Being a Better Writer: Languages · 9:35pm Nov 27th, 2017
Welcome back to another edition of Being a Better Writer, readers! I hope those of you who celebrated the US holiday of Thanksgiving had a good one, while those of you who didn't at least were obliging of our season of gluttony. Yeah, it's all about giving thanks ... but in my practical experience that's usually thanks for how many different kinds of pie one can stuff into them after devouring several pounds of turkey.
We're coming up on the Christmas holiday season (during which I'll be taking a short break to recharge), but in the meantime, I figured I'd continue in the same theme we've been following for the last two weeks (during which we've talked about accents and then dialects) and talk about Languages.
No, I'm not talking about foul language. Just languages. As in, languages other than the one that you're writing in that your audience speaks and reads. From something as simple as Spanish or Italian to writing in something a bit more fantastical, like Tolkien's Elvish or Star Trek's Klingon.
