As a non-native, fuck that word

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As a native, fuck that word. I also dislike spelling the word convenience.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Well...That is very convenient.

Acquaintance is that word for me. I just type 'aqu' and my phone handles the rest. God help me if I ever have to write that down without access to the internet. I also let my phone handle 'necessary' because I never know how many c's and s's there are and where they go.

You guys really have to stop starting weeks on the wrong day.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're right, Woden the All-father should be first.

On Thursday? But I like Thor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That's fine, we all like Thor.

I like how there are days for the sun and the moon, a bunch of nordic gods and then Saturn for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

It wasn't enough that he got Saturnalia

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

They were all celestial bodies. The rest just got more myth attached to them. The Norse names are all sort of kinda mostly the equivalents of the Roman counterparts, and those are famously where we get the names for the planets.

Sunday

Moonday

Mercuryday

Jupiterday

Venusday

Saturnday

Ther wasn't a great Norse version of Saturn, so it just kept its name. Even as it is, some of those conversions are pretty flimsy.

I'd have still read it like that even without the dashes 😂

Honestly, if you don't say/think it like that your life is sad and I pity you with the utmost sincerety 😤🫶🏻.
