Why does he end all his statements with that, "thanks for your attention to this matter" so fucking dumb.

[-] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

English isn’t my native language, but to me it sounds like there should be an “on” in place of “to” there? Is it correct grammar? And if it is, does it still sound equally “wrong” to someone natively speaking English or is this some weird quirk of the second language experience?

[-] _skj@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I think either "to" or "on" would be acceptable in that context. English likes to use "to" with attention, like in the phrases "pay attention to" or "draw attention to", often emphasizing the change in focus. But you can also keep your attention "on" something.

As a native English speaker from the US east coast, I would probably have chosen "on". Just sounds better to me to use "on" instead of "to" when there is no associated verb like "pay" or "draw". Not sure why.

Not enough capital letters.

And way too coherent, grammatically correct, generally making sense.

It's always so obvious what he wrote himself and what some PR person wrote for him.

True. It doesn’t seem to be real if it doesn’t have capital letters in it.

And the lack of insults.

The fuck? Epstein, bitch!!

i liked 2014 when dan and phil were on the radio, wandavision was on tv, and we weren't living under the threat of ww3

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Meh. I graduated high school in '89. WWIII could have hit any day. Get on my level! :)

Honestly, I never thought we'd be here again and this threat is the strongest I've heard from any nation-state leader.

The 4d chess is looking too obvious at this point, right?
