Applied exolinguistics

I had thought, when I started watching the Academy Awards telecast last night, that it would be pure fluff, nothing more than a sometimes enjoyable evening of mindless entertainment.

But I was wrong. In fact, you can learn amazing things from the Oscars.

For example, I learned about a singer I had never heard of, named “Adele Dazeem”. At first I was confused by this. How could a singer become so famous that she is invited to sing an Oscar nominated song at the annual Academy Awards ceremony, and yet nobody has ever heard of her?

Eventually I was able to solve the mystery, by applying the exciting new science of exolinguistics to the problem. It turns out that “Adele Dazeem” is actually “Idina Menzel” in the Psychlo language.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that!
