I've only ever met a few native Germans in person, and understand just enough to get to the bathroom, so I don't know if I just misheard, or they're one of the few people who do say it that way.
I'll take any native German's word on their own language though! Lol or even anyone who's studied.
The whole point of that was to hilight how racist people like to call someone "educated" when what they really mean is "wow you sound white"
It was mocking the exact kind of person you seem to believe I am.
You're actually the first one to ever comment on the punctuation change. I've been waiting for this day for years.
So uh.... ๐๐๐ Zoop
1: holy shit that title is a.... It's something, alright.
B- if you spend extra money on top of normal costs on a game that's still not even released, you get what you fucking deserve.
I've internally been saying "eesh eel"
... which now seems like calling it "me earl'
I always love when cough "educated" people (usually just what they like to say when they mean "not black") go on about how "black people don't speak proper English!" because certain vowels can be dropped here or there, grammar shifts, the works. Most of us have heard AAE (also maybe heard it called "Ebonics" if you're a little older) at one point or another, and likely don't have an issue understanding what anyone is saying. A few things that skew more metaphorical or slang words might slip by but you get the gist.
That's the point of language. Convey information. If the information is conveyed, then language has done its job. Yay language.
If anyone wants to continue saying "it's not PROPER English" well... I have bad news for you. Neither is any other modern form of English. So many words have been borrowed, or stolen, sentence structures have changed, entire words change meaning. And that's just in the last 100 years.
English is an amalgamation of many different root languages, and has so many borrowed words and phrases, along with nearly every other modern language, can any of them still be said to be "proper"?
When I think of the difference between "proper English" and "improper English" I'm reminded of My Fair Lady. "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain" Eliza vs Henry Higgins (or 'enry 'iggins if you're feeling improper)
Cuba, the "dirty evil communist" country that only struggles because of a bullshit embargo placed on them by people who are dead and whose opinions are irrelevant to modern day?
The Cuba that churns out so many doctors, they basically have to leave the country to find work because they have so many doctors already?
The Cuba that, if I bothered to look at quality of life statistics would almost all point to "Cuba is a generally well run country but suffers because of trade bullshit"?
That Cuba?
Or you could try bringing up ~~occupied Palestine~~ "Israel", I'm sure you'll have your "gotcha" moment there!
You could also just replace all that with "It's a load of bullshit that data hoarding companies managed to convince EU lawmakers was a thing in order to legally hoard data they can't otherwise legally hoard.
Oops, accidentally transported a bomb into every IDF facility and Israeli government building due to a communication error.
Pinky promise it probably won't happen again.
As a regular cyclist who used to depend on a bicycle for all transportation, and who has been intentionally run off the road more than once, hit by a semi trailer, hit by two mirrors, and who carries a rock in the left pocket specifically to take out and hold for people to see me holding in the same way people hold bricks while crossing streets or puddles....
What the fuck no, that's insane.
What we NEED is integrated infrastructure that supports bicycles, and physical dividers separating bike lanes from car lanes.
What drivers NEED is a company that actually cares about them instead of the bottom line. Amazon is the exact opposite of that.
Lmao calling me a liberal is an insult
Miles Obrien understands the importance of a union, and the importance of the people who actually make the wealth for the owning class.
Miles Obrien also understands that fascists should be stopped at all fronts, including your precious dictator states.
I'm sure you'll use your spotlight to throw around more school yard insults about people's intelligence or political leanings, or post gifs or emoji, but all you'll get from me is pity.
Hey look.
It's my shocked face.
Can you tell I'm shocked?
I'm going for "shocked".
