Yeah but there are also norms.

Could you say "Merry Birthday!" Sure. Should you though?

Same thing here. It works. It just feels off.

I recently learned that this is actually used in the UK.

it feels off, to you. it feels fine to me. does that make me dumb or am I just a different person with different thoughts and feelings than you?

No you're dumb because you're different obviously /s

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Doesn't make you dumb, but it could make you seem dumb like pronouncing the "L" in salmon.

might start doing that just for fun

Sometimes it bloesn't to be.

That's "yes you're totally right" in my new made up language and if you call it the obviously dumb crap it is, it's because you're inflexible
