  Yup

  This entire thread is /c/badlinguistics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tune a fish⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Americans languages do love redundancies.

  Do you have a source for him going off on people on set? I’ve looked around a bit but can’t find anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, turned out it’s just nepotism as usual. The woman’s husband personally knows the police chief.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If your husband is personally friends with the police chief, yes.

  Oh wow, flashbacks to freshman year of college.

  TIL bones have gender.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, but their products don’t work as well, don’t work for everyone, or have other downsides. Banting’s original insulin would be dirt cheap today, but it’s shit compared to what we have now, so the best products on the market today charge a premium for either efficacy or convenience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stupid sexy raft⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.

  Major Payne already taught us that this works:

  “They hate you!”

  “Good. It’ll draw them close together, make 'em a team.”

  Yeah I can always stand to put another thousand hours into Monster Hunter World.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's always been women in STEM.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, never let a pesky thing like the truth get on the way of a good story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes a girl⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t either - it’s probably just as arbitrary and socialized as boob size preferences. Maybe someone here with a background in sociology or anthropology can shed some light?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes a girl⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I get it. It’s much harder to acknowledge the biases you’re showing in this comment and be a force for positive change than it is to just reflexively lash out at the messenger.

  Until that happens though, the problem will remain, and you’ll remain a part of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's OK to just like lemon water.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of “beef milk” from Parks and Rec.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes a girl⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, that’s actually what happens though. Two weeks ago my wife and I were setting up two friends of ours on a blind date, and literally her first question was “how tall is he?” She of course got pissy when I asked what I should tell him when he asked about her weight.

  The manosphere is only able to capitalize on this rhetoric because it’s largely based in truth. Hashtag not all women, but enough of them for practically every guy under six feet to have a rejection story for being too short.

  Hell, I got rejected back in college once because I apparently have an ugly nose. To act like stuff like this isn’t happening to guys literally every day is being willfully ignorant. Rules 1 and 2 exist for a reason.

  Someone read Manufacturing Consent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wendnesday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, yeah, quite possibly, good catch. I suppose it could be either assimilation to final -t before it dropped off, or final nasal merger to -n, a la Greek. I’ll check and report back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wendnesday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This type of analogy is specifically called series contamination, where items that frequently are pronounced together in a series affect each other. Also happened in proto-Germanic with the ‘n’ in ten, from the ‘n’ in nine (and in the opposite direction of Latin novem and decem; cf. nonus “ninth” to see the original ‘n’).

  Also probably at least partially responsible for the common American pronunciation of Wednesday, based on Tuesday.
