Holy moly, did you respond to the Tildes demographic survey? I was wondering who the second person was to indicate Belgium as their location.
Expat w/Belgian spouse headed in the Flanders direction after living near the capital. For the life of me I cannot pronounce the "musical" G's (it ends up as an exhaled "huh") of the local dialect.
I'm told the Flemish Dutch is more "musical" as in some consonant sounds are less harsh than the Dutch spoken in the Netherlands. As a native English speaker, Dutch overall has some common...
I'm told the Flemish Dutch is more "musical" as in some consonant sounds are less harsh than the Dutch spoken in the Netherlands. As a native English speaker, Dutch overall has some common elements for surface reading and looks similar to German with a lot more i's and j's in there.
I learned how complex the Dutch G sound is when I tried to ask a fellow passenger waiting which commune "Geen Dienst" was located in since an idling bus had that on its lit marquee sign. Probably never going to live that down no matter how much Nederlands I study, lol.
Wow. I think you do. As far as I've seen in this thread, I thought I was the oldest person here, being middle-aged and older than the 43-year-old. But you beat me by a significant margin (a couple...

But you beat me by a significant margin (a couple of decades, give or take). Welcome to the future, you old fogey! Us whippersnappers will try to stay off your lawn. :P
Are you asking where we're from, or whether we know ASL? The wording of your question is a little confusing to me... Edit: To answer the question, I'm 19, a guy, and currently live in Hawaii,...

ASL is shorthand for Age, Sex, Location - most generally written as something like 18/F/CA or 26/M/Ireland. Although, if you know sign language that would also be an interesting demographic.

You might be interested in this survey done a couple of weeks ago, when we had 1,000 fewer tilders (although only about 400 people replied to the survey).

Thanks! Glad to see that this may be a re-occurring survey. I'd say monthly at first then quarterly would be the best schedule for something like this.

For now, everyone who signs up to Tildes is automatically subscribed to all groups and sub-groups. People will obviously unsubscribe from some of those groups, but I assume that the sub-group people are least likely to unsubscribe from is ~tildes.official. Currently, there are 3,460 subscribers in ~tildes.official. I'm therefore safe in saying we have at least that number of people on Tildes in total, and I can reasonably assume that there are probably not too many more people here than that.

I'm relatively young (teen) female in South East England! Also, hopefully people realise that by sex they mean gender not intercourse, because it seems that many don't xD

The users who don't are probably born after 2000ish as ASL was a common chatroom abbreviation to "open" a conversation with someone. Or they are just making funnies!

"Only". Honestly, that's a pretty good response rate.

Just out of interest, how do you know how many people have joined? What's the current total?
