Seriously. It’s never helpful to be smug and condescending about spelling and grammar. When I offer correction, I always make sure to be strictly factual and polite wherever possible, because sometimes people just don’t know the difference.
i dont mind getting corrected. what i hate is ppl telling me that my spelling or punctuation sucks without offering any corrections. this is especially great when they use this to discredit me
I thought that correcting spelling or grammar at all is ableist and condescending. If you can understand what they meant at all, then leave it alone. At least, that’s what I get told.
I’m all for that until it comes to words like lose and loose. They’re not even close to the same thing and I will call you out for it.
That being said I’m not gonna be a dick about it
Whoever says that is incorrect in general, though there are specific scenarios where it is needlessly discriminating and just wrong – such as trying to correct dialects (think color/colour).

That’s so funny 😂😂
I can totally understand. Everything about English is difficult.
lol
from all the languages I know, english is the easiest one
i dunno man, i started learning indonesian, that one is really really simple, or at least it is so far. the verb ‘is’ is pretty much always implied. plural? just say the same noun twice.
and some of the words are awesome. For example. the word “sock” is “kaus kaki” which literally translates to ‘hand shirt’. i love it.
well, I don’t know indonesian, so I can’t say anythig on the matter
I don’t think that English is that hard. It has very easy grammar, you don’t have to mess with genders and it has a straight forward sentence structure. Other languages like german, are much harder to learn.
yeah, i’m from Ukraine, and at some point our study program has tried to fit in our poor heads some A1-A2 german, so I can relate. Needless to mention that i can’t say a word in german, all knowledge of it has been forgotten by me as some kind of lovecraftian unspeakable horror :D
German is a hell to learn. The same word can have different articles depending on the kasus. As example: “Er geht in DIE Küche und kommt aus DER Küche heraus”. Its very hard to understand this as a non native speaker.
Again, the difficulty of language acquisition is determined by how similar the new language you are trying to learn is to the languages you already speak. There isn’t any kind of objective measurement of language acquisition difficulty.
For whatever reason people are often very resistant to this fact, but just speaking several languages fluently doesn’t mean you actually know shit about linguistics, and this is a very well-established concept.
So a native Mandarin speaker would probably find English and German equally difficult to acquire because they are both so unlike their own language.
Fun fact about English; Old English was even more grammatically complex than modern German but it got stripped down over the years and now accomplishes through syntax much of what it used to do with grammar.
There are also a couple of very odd qualities to English that may have come from the Celtic languages, but the idea is still pretty controversial.
nah JavaScript is easier
So from all of your experience of knowing one language?
nice joke, but no, i know 4.The toughest for me personally is czech.
I swear every single time someone mentions language or doesn’t explicitly say where they’re from someone will fight you saying that you only know one language and one culture and you can’t possibly know anything else lol
well there are some stereotypes about americans, and there are also lots of people in the world that don’t know any languages other than their native ones, so I guess I can see where it’s coming from.
I’m more referring to where you say you obviously know more than just English, and someone tries to fight you about it. That only comes from bad intentions.
Whatever you call it, but to me it seems simply as a rather not so funny, but still a joke without any implied hostility. People are not as malicious as you think, untill it’s the matter of politics of course.
The problem is that speaking different languages is not even remotely the same thing as knowing anything about linguistics. People have no idea of how little they actually know about the use of language.
I’m honestly not sure about how people would go about learning a language without getting so involved that you inevitably catch all of that, I’ve never thought about it.
Russian is easier
Languages are “easier” or more “difficult” based on how similar they are to your native language. There isn’t some objective measure of difficulty across languages.
Same
Is there a programming language equivalent for this?

Are you also too lazy to learn name of the official specification and capitalisation?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

While there is indeed no punctuation, nothing is misspelled. Also, “Understandable, have a nice day, sir.” contains incorrect punctuation in the form of a comma splice.
The first too is misspelled. It should have two Os.
Just like your mom had last night.
That’s fair. My mom passed away last year which just means that you’re even that much more correct.
That said, I’m in my 50s so both my parents are dead which is pretty regular at my age.
I’m still getting used to not having parents, but at my age it’s to be expected and probably easier than it would be were I younger.
OMG, I’m so sorry!
Good catch, I totally missed that.
