The funny thing is that in the UK airport-related public transport is one of the few bits t that works. This guy should try getting a cross country train in the north on a Saturday then see how many opinions he has

If this was me, I would have probably used a pseudonym to write the 'cannibalism is legal' paper in the journal that explicitly allows pseudonyms

Just checking - did you/correspondants have similar worries about the first person imperative? Is that normal/archaic/weird?

Annoyingly I want a full third person! It turns out Turkish has this, so you can order someone around when they're not in the conversation!

This is my next example! I think I owe this point to you from when I was last chatting about this material!

Tell me to shut up, but I had a rummage around in the national corpus of Irish, and this looks like a good third person case:

Téadhsé i dtigh an diabhail!

(seems to be from a TG4 programme, unclear what tho! www.corpas.ie/en/cng/?q=t%...)

I guess a worry is that anglo bilingualism has faded out funky moods that don't translate into English

Interestingly, in one Scots Gaelic forum someone said that if you used the first-person imperative you'd sound Irish??

Aight sick. This is exactly what I was worried about; that if I just put the verb conjugations for my example sentence (Go to the protest) into the first and third person, they would sound super awkward. I've had a look on some reddit forums, and it does seem to be a question, but no clear answer

I think last time around this material I couldn’t get my head around the third person case but reading about Turkish has made me more confident

I checked a grammar textbook and it sounded confident! i just want to check examples sound contextually ok and make sure the grammar is actually right

@fintanmallory.com dunno if this is a you thing?

From grammar textbooks and conjugation tables I'm confident these sentences exist, it's just coming up with sensible examples

I didn't know this, but it turns out 'abulia' is also a thing for a lack of will! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abulia

Best I can do is 'bouletic', but my semantic memory is shot at the moment

Nah, I was trying hard to catch the whole philsci literature on authorship in the original paper, so it's annoying when I find something I missed!

Sorry I missed this! Mikkel's paper is a response to a BJPS paper that's unfortunately already been out for about three years

(Do I write another reply with Mikkel as contributor?)
