called "Dna Nation" which is about three celebrities (Ernie Dingo, Julia Zemiro and IanThorpe) who have their DNA taken and their heritage traced back 2000,000 years.  It's quite interesting but they kept talking about how DNA tells you "where you come from" and "who you are."

i don't know about all of you but while i find it interesting i don't think it tells me a lot about who i am.

But I don't think I know what the difference between unconscious and subconscious is anyway..

i think as gord said the difference is that the subconscious is still kind of conscious?

I would really love it if the Langaug Oddities blog were opened up because i would love to contribute to it!

Well this site has a lot to say about the science of psychoanalysis

I know but what about psychoaanlsis as an art?  i mean even taht essay you're reading on creative writing shows he wrote about more than just science topics?  i haven't read that essay for a long time but isn't it a theory of art? artists as neurotics like savages and children if i remember correctly

Can't argue with internet memes
