I have released formant-extraction-skill, a skillset that takes interviews from raw audio to a vowel-formant CSV in a single prompt. Run in Claude Cowork (desktop) or Claude Code (CLI). github.com/wordsmith189/formant-extraction-skill v1 covers AmE only; bilingual support planned for v2.

Dieser Satz ist sehr wiederverwendbar, gerade als zweiter Satz in der Unterzeile von der online-Version einer Zeitung: "Wer jetzt glaubt, damit sei schon alles gesagt, irrt gewaltig." Das passt überall, oder? @zeit.de 📰

Y’all let’s not forget about the accusative ending, mmkay? “Habemus papa” is D- material, @nytimes.com

New York Times news photo caption wrongly quotes the phrase by which a new pope is announced.

Boy, I hope I'm not derived from the Etruscan one. Unknown etymology? Don't like that!

A student asked me this question by email today. I felt it inappropriate to send them the poem in response. Therefore, you're getting it here, although it's hardly new. Poem by Tom Wayman

It's been too long since I've seen this anywhere. OH YOU'RE A LINGUIST? HOW MANY LANGUAGES DO YOU SPEAK?

Stick figure cartoon with title "The linguists strike back" and speech bubbles "Marine biologist? Wow, so how many dolphins do you own?", "So you're an opthalmologist? Fascinating, so how many eyes to you have?", and "Anesthesiologist, eh? So do you actually, like, feel anything?"
