How do I do factorials on the word bad?
Them idiots
I wish, with every fiber of my being, that this is not real
Sadly, if my abusive step dad were still alive I absolutely can see him doing this
Wound’t going entirely gender neutral be progressive?
That’s what THEY want you to think.
Pronouns are a basic part of language. Getting rid of them makes communication way harder. Unless you speak Spanish, I guess.
Do you think we don’t use pronouns in Spanish? Because we absolutely do.
Nosotros
Don’t loop me into this!
I know they exist, it’s simply the fact that they’re not usually required in daily speech, since verb conjugation gives the context of the pronoun anyway.
Yes, they are required and used. First, verb conjugation has nothing to do with object pronouns. You always need those. Second, subject pronouns may not always be required but are used much more often than they are omitted.
It’s not good practice to comment with such confidence when you’re so wrong.
For subject pronouns, object pronouns are obligatory
Even subject pronouns are certainly used in everyday speech, even if less often compared to English.
Don’t objectify pronouns, weirdo.
The pronouns were asking for it, wearing that skirt!
Spanish pronouns are used mainly in the plain.
(Side note: I thought the original quote was something like “the rain in Spain falls mostly on the Spaniards,” but I can’t find anything to support that. Only today did I even learn that it was from a song.)
What song exactly?
Apparently, “The Rain in Spain.” (To be clear, I would not have known that before looking it up to verify the quote.)
The original lyric I was parodying was “the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.” (Which, again, I would have gotten wrong if I hadn’t researched it.)
And My Fair Lady is a remake based on the 1938 Pygmalion. I actually like the 1938 version better. All and all, Pygmalion is a play written by George Bernard Shaw back in 1912/1913.
And then, in 2000, the culmination of all that effort and culture: Pygmoelion.
Time to check it out.
I added more context to my original response. Hope you enjoy it!
Lol, wow. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Best troll: buy him a 5th grade grammar book for his bday/Xmas.
That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.
I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.
The mother has some question to answer when it comes to her BF choices.
I fully expect JD Vance to use an elementary school pronoun worksheet to suggest drag queens are grooming children.
There are pronouns in the fucking bible
that doesn’t count though. the bible got grandfathered in
There are actually people out there arguing that pronouns are evil because they “aren’t in the bible”
Even though Jesus literally said “I am he”
It’s even more surprising that there are pronoun in the regular “non-fucking” Bible
I wonder how he feels about you saying that.
Literacy is bad mmmm’kay?
/s (obviously)
I don’t know, have you seen how they are teaching math these days?
This liberal agenda is getting out of hand!! /s
They even use Arabic numerals! Shariah state!
We’d been using Arabic numerals forever. Pretty sure your parent is complaining (tongue in cheek) about New Math, because us millennial parents learned multiplication by memorizing a times table and we think that’s the only way to do it.
It makes sense, in terms of a long term education approach, because it teaches the other properties of arithmetic (like distributive or associative or cumulative) much earlier on, which IMO makes more difficult arithmetic far more approachable later on.
But it is weird as hell if you aren’t primed on it. They really should make a ditto for parents when they start doing it.
TIL grammar is an info-hazard.
That guy failed English literacy. Though… Honestly… Not surprising for a right wing American.
That guy is voting. Probably for the Nazi.
Probably? Probably at least twice.
Pretty sure pronouns didnt exist for him in school because he dropped out before they taught it to him
