Its literally the best language in existence and why everyone of any education learns it. Its the language of science.

Like if you want to explain a new scientific concept or technical term in Mandarin or a moon language you have to improvise. Instead of just using a new word, they have to say poo poo like "whispering moon hiding inside the sun changes" for the new thing. It might work fine for the native speakers but its impenetrable to foreigners. So we use English.

Drunkboxer posted:The "h" thing is actually you lame-os adorably freaking out about trying to not sound lower class and shoving the h sound in where it wasn't before. What, you mean like shoving the h sound at the beginning of the word when there's a h at the start of it? Like herb? Also, how do you feel about the words knackered, knave and know?

Anyone who unironically says "aloo mini umm" in their daily life is a bad person.

they're trying their best u should be more empathetic imagine if ur parents shattered a light bulb over ur bumpy domepiece as a kid and then collected the loose shards and peramnently jammed em up in ur gums and that's how u had to talk forever and the best u could do is grind them down a bit on ur gay cobblestone roads because looks dont' really count when no one leaves the house lest they catch the mildew plague or whatever poo poo festers in that godless nation

jBrereton posted:Nah you guys turned it into a really spiteful gendered insult, so you can't use that word, imo. True. "Baz? He's a good oval office." "hahaha, you're a funny oval office!" "Oi, it's your shout, oval office." It grinds my gears when seppos try to use Brit/Aus slang.. it just sounds horibble. So, just don't do it.

I once watched a British man spell "nigga" like you would spell the n word (not the phrase "the n word," but the n word).
