I'm starting to see why America hasn't won a war in like 100 years.

It's pretty embarrassing when you starve your people just to have the world's most expensive army... only to constantly lose. Lmao.

So the ukies' previous attempt at owning Putler by calling the country "Muscovy" instead of Russia didn't catch on?

I am once again reminded of the scene in Barefoot Gen where the Japanese public is instructed to step on caricatures of Churchill and Roosevelt painted on the sidewalk and the dad thinks the whole thing is pathetic

Ukraine are not the standards authority for the English language.

Who would you say is the standards authority for the English language?

It's me. I am

None. English is not a prescriptivist language.

TBF it does annoy the shit out of me when people write Russia with lowercase. Some people do it here, on the 'Grad and Hexbear and it's annoying

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

I often do it because it's an annoying custom in english to capitalize some nouns and not others. america, china, russia, australia all recieve lower cases because I don't care to hit the caps key.

If my autocorrect doesn't do it for me I don't care about capitalization or apostrophe's. Also I won't correct it when its wrong. Commas are used if I feel like it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I generally do care about apostrophes and commas because they are useful to show the delineation of my thoughts. They do serve an actual purpose. Capital letters, although useful for starting sentences or capitalizing "I" for the first person pronoun, don't represent an actual linguistic concept, just a formality in English to make some words seem more important. Other than that it's only worth anything to distinguish polish and Polish, and even then context does the job better.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
