This BBC doc about training Ukr men is pretty grime. Also, what sort of things does an Indian do to get called a chud? Is it just same stuff with US chuds?

Oh now I'm having flashbacks to talking to Tamils who insist that because "missile" sounds kind of like some old Tamil word for "flying" (or whatever it was), it's obvious that Tamil is the ancestor of every other language and they also invented everything back during our stone age. Nationalist fanatics have similarities everywhere, but the details are different in fun ways. (Though then again you have the "If English was good enough for Jesus it's good enough for the USA" people)

Where I can shoot you with an arrow from my bow. Or I can bow down to my lord and savior Jesus Trump. Or I can sit on the bow of my boat and enjoy the breeze. Or I can give you a nice package with a lovely bow on top. Or I can admire the lovely bow of a rainbow. Or I can listen to the beautiful music from a violinist stroking her bow across the strings.

Heteronyms and words with multiple meanings exist in pretty much every language and if anything the English language's wide and diverse vocabulary limits the amount of words required to have multiple meanings. My current favourite example is 'baguette' in French - wand, drumstick, bread, baton, incense stick, divining rod - all baguettes.

Heard people pick up English pretty well from people who speak it as a second language. Its the last 1% that catches people. Slang and words such as through/threw catch people out. By and large, non english speaking people speak the language much better than native speakers. At least they know when to use loving your and you're unlike 50% of Brits.

Yeah, fair - the weird anglosaxon/old french/greek+latin mixture gives you a broader palette to work with than most languages. I do love "baguette magique", though. Conjures up some vivid, if heavily stereotyped, images.

Pablo Bluth posted:The BBC have a new 1hr documentary out, Ready for War?. (VPN+Free account should work), following a group of Ukrainians through the five week training operation in the UK. It gives an insight in to what training they get, but mostly it's a fairly bleak, emotional gut wrenching story of people. I watched this tonight, thanks for the recommendation. Was pretty gut wrenching in places but well worth the watch. There's a good synopsis for those that can't for whatever reason: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/fcb44c76-a54d-4f12-84f9-1a900de09364

free hubcaps posted:The french saying "four-twenty" for 80 always tickles me Danish, too. It's especially weird since Danish is effectively identical to written Norwegian ca 1890, and feels familiar if old-fashioned, but then they randomly drop a "three and half fours" as if that was a reasonable way to say numbers. The idea is that "half [number]" means you're halfway there from the previous. (Probably why both languages read 06:30 as "half seven"). Then you multiply with 20, so half-fours is 3.5×20=70. Three and half fours is thus 73. For comparison Norwegian works like English here, our only weirdness is a dialectical fondness for putting the ones first ("three and seventy").

why are they doing that beach stuff? if it is makework to show superiors/someone up the chain that "something" is being done, is that meant to be passable work? someone must be looking at it and saying "yes, good". who would that someone be and why
