[Pedant hat ON]

Homing.

They're HOMING in on the enemy, not honing.

To hone means to sharpen. Can be either literal (honing a knife) or figurative (honing your skills).

To home means to zero in on, like a homing pigeon or an airplane following a homing beacon (a ground-based radio signal...

Figurative Kunst war vielleicht schon eine Verfallserscheinung? Ich frage das für Ulrich Greiner, der einmal gesagt hat, er wolle wieder Gemälde, auf denen Kühe wie Kühe aussehen.

How about this for a Claddagh crossover?

I've been obsessed with Sheela Na Gigs for about a year, and I've spent 6 months designing this Sheela Claddagh with and Cloud Factory.

A sheela na gig is a figurative carving of a naked woman displaying an exaggerated vulva, believed to be an ancient

I am American and I would use it the same way. A figurative cowboy would imply carelessness and rash decisions, which on consideration, is the opposite of the literal cowboys i have known😅

..."1%" (figurative, can be even lower) risk of failure has prohibitively high costs - obviously triggering WW3 is at the top of those scenarios. The Iran school bombing should have been an enormous red flag to instantly stop using AI in the military, but unfortunately it wasn't.

This gets at a big part of what's hurting (literal & figurative) right now for me, though, because I'm not sure if it stings more to keep playing when my body can't do now what it did before than it would to have stopped earlier and yearn now.

#Conlangity

This is Siefan, and at the time a majority of my stories would take place, there's a figurative handful left who can, if that! 😂

Before that, it was primarily spoken by a prominent scholar-viking type people living mostly in a taiga biome that my immortal son Eru Ayaanskil came from. 🧵
#Conlangity Day 1

We're starting off real simple! Don't get used to it 😂

What's the name of your conlang, and who speaks it in your world? Don't get too deep into the history or purpose of it yet; that'll be Day 5!

Bonus: How much do you already have developed? What made you want to make it?
