Linguistics

[mic0]

You could try making a post at the Polish page on reddit, or a request on Lang-8. Lang-8 is really a journaling site, but you could probably find someone who knows Polish willing to help out. The reddit one, usually people are nice about translating stuff on the other language pages I frequent, but I'd be careful if there is anything too personal/private you don't want on there. You could ask if anyone would be willing to help you through private messaging if you're worried about it, or if there is a lot to translate.

Thanks Katya & mico! These are obituaries for people who died about 100 years ago, and they were printed in the Polish Chicago newspaper, so I'd imagine there's probably not anything too earth shattering in there. But hopefully some useful things for family history purposes.

Mico, we were actually in a linguistics class together last winter semester. I didn't want it to seem creepy that I knew who you were so I never said anything.

1. Boardboard confessions should be a thing.
2. Hwaaaat?!!

It was the class where we were always trying to pull pranks on the professor like sitting in the back rows or changing the clock for the final.

[mic0]

I loooooved that class. Mostly the professor, but our class was pretty funny, too. He didn't even care one iota when we tried to pull pranks, which made it all the better. Well, maybe we should have been friends! We can be friends now, though.

I wish I had a Board writer in my class...that I knew about (cause that's the only fun way for me )

[Whistler]

okay, so I have a story about this. Tangerine and I were in a BoM class before I became a board writer... and we sat next to each other EVERY day... and then I found out when I became a writer, but after the class had ended.

[Whistler]

and I am terrible at telling stories!

[mic0]

Tangerine and I were in the senior thesis class together! I think I had met her once years before at a Board function and I remembered her but she didn't remember me. I very awkwardly told her who I was. :3

That's not a terribly told story, it's just fine!

[Tally M.]

So, a linguistics major potentially has a higher chance of running into a Board writer?

[mic0]

Apparently!

[Tally M.]

Looks like I'm in the right major

I was in your Book of Mormon class, Whistler. /boardboard confessions I even got hired by that professor. Was Tangerine in that one, or first half?

[Whistler]

well, I was hired by my first BoM professor, so I guess it was the honors class/2nd half of the BoM class. The one where we had a party at his house at the end because it was an honors class? I always sat in the front row, so I probably never saw you ;;.

That's kind of amazing because one of the other people on this forum is related to that religion professor! Small world.

[Portia]

Oh and everyone, Whistler sat in the front row every day, and I sat in the back row. I knew who she was, though, because of her distinctive voice. (I don't think I yet knew her secret identity, but figured it out pretty easily later.) Guess I'm the James Dean of the BoardBoard. Sittin' in the back, gettin' hired by the professor, incog, like a rebel.

[Whistler]

yeah and I asked questions all the time XD

[Portia]

yeah and I asked questions all the time XD

Yes. Yes, you did. I didn't. But I feel like people will soon get sick of my high girlish lilt this semester.

[Katya]

Someone needs to PM me to tell me the names of all of these linguistics professors.

[Tally M.]

Now that I know there's a Board writer in my class, after this thread, I'm guessing werf's in my linguistics class...
