It's so funny seeing you flounder after being called out for your blatant lying lmao. "That's why I wrote it in quotes"? What???
And it's funny how you just looked up a random Old Norse text online and copied the first paragraph of the second chapter to try to pretend that you can back up your lies. And now your comeback is "b... but go back to high school! k-kid!". Pathetic, you need to improve your bullshitting.
Ok, when I get back from the store after getting a shitfuck much more alcohol, I'll treat you to a personal recitation and upload it to you, to calm your nerves, how about that? Would that assuage your doubts? Hey, assuage, that shit's French too!
I'm gonna do it for you buddy.
Maybe if you record your device on, say, chatgpt and make it generate random old english & old norse, and then attempt to translate them in real time, I'd believe you. But anyone can just pronounce a pretty consistent phonemic orthography ;)
Lmao you don't know what you're talking about. I've had a significant amount of formal education in linguistics, considering I was specializing in computational linguistics. I've spent many years of my life specifically on linguistics, even before I started my degree which is linguistics focused, and said college education has significantly added onto it.
Every modern, accredited linguistics professor would laugh at your claims. The things you say sound like jokes to anyone with actual knowledge on dialectology and historical linguistics. Even a layman linguist would think you're insane. Unfortunately your beliefs are also the same that a large portion of the poorly educated populace has, so even though it's a stupid belief it's still common for those not educated in linguistics.
You're just throwing out ad hominem attacks because you have been clearly caught lying out of your ass about knowing multiple things (You can easily "read Germanic"? You think Old English/Norse and French writing is mutually intelligible with English writing to any significant degree? What???). You literally just Googled a random Old Norse manuscript and copy pasted one of the first paragraphs to try to come up with something to back up your claims.
You look silly. There is no more purpose in arguing with you since you clearly refuse to learn from your nonsense drivel being clearly torn apart. You can't even follow up on your "promises". Lol
These are definitely good reads for people like you, just to show you what people who have actual linguistics & culture knowledge think of the likes of you:

This is just pathetic. Honestly. I am going to guess you "didn't have time" to check my video, right?
Going through your recent comment history, you're pathetic. Everyone is calling you out for being batshit insane lmao. I know "responsibilities" and "a job" are both foreign concepts to you, and I'm sure you think everyone can spend their time on Lemmy 24/7 just like you, but jesus christ... I consider myself an avid poster but you somehow have over 3x the comments as me. So yes, I didn't have the time to watch the video you allegedly made (and I emphasize the allegedly).
There is literally nothing to suggest that you are any sort of expert or even trustworthy person when it comes to language, let alone whether "extravert" is "incorrect". Based on your comments about it, the evidence all points in the opposite – you're an expert of nothing except saying you're totally "knowledgable". Why do you think you're better at language than the people who make dictionaries for christ's sake?! Or the large amount of researchers who use the term "extrovert" in a formal setting, most of whom are experts in either 2nd language acquisition, linguistics/psycholinguistics, or psychology? How do you presume that they're the incorrect ones for using what you deem to be the "wrong" spelling (out of two equally valid spellings), when you can't even compare to their level of expertise? Rather than actually making these papers on psychology and linguistics, you're LARPing as a high school English teacher online and saying stupid shit about language. I want to ask you what qualifications you have, if any at all? Do you even have any college education on linguistics? Can you even do so little as to read and write basic IPA transcriptions?
Why are you deleting half of the comments you've recently posted, after people respond to them with sources and actual arguments? There have been multiple in this thread. You're obviously not very confident in them, they make you look absolutely embarassing. You do realize that on most front-ends, it doesn't delete the entire thread below the deleted comment anymore, right? And the stupid responses are still available in the peoples' inboxes.
What's more likely, that almost every professional on language is wrong, or that you're wrong? Are all the most credible dictionaries wrong?

Answer it. Do you think a majority of linguistics professors and people with linguistics PhDs are wrong, and you're somehow right?
