My native language, Vietnamese, is the language of combinatorial configurations. The number of configurations you can make with our system of characters grows in a combinatorial way, creating too many of them and making the language hard to learn. We seem to be proud when we say “Phong ba bão táp không bằng ngữ pháp Việt Nam” (Thunderstorms are still better than the grammars of Vietnamese).Our language used to use the Chinese-similar characters, until the French Jesuit missionary and lexicographer Alexandre de Rhodes introduced us to the latin characters. We eventually adopted the latin alphabets, but we didn’t seem very happy with them so we created a lot of mutations, mostly on the vowels, making many new compound characters. Interestingly, every single one of these configurations is grammatically valid and leads to a unique sound.First, we associate the vowels with weird marks, creating: a, ă, â, e, ê, i, o, ô, ơ, u, ư. Each of these marks alters the pronunciation of the vowel.Next, we give them the accents. Each of the vowels-with-marks above can be accompanied by one of the 6 accents. Some of them were inspired from French, some from Chineseprimitive form, also known as the non-accent: a, ă, â, e, ê, i, o, ô, ơ, u, ưaccent aigu, inspired by French: á, ắ, ấ, é, ế, í, ó, ố, ớ, ứaccent grave, also inspired by French: à, ằ, ầ, è, ề, ì, ò, ồ, ờ, ừaccent question-mark, inspired by the third tone of Chinese: ả, ẳ, ẩ, ẻ, ể, ỉ, ỏ, ổ, ở, ủ, ửaccent tilde, probably taken from Portuguese: ã, ẵ, ẫ, ẽ, ễ, ĩ, õ, ỗ, ỡ, ũ, ữaccent dot, not sure where it comes from: ạ, ặ, ậ, ẹ, ệ, ị, ọ, ộ, ợ, ụ, ựSometimes, the letter y is used as a vowel, in which case it’s read like i. Not satisfied, we even mix them together, creating the compound vowels like: ua, uô, ươ, ưu, au, âu, iê, and many others. Each of these combinations can also take one of the 6 tones above. If you get me, the number of combinatorial configurations simply blows up.We also mix the consonants together, creating ch, ng, th, kh, etc.Ah, for once, we even mix one consonant and one vowel, making a consonantal sound gi. By the way, did I say anything about accents could only be put on vowels and compound vowels? No, this consonant combination can take accents too, but it’s the only exception.Thus, although we start with 26 characters, the mutation laws allow us to get to more than 200. From these compound bricks, we build words in a similar manner to Korean, where each syllable follows the model: [head consonant]-[vowel]-[tail consonant]. However, we eased our lives by letting them follow the linear order, for e.g. Việt Nam (V-iệ-t N-a-m) is how we actually write our country’s name. Similar to French, we silent the tail constants.We have three main dialects, spoken by people from the North, the Middle and the South. Unlike the Chinese, we don’t have too many problems understanding people from other regions. Many of us even enjoy making fun of the dialects of people from Middle Vietnam. It’s not consider offensive in our culture.Our language is rich. It’s sometimes referred to by our linguists as the language of music. Consistently, we do have many beautiful poems and songs.

I have always loved clever logo designs, and I've found a few for you:Tour de FranceCan you see it? The O,U,and R make an image of a man riding a bike. Pretty cool, huh?Bronx ZooThe legs of the giraffes outline the Bronx skyline.Continental TiresDid you find it? The C and the O make a tire!London Symphony OrchestraTake a minute to look at the whole picture. Once you see it you can't unsee it! The letters make a conductor with a baton.Newcastle Food and Wine FestivalThink about the title: Food and Wine are both shown, with the bottles of wine being silhouetted in the negative space between the fork’s tines.Edit: three more logos:ToyotaAs you can see, all the letters that spell out Toyota can be found in the logo!Hope for African ChildrenThis logo shows two pictures: the silhouette of Africa and an adult talking to a child. This one simply blows my mind every time I see it.Pittsburgh ZooThis logo shows “the tree of life” and in the negative space a gorilla and a lioness, and also some fish.I hope you enjoyed these logos, they've always been interesting to me!

Fergalicious. Fergalicious was one of my favorite songs when I was little. I don’t know what I really thought it was about, but I liked the rhyming and Fergie’s voice.

She would’ve been about my age now when I first heard it from her playlist. Goddamnit, Taylor.It’s still a damn bop, though.
