Fucking English, dumb language held together by tape and desperation.
Most languages don't need spelling lessons.
Some of them need extensive drawing lessons.
+15 social credit and 1 catwife
Just 1? :(
At least then you know how to draw!
Nah, more like has stupid rules because of loan words. Just English them or make up your own lmfao. It's almost 7/8 of the reasons for anything that makes you go, why?
All languages loan words. Many languages don't have a problem mapping spelling to pronunciation.
Right? Fuck their original spelling. Just translate to your alphabet appropriately and fuck the rest.
Isn't for example "read" an original word? It's still messed up
Yeah, well how many of those language took us to the moon comrade?
A lot of them
German?
Which is basically one of the three dicks that got stuck in anglos to make english.
lol true
This must be Poe's Law, right? You can't be serious?
Nope. I thought I went way over the top but that joke but.. not over the top enough apparently.
I can never get the hate about /s when you see sarcasm taken seriously SO often
You'd think the comrade would have given it away.
lol seriously
All it takes is for a couple of people to get it wrong and downvote. Once people see the -2, it’s game on and they will downvote you to oblivion. I downvoted you too! But then I rectified.
I know the feeling... I've been there
This site is the epi-tome of people thinking they're smarter than everyone else, meaning they miss obvious jokes because they'd rather correct the person making the joke.
