Budding Jordan cyber love ends in divorce [through ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dubaiwalla]. That is the funniest internet love story I've heard of in a long time.

I was reading ahead in my linguistics book and I came across the chapter on Amerindian languages. There was a listing of Algonquian languages, and their number of speakers left in Canada:
Cree 55,000
Ojibway 40,000
Montagnais-Niskapi 5,000
Blackfoot 4,000
Micmac 3,000-5,000
Malecite 250
Potawatomi 100
Delaware 5-10
Abenaki 10
I just started crying silently in the library. I'm very tired so I'm much more prone than usual to crying (and I'm probably more prone than most people, although I generally keep that private), but still. I mean in the same chapter I've seen tons of languages that have been dead for a good while, so why bother about those dying languages?
Anyway.
