    RE: toot.cat/@woozle/1163241891915

    Hi, I'm Courtney. I'm not autistic, but I do have ADHD, which does, at times, trigger neurodivulgence.

    Also, I am liking the application of inflectional morphology to DuckDuckGo.

    The existence of DuckDuckGo implies not only the existence of DuckDuckWent (as @woozle demonstrates below), but also of DuckDuckHaveGone and DuckDuckWillHaveBeenGoing.

    It's completely delightful.

    "The Real is accessed by language. The point of language is to keep language as an endlessly revisable process. Words don't have meanings -- they have histories, and they have futures, and they have memories."

    TIL the word "priest" ultimately comes from a Proto-Indo-European word meaning "one who leads cattle."

    I am amused.
