If you use the wrong past tense all the time, that will definitely make you sound like a hillbilly.

Thanks!

Compelling argument.

Me too. It’s the one word that triggers something in my brain.

Oxford spelling, Oxford comma: what’s not to like?

Anything with a United Nations style spellcheck will sort it for you.

Depends on the tense.

I spell it wrong.

I have spelled it wrong.

I spelled it wrong.

I had spelt it wrong.

“I had spelled it wrong” sounds like a hillbilly.

Do you by any chance know where I could read a good introduction to Canadian English?

I can write fluently in UK and US English but Canadian sometimes has me stumped.

A billionaire tax haven where over 50% of the labourers are non-citizens?

That person is delusional. If North America were a group of Indigenous nations it wouldn’t have been a major immigration target for European refugees.

I am here because Germany went fucking nuts and bombed my homeland.

No, you’re there because the people already there decided to let your family in.

Them being in a position to let you in js a crucial factor. And the reason their society got to control that is because of what they had done to other people beforehand.

No one is asking you to feel guilt and no one is blaming you. But facts are facts.

they treat anyone outside of their bubble as an enemy

There’s the problem.

It might be you who needs to grow up. This is a weird knee jerk reaction.

Non Americans should be able to ask a question about America without being told to “grow up”.

It’s not childish to wonder how much Americans understand about how fucked up their choice of leadership is. We’re not psychic.

More like 2 and half fives.

Even worse! That would be an indeterminate number that starts at 7 and goes up by 2.5 increments depending on how many half fives there are (since in this version it’s not specified, but has to be more than one).

7, 9.5, 12, 14.5…

I love this. I thought English had some crazy aspects but this is next level.

Are we watching the same shitshow? He changes his mind more often than he changes his socks.

Starting a business based on the whims and promises of Trump would be rather foolish.

In his last presidency some of the industries amping for tarrifs just got their faces eaten.

That only makes it worse.

Two and a half fives = 12.5.

They also seem unaware that google deliberately serves them, specifically, tin foil results based on their watch history.

Assuming availability of goods and materials (which isn’t a given but let’s pretend it is) the friction there is set up costs in a fickle, unstable legislative environment in which tarrifs can be withdrawn at any time.

White House at Bernie’s

Ironic really that this is what we got. Bernie at White House would have been a lot better.

He looks like an old man trying to take a dick pic.

Musk looks like the sandwich trolley guy telling people about the specials.
