It's sort of tough to decide what Trump believes.

He went from bragging about how he wouldn't get involved in Syria to bombing it on a whim.

spanish you can kinda understand because like english it's the primary language across half of the globe, but germans happily incorporate 'sorry' and other brief englishisms whenever they're useful to the situation. japanese has an entire character set specifically to make foreign words easier to integrate into the language, and the number of english and german knockoff words in common use has increased steadily over the last 2 to the outrage of approximately nobody

france is pretty unique in the amount of effort they exert to keep their linguistic tree fort to themselves

they do not


so long as they're french enough by the academy's subjective elitist standards lol

quote:

When Macron (who has been endorsed by Fillon and Hamon, but not, interestingly, by Mélenchon, who has said he won’t be endorsing anybody) wins in the second round — and he will — the next hurdle he’ll face is the parliamentary elections in June. No one knows how his fledgling party, En Marche! (echoes of Jeb!) will fare, but assuming that coattails and a honeymoon work their magic, enough of his team may make it into the National Assembly to form the nucleus of some sort of centrist coalition.

Macron! can fix it!

Because Wilders will never form a government and isn't even the biggest party in a very multi-party system, whatever you may think of the deleterious effects of his campaign on the public-facing narratives of VVD and, to some extent, the now-dead PdvA.

They don't necessarily function in the same manner as the Académie Française, or have the same objectives, but all 3 of those languages definitely have official governmental bodies that ostensibly exist to regulate/improve the languages- i.e. the Council for German Orthography and GfdS, the Association of Spanish Language Academies (and the sub-academies for all of the member countries), and the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs

Both of those exist, the council for orthography is the follow-on agency for the spelling reform debates whereas the society for the german language is the more historied general organisation afaik.

depends, do you consider kansas city 'american' or 'southern'

i ask because this is legitimately a point of contention among people who don't live here, basically no one from kansas city considers themselves southern but a lot of people i talk to consider us southern by virtue of having actual food and beer traditions and history beyond "a bunch of dudes had their covered wagons break on kinda the same patch of land, so"
