then use “they”
After 30 years of education saying otherwise it is not so easy.
do you speak exclusively with yourself?
I don’t speak English with others at all. I’m not in an English speaking country.
your linguistic choices affect others
Having a hard time grasping completely new concepts is not a choice.
“I goes”. Incorrect “They goes”. Incorrect
You don’t understand that one is first person singular and the other is not? Is your basic English really so much worse than mine?
“He goes”. Correct.
“She goes.” Correct.
“It goes.” Correct.
“They goes.” Wrong. And that’s just confusing for people who never ever were taught that in any form of education. I know it’s an old construct and not a new innovation but for people like me it feels just off. It’s not malice on my part to act against different genders, I’m just explaining why that part of the English language is weird
Shit started hitting the fan when everyone started faking Netscape’s “Mozilla” user agent. Then “KHTML, like Gecko” and after that every fork kept the originating name in the string and extended it.
There was no way Germany could have “won” anyway, unless it resulted in literally conquering the entire world. They were in a state of constant “mission creep” (to use a modern term). Early it was “retake the land we lost in the first war”, then it was “Lebensraum im Osten”, then Africa, the entire Soviet Union, etc.
And English is imprecise for “you” as well. For he/she/it grammar at least doesn’t change. Substitute that pronoun for they and suddenly the grammar switches to plural. That totally confuses me.
You obviously understand English to a lesser degree than me. I nowhere wrote that I made demands to comply with me. Where on earth do you get that idea that offering a perspective is a demand?
“Busy”, “More busy than usual”,… Not absolute numbers.
So San Francisco just invented the webcam? (Btw, Google Maps already shows how busy establishments are.)
As a non-native speaker, I really have a lot of problems using a plural word as singular. When I read it, I always have to read twice to check whether one or more people are meant. I rather read and use “she/he” even with the additional typing.
As far as I can tell, his administration isn’t so bad overall (granted, compared to children in cages this is a low bar to cross). It’s not like he does every single job personally.
Considering that Biden’s main competitor is an actual neonazi and the USA have an undemocratic election system that disadvantages all but two parties, there’s pretty much no choice but the senile grandpa who’s not a neonazi.
Helps if you put the first definition as well. I would think that the use of the word as a glance is more common than male goose.
As a non-native speaker, I wasn’t aware of that second definition either but then I simply looked it up.
Pretty sure from Game Boy up to 3DS.
Take a gender at this*
No, it’s a play on words as is.
British politics are funnier anyway.
I’m not sure what a “music jukebox” is, and how it’s different from a music player, but I would recommend to try mpd.
A jukebox lets several people add a song to the playlist and yes, mpd is a solution for that where every event attendant could install a client on their phone.
What I was trying to say was that I’m happy to be free of Microsoft’s ability to just sunset an operating system version that I liked and replace it
I figure you weren’t a Gnome user during the 2.x to 3.x transition times.
Nobara is at least under my control in a significant way.
Yes but also Nobara isn’t an LTS distribution. Its versions get sunset way sooner than any major release of Windows.
I’m so happy to be able to end my reliance on Microsoft.
Microsoft is a frequent contributor to core Linux technologies these days. Lennart Poettering to Microsoft has probably been the most prominent move but there are others that work on Azure Linux and WSL who also upstream their work.
And yet the grammar attached with its use is plural and that’s super weird. “They goes to the store” is just wrong.
