InappropriateEmote [comrade/them, undecided] - 4day

Yeah 😅 But if the bomb's instructions spelled it correctly, there would be no challenge for the diffuser. They should have gone with a sorta phonetic boo-zshwah-zee for the text in the comic.

To the tune of the Mickey Mouse Club song:

B O U

O I S I E

Bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie,

They're the ones who have to die

So we can all live free!

Bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie,

B O U!

It's not that hard look

  • Bourg - a town with no tax in the middle ages
  • Bourgeois - someone who lives in a bourg
  • Bourgeoisie - the whole of people who live in the bourgs

Just be born with the right first language!

The mask of humanity falls from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death… the sweetest, most courageous people in the world… You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know That the

Tangentially related question

Do you fucking say the r or not? I always say it with the r, but I've heard some people in my reading groups say it without the r.

The answer to this question will not make me say it differently, I just want to know if I'm being quirky or not.

5
barrbaric [he/him] - 3day

I think it depends on how french you want to be, with the r becoming more silent the more french you are.

Random-ass English spelling... Really tells you that English isn't the world language because it's inherently easy or makes sense with it's consistent spelling. Queue, pseudonym, lieutenant colonel... etc

idk i'd think plundering words from every other language would make it more global.

2
Korkki @lemmy.ml - 2day

English has so fucked up spelling mainly because it has nicked it's words from every which language and kept the original language's spelling and/or pronunciation for those particular words. In the end you can't know how every which words is written just by hearing it. Or can't make out a new words pronunciation with any confidence you see it in writing. Learning english is only somewhat better than learning Chinese characters, where there is no way to know how a word is spoken by reading the character or vice versa.
