For a second I thought it was the grandfather in the second panel and that everyone else was gone and only grandfather was alive. Then I saw the graveyard.
Every time I see an ancient text translated, it always sounds like it was spoken by a classy Englishman from the 1800s. Is there a reason it’s translated that way instead of modern English?
If we’re talking about English, there were different kinds of English which were spoken (Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, and Modern English. And no, Old English doesn’t just mean English that sounds ‘old’. It was an early variety of English that was spoken from the 5th/7th century to 1066). All of them had their own phonology, morphology and syntax. In short, they followed their own linguistic rules and conventions. The way they sounded wasn’t just randomly made up. To find out more, look up the varieties of English I mentioned or take a look at this Wikipedia article about Historical linguistics.
No particular reason for asking, but I’m about curious the name of this forum template I’ve been seeing a lot lately (saw it around six months ago the first time). It’s basically a linear forum template where there is a timeline on the right side of the site. You can interact with it. ‘Template’ is probably not the...

I second that. Fossify also has a whole suite of other apps. It’s a fork from Simple Tools which sold out. Fossify Gallery is awesome and also available on Play Store. Other apps are making their way there. NB! Not connected to Fossify, just a fan of what they’re doing.
Alkuperäisessä merkityksessään jargon on jonkin ammattiryhmän sisäistä asiantuntijapuhetta. Siinä tehtävässä sillä on Laura Niemen mukaan yhä paikkansa....
Tuskin kukaan jargonia nyt tarkoituksella tai ainakaan tietoisesti keksii. Kuten Niemi artikkelissa kertoo niin jargonia käyttämällä ihminen tuntee olevansa alansa osaaja, mutta näin ei selvästikään aina ole. Näissä tapauksissa ihmisellä ei ole käsitystä siitä, että jargoni tarpeettomasti mutkaistaa viestintää. Siihen vaikuttaa osaltaan myös se, jos käyttää termejä (tietämättään) väärin. On eri asia, jos käyttää hyvin määriteltyjä ja alaan vakiintuneita termejä. Yleensä termejä käytetään juuri siksi, että niillä on vakiintunut merkitys. Toisaalta pitää sitten miettiä, että miten asioista viestitään ns. maallikolle niin, että hän ymmärtäisi asian. Voisi kuvitella, että yksinkertaistaa voi myös niin, ettei merkitys matkalla häviä. Eli viestinnän olisi hyvä olla täsmällistä, paikkaansapitävää ja selkeää.
Ja tuolla jutun kuvailemalla paskanjauhantabingolla ei ole kovin paljon tekemistä sen ammattislangin kanssa. Ensimmäinen kun on ihan konkreettista tarvetta varten olemassa (että asiansa osaavat tietävät tasan tarkkaan mistä puhutaan) ja toinen on sitten lähinnä puhujan oman egon masturbointiin kun knoppisanastoa käyttämällä voi tehdä itsestään fiksumman oloisen tai ainakin tärkeämmän kuuloisen kuin välttämättä oikeasti onkaan.
Tätä juuri tarkoitin. Itse yhdistän tämän knoppisanaston käytön siihen, että kielestä on monella ei-humanistisella alalla tehty pelkkä irrallinen viestimisen väline, minkä lisäksi käytetään kökköjä lauserakenteita, mikä ei auta viestin perillemenossa. Toki tämä liittyy enemmän viestintään, mutta jotenkin mielestäni näkyy myös se, että kieltä ei arvosteta enää samalla tavalla kuin ehkä aikaisemmin. Aika monella puhujalla kielestä puuttuu syvyys ja siitä on tullut jotenkin tasapaksua. Ks. keskustelut (erilaisten tekstien) lukemisen tärkeydestä JA lukutaidon heikkenemisestä sekä nyt tämä kirjojen alvin nostaminen. Elämme mielenkiintoisia aikoja.

Hello folks. I want to hear your opinions about the advances in AI and how it makes you feel. This is a community about privacy, so I already kind of know that you’re against it, at least when AI is implemented in such a way that it violates peoples’ privacy....
I can’t write much today, but I just want to thank everyone for their input. I know that AI means different things for different professions and different people. In cording, it can be quite helpful. But in a language-based profession, it can be problematic, because it can output fluent and convincing language, while getting all the facts wrong. Or it can sound very artistic, but if you look at it closer, it’s not all that original, or the language might become impoverished, and so on and so forth. In tedious and repetitive jobs people are perhaps more willing to give over to AI. Which is what robots are doing.
I’ll read your replies more closely tomorrow and reply to each one, if I can. Thanks for the discussion!

So what is the proper way to address a former president, Mr. or President?
Do we intentionally translate ancient stuff and languages to sound old timey as an artistic choice, or is there some other reason?
Every time I see an ancient text translated, it always sounds like it was spoken by a classy Englishman from the 1800s. Is there a reason it’s translated that way instead of modern English?
