a thing I often get sniped into thinking about is the phenomenon of multilingual people leaking information about their native language when speaking in languages they acquired later
e.g. in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5oSy1Cik50, Clem repeatedly refers to oxalic acid as "oxal acid" and my mind immediately went to "is 'oxalic acid' 'Oxalsäure' in German?"
turns out, yep! language is a set of interacting systems and it's fun to think about the hidden implications of it
