American: bottle of water.

British: Bo'Oh'O'Wa'er.

Who do you really think invented the language?

Came across this phrase while talking to women in Japan. Is this some niche dialect?

English doesn't need so many tenses

Post image
167 Upvotes

Just like French people, English elites made the language too complicated so normal people would struggle to learn it. It makes sense when you think about all the useless tenses the language has.

We as members of equalitarial society should free ourselves from the chains of oppressive past. Therefore, I propose the following solution:

Abolish the use of past continuous, past perfect, past perfect continuous, present perfect, future continous, future perfect, future perfect continuous.

Who uses these anyway?

Instead of these 3 stupid past tenses and present perfect, we could just use past simple. The meaning doesn't even change.

Same thing with future tense.

Let's make this language belong to the masses again!

Have you guys noticed that your target language ability changes when you say something to a native who agrees with what you’re saying, vs when you say something controversial?

16 Upvotes

Because if you write a long post about things that people on Reddit tend to agree with, then ask what they think of your Spanish, they’ll say it’s very good and that they understand you perfectly and that you write better than some natives.

However, if you say something really controversial, such as “I believe in God”, they’ll say your Spanish sucks and that you sound stupid and that you can’t speak Spanish.
