How am I supposed to know that bureaucrat is spelled like that? And not 'burocrat'? How am supposed to now it's not pronounced as boo-reeah-oo-crat, based on the way its spelt. What's the real pronunciation of GH? "g" as in ghost? "f" as in tough? "j" as in sengh silent as in night? You had to look up 'sengh' to make sure it's a made-up word.

He just tells his well thought views in a funny way and goes about his life. Usually he wears common clothes, he doesn't need a suit. He's very relatable and seems like a fun guy to have a conversation in a bar without making a scene. Down to earth.

    • Yeah, I'd never thought much about that particular word, but he's right, it's really interesting! "Ass" often has less literal meaning, and more attitudinal meaning. Funny, that's not a feature I associate strongly with English. I study Japanese... Sort of -- I took two years in college, and now I'm able to read manga with the help of a dictionary, pick up lots of conversations in anime. Anyway, Japanese has a lot of words like that. I get hung up on what is meant literally by a expression, what kind of implications a usage carries, word histories and relationships... Basically, I try to understand the language the way a native speaker would. For instance, why is "mono" ("thing") used to indicate strong emotion or a reason for something? Does it have something to do with making something more concrete for emphasis, like how we use "literally"? ...Huh, I never thought about it before, but actually, that sounds about right. Anyway, the point is, sometimes have to stop and remember -- native speakers don't think about it that much. It's the same for English speakers. I mean, yeah, some things are obvious, but others, like here? I've intuited how to use "ass" without ever stopping to think about it. There are a lot of other things I HAVE thought about, like... Just off the top of my head, why do we use "now" to mean both "in the present," and as an interjection to create emphasis (often to draw comparison)? Those seem like kind of disparate usages. ...If I had to guess, I think it has some kind of implication of immediacy, it makes the topic seem the present situation. And there's another one -- "present," how it can mean either the current time, or that someone or something is physically there, or it can be used as a verb to indicate that something is being put forth (and THAT usage extends to a noun meaning "gift"). All of these usages are related, but we usually don't even recognize those kinds of relationships. Being fluent is definitely not a matter of grasping every nuance. Remembering that helps me let it go and just read or listen.

  • He’s really good. The fact he can take one word we all use and make it funny is amazing.

  • Ismo is fantastic! He comes by a local free comedy show in LA when he's in town to try out new material and always makes the whole place laugh. Super nice guy, too!
