I have my iron supplements at work and yesterday I had three left so I told my colleague I was taking the antepenultimo one he said that’s not a word we used I said but I do because I’m a #linguist <3

#we mostly use it when we talk about the third syllable from the end of a Latin word is stressed #I mean in reality in any language unstressed or not too but I’ve mostly seen it in that context #snicksnack #I’ve had a few linguist moments recently in general #yesterday because I thought I saw art related to il placito capuano (it was not it was math lmao)#and the other day when I was like what is this prescriptivist and my colleague said lol Ida just knew that word and I said oh…#✌🏻
