I named them all "John".

As a computer linguist: ^.*$

Should include all English words, maybe some foreign ones too

[–] Fisherswamp@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This catches sentences too

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Especially sentences

My regex powers aren't strong enough, will that catch words with hyphens in them?

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, this catches just anything, hyphens, digits, spaces, ...

Not so cunning, Mr. Linguist?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Every word.

I was gonna do it, but does ą go before or after ä, ā, or å alphabetically?

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In swedish, ä, ö and å come at the end of the alphabet

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neat :3.. I honestly don't know where they are in other alphabets, lol, im just going by my own for the joke. In lithuanian the letters with diacritics follow after the letters without a ą b c č d e ę ė.. so on :3

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In German they have the same weight. Mostly, I guess with everything else being equal ä comes after a.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

And "ß" is sorted as if it was "ss". Some will sort "ä" as "ae" and so on but that's uncommon

[–] shatterling@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

Oh I'm too cunning to fall for that

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Just a proser.

Thanks, 'bout to own my philologist "ex-wife" via a meme text.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

"You're divorced??"

"Not yet."

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I bet Nigel Richards can, up to 15-letter ones anyway. Probably in French and Spanish too.

[–] hakase@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

A significant number of linguists believe that words aren't real, so...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Noun.

I'll take my prize now.

All 1,578,939 of them (English)? No, just the 470,00 common usage ones.
