Clojurians Log v2

This is glorious . Thanks for sharing

Don't know what it means when the words are in italics .

i think the italicised words are the focus of irregularity in that verse

the version that @thomas posted seems to be a longer version than most... i've been looking for an audio reading of it (but sadly can't find one) because there are some words on there i have been pronouncing wrongly in my head (bade, ague, terpsichore - i know the first two, but i don't think i've ever spoken them, and the third was new to me) and probably many more i don't yet know i've been pronouncing wrongly

I came across it years ago and it is quite tricky for non native speakers I think

and yes I thought made and bade were the same as well, but then again, I am johnny Foreigner anyway

bases on the first 50 italicised words, i've gotten 2 of them wrong (based on comparisons to audio readings) - so that gives me about a ~5% error rate, as a native speaker

i suspect i would do better if i were a fan of classical literature and theatre

there aren't many terpsichores or agues in the media i tend to consume though

Oh yeah, I'm totally ignoring the words nobody uses or knows what they mean anyway.

😂

good to know I am not the only one

just realised, that poem avoids mentioning scones

perhaps that is wise

grrr

scones is right there with vim vs. emacs and spaces vs tabs

i dunno, i'm an emacs user, but i have a healthy respect for vim users, and have occasionally even been tempted to cross the divide - whereas i have no respect at all for tab users or those who pronounce scone as "sconn"

scone as in gone

smh

🙂

yeah but is the pasty from devon or cornwall?

I though all these innovations are from China originally

and they received them from alien civilisations ... no doubt
