- Comment on I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do? 4 days ago:

It may be because a large enough load could quickly block the driver’s left-side mirror.
Oooh, another thing is that a heavy enough load may imbalance the vehicle enough to make it unsafe on turns.
Anyone see anything else?

Unfortunately velma is both very active and very serious.

I mean, how did we get “Dick” from Richard?
By asking nicely.
- Comment on How did we get "bike" from "bicycle"? 1 week ago:
So the proposal is that bicycle was replaced by something completely etymologically unrelated? I think that’s unlikely.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I mean, ideally, sure. I think native ports will come as Linux market share continues to increase though, and Proton is an amazing tool both to have in the meantime and to drive the growth necessary for comparies to start catering to Linux gamers’ needs.

I love puns! I just thought this was a good opportunity to drop some interesting linguistic knowledge about prosody.
- Comment on The Time Being 4 weeks ago:
My comment was based on fluent speech, not careful speech.
I’m entertaining the idea that some of the commenters here may speak varieties (or even idiolects) where the two pronunciations have merged, but I think the more likely explanation is that they’re laypeople who (like many native speakers) aren’t able to detect stress contrasts in their own speech.
- Comment on The Time Being 4 weeks ago:
Idiomatic phrases usually (but not always) retain the stress pattern of their original syntax even after they lexicalize. See: “the CAT’s out of the BAG” vs. “the CLAM’S out of the POND” and “kick the BUCKet” vs. “beat the MONkey”.
So, while I agree with you that “time being” (and probably all of “for the time being”, for that matter) is idiomatic, its prosody has fossilized from its original syntax in which “being” modified “time”.
- Comment on The Time Being 4 weeks ago:
It’s really interesting that they sound the same to you! I’d expect both to have merged to the “for the TIME being” pronunciation if that were the case - does that match your intuition?
- Comment on The Time Being 4 weeks ago:
No, but intonation is different between the two phrases, and as exemplified here: inTOnation is AN inteGRAL part OF lanGUAGE.
“for the time BEing” vs. “for the TIME being”
