@druidjournal @linguistics Two things going on here, I think.
Actual letter reversing is both unattested in natural language and very hard for (most) people to do -- even though it's computationally easy. This is why it's interesting that #chatGPT also struggles.
Pig Latin-ish games are unattested in natural language but *easy* for most people to do -- raising the interesting question of why they don't occur naturally.
Lite rolig detalj om plutokraterna Wallenberg, de verkar ha slaktat sitt gamla valspråk "Esse non videri" på sin hemsida.
I deras egna ord; "”Esse non videri” – att verka, inte bara synas vara."
Helt fel, det är mycket enklare än så; "att inte synas".
Men detta kanske är en del av deras strategi att inte synas. 😉
ME to the other Grandma, trying to talk over the heads of our grands:
“He [disgraced local politician]
is a J-E-R-K.”
JACK, age 7: “I know you just spelled ‘JERK,’ Nana”
ME: “Did you? How about if I say
‘ERK-Jay?’
JACK: “No. I don’t know what that is.”
ME: “OK, good. We still have #PigLatin.”
OTHER GRANDMA: “Except I can’t speak Pig Latin.”
Kid-safe #communication just got complicated by #Education.
[or a lack thereof…]
