Glossary

Here's another glorious tidbit from the past, which is actually really exciting because it demonstrates to me that my grasp of French has, in fact, improved in the last few years! 😂 *

*: Some chat clients (slack, signal? discord, zulip) convert certain terms between colons(:) into emojis! 😂 becomes the crying laughing face, 😭 the crying crying face, :lever_les_yeux_au_ciel: the rolling eyes face when you have slack configured to be in French. (My Francophone colleagues especially find it strange and bemusing that I use slack in French - nobody else does, and it leads me to find weird bugs and develop strange habits like referring to "@ici" instead of "@here". But how else will I learn to say "roll your eyes", if not by searching for the emoji in French?!)

Anyway, here's the little stub of a post that doesn't actually explain anything. Apparently I thought a glossary would be useful, which is cute, but like, a lot of maintenance. So, not gonna happen. 😄

Voici une collection des termes que je pense que soient nEcessaires ou utiles pour comprendre mes postes. J'espEre que cette vous aide. [Why is this in French?]

C'est bon #

The preamble to this glossary is in French because I felt like it. It hopefully translates to "Here is a collection of terms that I think are necessary or useful for understanding my posts. I hope it helps." I like other languages and hope you do too.

Back to the present:

So, that was cute, I hope you agree. The capitalized Es in the French part are my shorthand for when I know I need an accent but I'll insert it later. It's adorable to read because now I am amazed that I constructed those sentences and thought they were correct. It's still understandable though I'm pretty sure! I might write a bit more in French in the future; in fact, hopefully a post will come soon to elaborate on a desire that I have to expand the breadth of this blog outside of code. Stay tuned les amis ! 😉

In other notes, I guess the random letters in the columns were placeholders while I figured out how to do tables? And also the "Why is this in French?" link is cool, except it links to like 2 lines down, so if you click the link you can't tell it actually did anything, which is less than ideal. ><

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bye!
