Antarctic scientists showed tiny, early signs of a new accent after spending all winter in isolated groups talking to each other. Cool to see exactly how the process of language divergence starts #langsky
Linguists Hear an Accent Begin
Residents of an overwintering station in Antarctica provided linguists with evidence of the first small changes in speech that may signal the development of a new accent.

T: Oh, egads! My Avatar is dead! But what if I were to utilize blood magics and disguise it as my own spells? Delightfully devilish, Tremere.

T: Hermetic Primus, I was just- uh, just draining some Quintessence from this tass. Sphere magick exercise. Care to join me?
