Shadow0 posted:I once did exactly this. I knew their response before I even said it, and I'm not sure why I said it, so it was kind of surreal. It doesn't imply that at all. It implies you are a critic of something you've never attempted to produce. The purpose of the comment is to either get you to shut the gently caress up, make art of your own, or to engage with the piece as if the artist didn't have you specifically in mind (which they probably didnt).

hot cocoa on the couch posted:it is very easy to say it properly using english phonemes But there's already an English version of it, so it's a moot point. There's lots of words that are easy to say in other languages and everyone still has their own versions of them. "Hartal" is super easy to say in English, but I never hear it used in Western countries. People go for "protest" or "demonstration." Yet if you refer to a hartal as a protest, you are still correct.

the problem with literally is that people have been misusing it in the same way for 250 years, which is longer than some of the words y'all are pedantic about and/or pedanted at about have even existed in English. but the word becoming a contranym is pretty loving weird

Anyone who defends the mistakes in this thread by invoking the principle of common usage  It can't be common usage if everyone knows it's wrong.

raspurtin posted:I am the person who replies "well" when asked how I am. is this supposed to be about the usage of "good" (adjective) vs. "well" (adverb or adjective)? because in your example of "how are you?", the verb is "to be" and should be used with an adjective. "i am good" would actually be a correct response. "i am well" would be correct too, but only the adjective form of "well". the adjective definitions of "good" and "well" may differ slightly, but not enough to cause confusion. the pedantic grammar issue would be relevant if instead someone asked "how are you doing?". in that case you'd need to use an adverb, so "i am doing well" would be correct but "i am doing good" would not.

I hate the use of "premise" instead of "premises", to refer to a place. Even NBN, Microsoft, other cloud providers and IT services companies get this wrong more often than not.
