I've created a twitter account just for notes about language and linguistics. So I can spam it with notes and just how cool is the name "Brad y Llyfrau Geleision" aka "The Treachery of the Blue Books" for a government report, and only spam LJ once a day with my fabulous insights.

lingusticality: yes, I just realized I spelled the "linguistic" part wrong. Oh well!

Someone has been ordering a lot of linguistics and geneology books in foreign languages via the ILL system I run recently. I just tell the guy that he has books in, and no way am I trying to pronounce that.

I've been reading on this topic for several weeks know, and I can't pronounce Welsh. It's a pretty regular system, so there's only one way to pronounce each letter, but I can't remember what most of those pronunciations are.
