Liked on YouTube: The Hidden Rules of Conversation

Gricean Maxims are a vital part of how we understand each other: a set of… well, maybe “rules” is a bit strong. They’re guidelines that we follow without realising it. And it’s the reason that “asbestos-free cereal” sounds suspicious.

Today in Amusing Middle English, I came across an adjective meaning “noble” or “lovely” or “beautiful”. It can also mean, in various contexts, “graceful,” “lush,” “splendid,” “mirthful,” or “majestic”.

The adjective in question is “wlonk”.

And I think to myself, what a wlonkderful world…
