Linguistic nuggests for your inbox?
As a language professional, I have posted on Social Media(*) about language for many years:
bad or funny translations (and what would make them better)
how German compares to English in interesting ways
Austrian quirks and how Austria works (compared to places with worse food)
Writing, creative and otherwise
bad corporate communication affecting both their customers and their contractors
other Opinionated Rants about language use, communication policies and related bad practices
things I'm learning about Scottish Gaelic
...and general playful language foolery
Now I would like to bring these to your inbox.
Grab a cup of tea and get cozy with weekly(ish) word|scones:

(*) Here's why people who know me there have signed up:
"What you do: share your delight in linguistic nuggets and bad translations
...among other things..."
"Dani is eloquent, witty, creative,...Whether she talks about translation, language(s) in general, or the underappreciated heroines of history, I can promise you it will be entertaining as well as educational."
"I like to think I am the sort of person who will pick up the creative writing prompts. I wouldn't have signed up just because we're friends. I genuinely am interested"
IF THEY SAY SO π¬
I'd love to have you join them. It'll be a good time, I've decided.
See you in your inbox!
