  • People who are learning a foreign language: what are you learning & how is it going?

    Jump

  • Well I think it's cool! I studied Russian at uni and I'm taking Japanese evening classes at the moment, so I know both the struggle and the joy of learning both.

  • Why are people using the "þ" character?

    Jump

  • No worries! Sorry if I came across as overly abrasive about someþing þat doesn't really matter, I just really dislike misguided prescriptivism

  • Why are people using the "þ" character?

    Jump

  • Stop talking about the "correct" usage. This is an idea based on how it's used in one particular context. Eth and thorn were used interchangeably by English scribes for centuries, so there's nothing wrong with using thorn exclusively.

  • Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??

  • Not just single books. Single chapters.

  • YSK When you hover over a piece of the phonetic notation on (English) Wikipedia, it shows you an example for its pronunciation

    Jump

  • Well that makes no sense. If your view is that "it's an acronym or it isn't" then you pronounce it as individual letters or as a word. But the reality of language is much messier than arbitrary rules people come up with. If people pronounce it as if it's a word in its own right, that means that's how it works. Just as with laws of physics, if what we observe contradicts the rule, the rule was wrong.

  • Thinkpad meme

    Jump

  • Manjaro my beloved

  • 'Read' and its past tense are spelled the same. How should they be spelled?

    Jump

  • The problem is the spelling, not the language. But the problem with spelling reform is that it necessarily favours certain dialects over others so you can never please everyone.

  • TTC is alruledy 0xA

    Jump

  • Basically there's no proofI watched this a while ago so I can't remember everything, but I think essentially it boils down to someone having suggested the idea that it could have been a cosmic ray and the idea was propogated by memes and YouTubers as fact, even though there's no proof and the odds of it being a cosmic ray are astronomically small, pun intended.

  • Can a meme be considered art?

    Jump

  • I would argue everyone can be an artist. In my opinion at least it's more of a matter of effort and passion than talent, although of course talent helps you to achieve your artistic vision.
