I try to pronounce your you're differently. Yore vs yewer. Tricky out loud though. It's not a grammar thing to me. They are completely different words. Like "or" "oar" "ore", "red" "read".

Bombadilillo posted:I had a middle school teacher that was pedantic and it rubbed off on me and it took me a long time to get over it and stop telling people they were pronouncing words wrong. Example, Forte, when referring to a strength was originally pronounced "fort", the common usage was only for instruments. So went around as a little poo poo correcting people who said running was their forte. Took a while to get over that and a love affair with "A Way With Words" on NPR. Fort is masculine and forte is feminine , hth

I misuse that poo poo on purpose at those people knowing I am contributing the changing of language and trolling assholes. Actually it's people pointing out that idiots are using the wrong words and outing themselves as a moran. You went from being a pedantic bitch to a whiny bitch.

Bombadilillo posted:I know Im arguing with a dumb jpg. But if you look at how much language changes its crazy. 150 years ago you would have trouble conversing. 500 years ago you could not speak English. The speed at which slang becomes "official" is really fast and when people ignore 'rules' or the 'proper words' they go away really fast. Babbies first linguistics essay.

Languages traditionally change much more rapidly in urban areas versus rural ones. For example, Colonial American backwoods dudes spoke English much closer to the Shakespearean accent than Londoners during the same time period. A lot of the rhymes in Shakespeare's stuff don't work any longer in the stuffy "traditional" accent his works are performed in because the British accent has drifted so much over time. There's a few troupes dedicated to trying to reconstruct the proper accent for performances, so that's cool. The same goes for slang and neologisms, etc. In areas of dense population, those can develop, take hold, spread and then fall out of favor rapidly. By the time a slang term is old news in the city, it might just be starting to creep in on the periphery of the rural lexicon. With giant internet communities being connected and able to instantly message and respond to individuals, there's essentially very high density pockets where language is being pressure-cooked before being flung out into the general population. Soon we will all speak like moon people and movies from the 1980s will be nearly culturally and linguistically unintelligible to kids born in the 2080s. Or something

How can you get it to 0? I can't figure it out. It's like a reverse IQ-test I like the person who gets it right despite the potentially bogus order of operations

It's like a reverse IQ-test I assume they are adding and subtracting first then doing division and multiplication, the last bit gives you zero and then multiplying times that would give you zero as well.

"Only 2% of the world's population will <blanket term that describes everybody> and are considered a real genius! The other 99 % are scientifically proven to have never thought of this!" ZOmG that is so me! -type posts are my favorite. The narcissism is staggering. Reddit (I know, I know) has a subreddit called r/iamverysmart that's a real goldmine. It's pure digitized cringe. Some people are completely devoid of self-awareness

I know a dude who is always making fun of sharebait posts with me yet still got into a heated argument over the correct answer to one of those maths posts Also Facebook messenger is the shittest chat client ever. Why the gently caress are my only two options "receive no chat notifications" and "receive every stupid notification including those random 'billy mcdickface scored 10 points playing dickball' ones"
