I am a computational linguist ... these are the mad scientists who try to teach computers to communicate ... actually, it doesn't work ... that's why people think I am very frustration-tolerant ... well, I know lots of things unable to communicate: toasters, fridges (even though boozed sometimes seem to think fridges can), t-shirts, which is a pity! I would very much like my t-shirts to tell me that I lost weight ... but no way ... honestly, THIS is much more frustrating than the dumb computers ...
