Your link directly contradicts what you said?

If colours were simply a naming scheme for wavelengths then pink is not one

However, colours are not simply names for wavelengths – colours merely label our perception of light, once it has passed through our eyes.

My favorite Teams feature is that when you share your screen, it puts some giant bar that can't be hidden at the top of the screen that covers up your tabs.

There's been some progress recently, but it's still annoying in c/[email protected]

And people who speak Swahili (which has 18 noun classes/genders) might complain that with only 2 genders, there are many examples where its still ambiguous.

There's an infinite amount of extra info you can append onto any part of a language, you have to make a cutoff somewhere. I'm just glad English didn't go with a feature that made me want to kill myself in most conversations when I was learning Spanish.

Kinda. You can't define a name, but you can get the compiler to interpret literals as a function. If you have a Num instance for (Integer -> Integer) where,

fromInteger i = \x -> x * i

the compiler can interpret integer literals as functions like so

x = 2(5) :: Integer

If con-linguistics is fine here, here's a Stalin quote translated into Dlay ró (lemmygrad.ml)

Sorry, graphics design is my passion. This is from a fictional communist party in a dialect of Dlay ró spoken along the coast in Northwest Africa.

English Quote: It is difficult for me to imagine what personal liberty is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.

Direct Translation: I difficultly imagine one-personal liberty that brings happiness to a hungry, jobless person. Only the freedom understandably exists in a place without exploitation and without oppression of one person through another; a place without job loss, where there exists no person with fear of losing their job, their home, and their bread. Only in that society one-personal and all other freedoms truly exist and not between speeches.

Sorry for this formatting, either the preview is broken or word wrap is getting added. IPA and Glossing:
