Thoth Provoking
fyuzhn: thothprocess: lokidindeed: i-deduce-youre-a-bitch: YOU NIQQAS WANNA LEARN ELVISH?! HERE YA GO! This is an interesting simplification of Tengwar (Elvish script) to represent non-phonetic English. Tolkien himself used many different ways of writing Elvish with Tengwar (made more challenging by the fact that he references at least two Elvish languages and implies dialects and source proto-languages), which makes it harder to have one absolute reference.  Overall, though, Tengwar are phonetic rather than non-phonetic like the Latin alphabet used by English. (Side-note: Tengwar as used most commonly and modified above is actually not an alphabet.  It is instead an abugida, a.k.a. an alphasyllabary, with vowels as diacritical marks rather than treated the same as consonant sounds.) You are the biggest nerd I know. But you’ve met my dad… Who made up his own phonetic alphabet for English inspired by Tengwar, then chose my name at birth to make sure it was spelled the same in both.

What 'Stop the Leaks' Hardliners Don't Realize: They Can't and Won't Ever Win

Many journalists are outraged that James Rosen, a Fox News correspondent, stands accused of criminal activity (though he is not being prosecuted) for soliciting classified information from government sources, something all national security reporters do. But there hasn’t been the same outpouring of support for Julian Assange of Wikileaks, who has long been investigated for the same behavior: allegedly soliciting classified material from Bradley Manning, his source.

Why isn’t Assange being defended as zealously?
