My boyfriend makes the most interesting linguistic choices. I think I will start chronicling them as they come along before I forget them. I'm really quite lucky, the stuff he says is often delightful:
Verbing: "She likes to lawnmow"
Backforming: "So it's not badminton, it's goodminton!"
Pluralizing non-count nouns: "We can use lots of different rices."
Wow when I started this post there were at least five things I wanted to write down, but I've forgotten some clearly. Fear not, I will be back.
