Thanks for the article Scott, really fascinating stuff. Something that can be equally interesting is looking into the history of the profanity we use so often. Language has made a really dramatic progression over time.

Definitely intriguing to think about. Sometimes it's too easy to become frustrated or get so caught up in writing just to get pieces done that we lose sight of the real beauty of language.

me too, I'm fascinated by the pictorial origins of writing and links between writing and drawing...

I love to know the etymology of words, other alphabets, history of language and so on, yes, am a geek.

I'm definitely a language geek. I think the more fluently you speak a language and the more languages you speak, the more you become a language geek. Of course, the nice thing is the ability to come up with multiple variables for the language you use while writing.
