Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 08/06/2026Hmm, the specificity of "eye ointment for use on the eye" makes me wonder what other kinds of eye ointments there are... ? Maybe ointments made *from* eyes for use on one's... ears? 010 1

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 30/04/2026One thing I love about the modern world is that it makes garden paths so much more interesting when common sense isn't useful anymore even as a rough guide to wtf happened. (Source: BBC) #linguistics 0166 16

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 17/04/2026Chat, what do we know about agreement attraction from inside NN compounds? Or maybe something else is happening here. AA on possessives is always interesting to me because it's the kind of error that I subjectively feel I would never conceivably make, because it just feels so... wrong. 010 1

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 28/01/2026What do people think of this construction? I'm not a native speaker of English, but for me "it" can't refer back to "WB-57". #linguistics 390 9

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 23/12/2025I piped the whole chorus through Stanford CoreNLP and it seems to think that both instances of "it" refer to the narrator's heart 000 0
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 19/12/2025I think "(in)tolerance towards coordination of unlike things" is probably a good indicator of general linguistic pedantry in a person. Here we have "snow and slipperiness removal", which I personally don't feel good about. #linguistics 030 3

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 13/10/2025Making Apfelstrudel and the recipe says to adjust the amount of breadcrumbs according to "how much the butter can soak up". Am I having a stroke or should it be the other way around? This even appears twice in the recipe. #linguistics 120 2
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 21/09/2025So if someone is "X poor" and you promise to make them "X rich", is X the difference between their $$$ and some average, and you're promising to basically flip the sign of that difference? I want to understand precisely what the bear is offering here. #linguistics 330 3
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 12/08/2025Inscrutability of reference still going strong. I was totally assuming that the little guy in the picture was the nurdle and immediately went "How dare you!" #linguistics 0101 10

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 16/07/2025InStyle is perhaps one of the last places where I would have looked for linguistic pedantry. The temptation to write "1 Preis" ("Eins Preis") must have been enormous. #linguistics 020 2

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 12/06/2025arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/n... The really interesting part is that the LLM (or LRM or whatever) enthusiasts quoted in the article defend the models' "reasoning" by basically saying that it's actually somehow clever of them to be wrong 010 1

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 05/03/2025I think this construction has seen a rise in frequency recently and it still baffles me. "One record chases the next one" - this is logically impossible, right? Is this intentional and meant to imply that the next one is so fast that it overtook the previous one? 🤔 #linguistics 020 2
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 27/01/2025Maybe if I wait between 44 and 54 minutes, a glitchy bus will arrive and take me out of the matrix 000 0
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 06/01/2025Serious question: Is this correct English? Sounds very odd to me. "unable" seems to indicate some form of (potential) agency, but with use of the passive, the agency would lie with the reviver, not the revivee, no? #linguistics 5101 10

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 04/12/2024Yet again, thanks for nothing, Claude. It just parroted the English example, creating a completely ungrammatical German sentence. And I seriously doubt that the difference between regular ambiguity and local coherence was "understood". 000 0

Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 18/09/2024Is this saying that other EV trucks are selling Cybertrucks but Tesla sold more of them, or that Tesla is selling other EV trucks besides Cybertrucks, but fewer of them? In any case, I think the intended meaning is not licensed here... ? Other English speakers, what do you think? #linguistics 140 4
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 10/09/2024What I've also noticed is that chatbots make inflationary use of the word "ambiguous" when asked to do #linguistics, especially in cases that are known to be problematic for humans, such as the locally coherent (but NOT classically ambiguous) sentence shown here. 010 1
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 09/09/2024Claude's responses here seem completely unhinged to me and unlike anything a human would come up with, but they are certainly interesting. #linguistics 160 6
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 20/07/2024I'm in the Netherlands right now and was wondering what the etymology of "fiets" was and apparently it's... kind of muddy?? 000 0
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 24/06/2024I'm actually impressed that Claude can kinda... do #linguistics without hallucinating the hell out of the input? It gave me pretty sensible results for a range of linguistic illusions, even though it still produces confused BS for the depth charge illusion like all other models. 110 1
Dario Paape @dariopaape.eurosky.social · 25/04/2024Fellow German speakers: Is there a word missing in this sentence? (Apart from determiners, I mean) 200 2
