I'm on my bed, I don't have a desk :)

So, let's list my obsessions:

Autism (yeah, you knew that)
Breastfeeding (a bit counterintuitive, but you knew that too, I'm sure)
Fighting against prescriptivism (tell me you didn't know that, just try!)
Correcting people's grammar/spelling (um....)
Walloon (this is why I say djusk' a sometimes.)

Now, I really do want to learn walloon. Really.

Unfortunately, ALL the resources about walloon are in French. Which would be useful if, y'know, I spoke French, but I don't... GAH!

Language of my ancestors, here, and I can't speak to my living relatives, so can I learn the language of my ancestors? Of course not! And it's going to take me forever to learn enough French to be able to learn Walloon! Expletive profanity cursewords!

Oh, and there's information about learning Walloon in Walloon. I don't see the logic.

Walloon is closely related to French, and when you look at the words it does often just look like rephoneticised French, but the languages began to split as far back as the 8th century and it was given its own name in the 16th. It has structural differences and has, naturally, taken influence from Dutch and German.
