The smaller you get, the more bizarre things become.
The world as you know it ceases to exist.
Here there be monsters.

Same energy as Quinten Tarantino refusing to answer some questions about violence in media or using the N word in movies.
It's been asked a thousand times, you have nothing new to add to this discussion, we're moving on.
Guaranteed knockout, first time every time.
It works quite well against the cardies.
Hey that sounds like studying linguistics to me! ^Pun^ ^mildly^ ^intended.^
That's gotta be a bit of a gut punch though...
Hey look.
It's my shocked face.
Can you tell I'm shocked?
I'm going for "shocked".
😐
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.... 👉😎👉 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)
Don't tell me what to do!
