You know you're a language nerd when…

[Teango]

When you notice "NO parabens" on your shampoo and conditioner, and think to yourself: both rude and misspelled!

[Iversen]

When you are irritated and feel almost humiliated because you couldn't learn to at least read Czech fluently in a month (too many other projects going on, including visits to some thirty museums in order to draw them plus some gardening, changes to a few hundred files in my photo registration system and other things - but most of all: lack of focus and a spine like boiled macaroni) . I didn't even expect to learn to speak that damned language, but just being able to read the stuff without a translation or a dictionary should definitely have been possible. Now I'll have go til Praha and creep along the walls after dark in utter shame like a contemptible analphabet just because I wasted that month doing other things..

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad that switching my VPN to Italy and my Google Chrome account to Italian means that YouYube gives me lots of adverts offering to teach me English and all them are in Italian. I got less of this when my Chrome account was set to Polish or Finnish.

One definite bright spot is that the latest update for Chrome allows me the option to translate YouTube video titles, descriptions and comments into Italian instead of automatically doing it.

Ah, but I know I'm a language geek when a website or operating system makes me chose a single language and then translates everything else into it, even from languages I already know... and language that I've listed in my account details at that!

Your passwords are pure hack-proof.

You're not frustrated by the complications of multilingualism; in fact, you kind of relish having problems no one else around you has.

And you feel even better when you realize how hard you worked to get those problems.
