  7. In this riveting #exposé, we discover that #algorithms, with the precision of a caffeinated squirrel 🐿️, can magically transform us into #polyglots overnight. Because clearly, learning a language is just a matter of math and probability, not, you know, actually speaking it. 🙄

  9. @emaechler Melde dich gerne im #polyglots Channel im deutschen Slack. Als Entwickler kannst du dann auch eingerichtet werden direkt Übersetzungen freizuschalten, aber für den Prozess ist eine Teilnahme im Slack super praktisch. Ggf. bekommst du so auch Hinweise zum Plugin und der Nutzung der Übersetzungsfunktionen ...

  15. #polyglots what is your most frequently confused language?

    Finding recently writing in #Python my brains keeps slipping to #ruby probably because they’re “close enough” that it trips me up.

  19. @ceperez sorry what?

    Earlier societies? 🤔

    You're wiping off the majority of the existing population with your myopic experience then probably.

    People of the Indian subcontinent, China and South East Asia are predominantly #bilingual, if not multi-lingual, or even outright #polyglots (I know 7 languages, but most around me know 3 & all know 2 languages).

    And that's majority of humanity, current societies.
