Fucking English, dumb language held together by tape and desperation.

Most languages don't need spelling lessons.

Some of them need extensive drawing lessons.

This must be Poe's Law, right? You can't be serious?

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Nope. I thought I went way over the top but that joke but.. not over the top enough apparently.

[-] Aethr@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I can never get the hate about /s when you see sarcasm taken seriously SO often

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

You'd think the comrade would have given it away.

All it takes is for a couple of people to get it wrong and downvote. Once people see the -2, it’s game on and they will downvote you to oblivion. I downvoted you too! But then I rectified.

I know the feeling... I've been there

This site is the epi-tome of people thinking they're smarter than everyone else, meaning they miss obvious jokes because they'd rather correct the person making the joke.

Nah, more like has stupid rules because of loan words. Just English them or make up your own lmfao. It's almost 7/8 of the reasons for anything that makes you go, why?

All languages loan words. Many languages don't have a problem mapping spelling to pronunciation.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Right? Fuck their original spelling. Just translate to your alphabet appropriately and fuck the rest.

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

Isn't for example "read" an original word? It's still messed up
