As some of you may or may not know, I study linguistics in my spare time because I'm a fucking nerd.

Not In any sense of the word. I believe you've made an excellent choice to take It on board, which can be used In many different forms.

For example, forensic linguistics which (although somewhat diverse) predominantly focuses on textual evidence to help solve a lot of cases that would otherwise be pending further Investigation. That In Itself, requires a very special skill set that not everyone can attain. Judging by your thread here, I'd say you'd succeed In linguistics as a whole.

A very well documented thread Indeed.
