arkydo | rindolf: How different is modern Hebrew from classical Hebrew in terms of grammar? |
rindolf | arkydo: Classical Hebrew? What's that? |
thrig | presumably with tuxes and violins instead of guitars |
rindolf | arkydo: there was Biblical Hebrew, Mishna'ic Hebrew, Medieval Hebrew, post-Medieval Hebrew, and Modern Hebrew. |
stan\0 | how confusing |
arkydo | rindolf: biblical Hebrew I mean. |
grothendieck | Post-Modern Hebrew :P |
rindolf | arkydo: I think Modern Hebrew is using the grammar of the Mishna'ic Hebrew with the vocabulary of the Biblical Hebrew. |
thrig | Atonal Hebrew, Serial Hebrew, Minimal Hebrew |
rindolf | arkydo: you can understand a large part of the Bible, but the grammar sounds different. |
rindolf | arkydo: though you get used to it. |
Vicissitude | what about homebrew Hebrew? |
rindolf | Vicissitude: perlbrew Hebrew! |
Vicissitude | :) |
rindolf | perlall Hebrew. |
rindolf | local-lib Hebrew. |
alpha- | we should all just stick to ASCII |
alpha- | and learn English |
alpha- | would make things so much easier |
rindolf | alpha-: and less interesting, too. |
rindolf | alpha-: and less enlightening. |
rindolf | But that was a joke. |
mauke | ASCII isn't enough for English |
rindolf | “128 characters should be enough for everybody.” ;-) |
mauke | don’t be naïve |
thrig | I'm sure we can all coöperate on some solution |
rindolf | mauke: give me ASCII or give me deaþ! |
mauke | rindolf: ☠ |
rindolf | mauke: thanks. |
* rindolf | takes the Unicode death thingy from mauke. |
mauke | there's also ⺞ |
thrig | huh. https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=%E2%98%A0 really google? nothing? |
petn-randall | I think we should all go back to grunting in two tones |
stan\0 | i think Google broke |
stan\0 | for some people at least |
petn-randall | Then we only need one bit for every sound we make |
stan\0 | only gives me shit |
rindolf | https://www.google.com/search?q=foobar - seems to work. |
stan\0 | i meant the quality of results returned is subpar |
rindolf | petn-randall: wheee... whaaa? |
mauke | uh-huh |
petn-randall | rindolf: Exactly. |
petn-randall | Then we could get of this 'ASCII' everyone's talking about, too |
rindolf | petn-randall: whooo! |
rindolf | Ooops. |
petn-randall | rindolf: You overdid it, how am I gonna get those three cries into one bit?! |
rindolf | petn-randall: use UTF-cries. |
petn-randall | I could use compression, I guess ... |
rindolf | Or UTF-1 |
