jackI'm sure I remember someone telling me, ages ago, that the penguin language on Pingu was reverse-Finnish or speeded-up Finnish or something. Apparently not, it's specifically made up to be penguin language in traditional make-it-sound-like-a-reach-language techniques (see link on FB).
Unfortunately, I apparently heard the other version before I got sceptical about that sort of thing. And once I've written something to my long-term memory without any caveats, there's no way of globally tagging everything I learned more than 15 years ago with "caution", or noticing the date on facts I recall. They all just look like facts.
The best I can manage is to re-examine them when they come up for some reason, but it's always running a bit behind, I start saying it, and then say "hang on, I just remembered, I have no idea if that's true..."
