How do you think that a possible Germanic-root version of the word 'linguistics' would be in English? 'Linguistics' has of course a romance root but, I don't why, I wish this word had a Germanic one 🤣 Actually, I came to think of this by looking at way German makes words because I knew the word 'Naturwissenschaft' (science). I don't know any German, but it (as well as English in some cases) has got this way of merging basic words to make more complex ones, in this case we've got 'Sprachwissenschaft' (although there's also the version 'Linguistik'). Now, I've come up (also by taking inspiration from the Wikipedia Ænglisc page of the entry 'linguistics': sprǣccræft) with 'sprackcraft', 'sprachcraft', 'spraccraft', 'speechcraft'. What do you think? I can't wait to read your responses!

Here in Italy we have bachelor's degrees called 'Lingue e letterature moderne' (modern languages and literatures). How are this kind of courses called in English-speaking countries? Also, here, at university level, we usually study two languages. I'm saying this because I know that, for example, in Spain they study only one language and their courses are called like 'Filología inglesa/francesa/árabe/etc.' (English/French/Arabic/etc. Philology), so I was wondering how it works in the Anglophone world. I'd like to ask the same question for courses related to (intercultural) communication, for example my Master's degree is called 'Lingue e comunicazione interculturale in area euromediterranea' (languages and intercultural communication in the Euromediterranean area). I know that if I wanted to tell someone about my studies I should tell them the exact name of my degrees, but I'm not looking for this. I'd just like to know what would be some equivalent in English. I'd be glad if you told me if there are some kinds of official acronyms too, for both of the degrees mentioned? Thank you in advance.

Committed or single? With regard to English-speaking countries, if you have been in a relationship with your boyfriend/girlfriend for 2 months, or even 1 year and more, are you considered committed or single? I mean, no ring on it, just dating and mutual faithfulness.

Is 'realness' really a word? I mean, there's no entry in the dictionary for it. I know its LGBTQ+ background context, but can it be considered an actual word?

Make, have or get sb feel sth? I was thinking about causative verbs and I know you use: -'make' to say that you've been forced to do sth -'have' to say that you've been requested to do sth -'get' to say that you've been persuaded to do sth Now, I was wondering what was the right verb to use with 'feel'. I know the expression 'make sb feel sth' is very popular but, considering the forcing of this causative verb, I've begun to have some doubts. Can I use 'feel' with verbs other than 'make'? And is there any difference in meaning? I thank in advance anyone willing to help me <3

Has the expression "good-time Charlie" got a good or a bad acceptation?

Titolo tesi! Ho ideato il seguente titolo per la mia tesi "Radici e Angloidentità Linguistica Globale". Però non sono sicuro se mettere un trattino e scrivere "Anglo-identità".

Do you think the sentence below is correct? "What did you think wishing upon a piece of space-dust burning up in Earth's atmosphere through a GIF would do anyway?"

Citazioni in lingua originale per la tesi Se devo citare una frase o anche solo una parola in lingua originale, devo usare sia il corsivo sia le virgolette? Il mio cervello va un po' in tilt perché sto citando, quindi ci vogliono le virgolette, ma sto anche usando una lingua diversa dall'italiano, perciò ci vorrebbe il corsivo. Non so se sia corretto usare entrambe le cose. Aiuto!
