When you put all three parts of these memes together, what's the secret message?

To repeat an interweb truism...

English isn't a language; it's three smaller languages sitting on each other's shoulders and wearing a long coat and a fedora.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

To repeat another interweb truism...

English is closer to Chinese/Japanese as a pictographic system, since there are so many exceptions to the phonetic rules, syntax, and grammar that govern it, that it's often easier to just memorize whole words and phrases, than to guess how to use them from alphabet alone

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And the other one:

"English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

It did come from England. So that tracks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Never heard that one, but it's true. When I need to spell a word I ask "does it look right?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You forgot the dark alley and truncheon...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a comment that you can use on pretty much any post on any subject.

"This is my mother's recipe for lemon zest cake..."

You forgot the dark alley and truncheon…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My mom forgot about the dark alley part though so it was public.

Yeah that's true but the English language is known for stealing words.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Counterpoint it's not theft if you're related and they clearly weren't using it. Also it's not theft if they stole something first, looking at you Japan stealing our swear words you fucking cock sucking bastards.

Wait till you notice the "ueue" in "queue"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

80% of the letters are silent.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

“kyu-ee-oo-ee”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

That's a good one too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

The letters are lined up in a queue

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every single q word has a completely superfluous u

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Qat would like a word, and that word is qat

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Qat did you say? I com hear you

Came to comment same. Though, I prefer “Oushen”

Auchan? 🇫🇷🇪🇺

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

At least it's not as f-d up as French where dudes casually ignore like half of the letters in a sentence.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Have you experienced Danish? They swallow more let's than the French by a metric mile

And do numbers over 80 even weirder

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Weirder than four twenty ten nine?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

90 in Danish (halvfems written) is based on the value 4,5 times 20 = 90. "Halvfems" is short for "halvfem-sinds-tyve" which means "4,5"-"times"-"20"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

This is why I found French confusing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tha mi an dòchas nach coinnich thu ris a’ Ghàidhlig

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I mean, it might be interesting. To be clear, I don't dislike French, it's quite fun, just weird at times

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well now I'm going to think of this randomly for no reason...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Enjoy your day! Bwahaha

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Spent far too long thinking how annoying that guys hair cut is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I enjoy how long the girls neck is in the final panel

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From now on, I'm going to call it the "Pacific ocean", where the first c is pronounced as "c" and the last one as "c".

Also what a missed opportunity to call it the pacifi-c! Get it? The pacifi-sea? I'm very funny I know haha I should start a standup comedy show I will earn millions and I will become rich and famous and make my homies proud. Baking a cake requires four ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder and grandma's heart. By heart, I mean her love. Not her heart actually. That will kill her. But she is already dead :( I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(.

I'm sorry. I don't speak Spanish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dude, that's clearly Romanian.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Sorry I'm American

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Don’t worry. Trump will rename it soon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

English is dumb. It's Pacifiko in Esperanto.

is it tài píng yáng, taepyeongyang or tai hei yo?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If you are Mainland Chinese (excluding Guandong Province), or Taiwanese, it's: tâi pʰíŋ jɒŋ

If you are Hong Konger, Guandong Province Resident, or just want to spite the CCP, it's: tʰa:i˧ pʰɪŋ˨˩ jœ:ŋ˨˩

(it's IPA btw)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Guys guys. Come on.
We don't know Spanish here.
