Does the English translation for the subtitles not make sense? Or is it the plot/the trailer that doesn’t make sense?
- Comment on Duolingo Cuts 10% of Contractors as It Uses More AI to Create App Content 10 months ago:
My kids and I already get frustrated with finding things we know are wrong. However, we don’t know what we don’t know; what things are wrong that we don’t realize are wrong?
Their quality control for certain languages was already pretty bad, even with reporting all of the wrong thing we find. I have mostly stopped using Duolingo because I don’t want to be their QA team. I also don’t want to get to the point of thinking I am decent at a language just to find people don’t know what I am saying when I use words that are just English words in the target language alphabet that are not actually used in conversation.
화이트 헤어, for example, is not the actual way to say white hair, it’s just a “decoration English” loan word. They should absolutely teach the native words first, and only teach trendy, conditional use loan words much later in the courses, if ever.
I am wondering how much worse it will be now. This could really bite them in the butt.

I searched for “colored Willies” to see what that would look like. It was not what I expected.

- Comment on Immune to marketing 1 year ago:
I almost never remember the brand from advertisements, even if there’s a funny one people talk about. “Oh, it was Tide? But it had nothing to do with laundry.” It’s odd how so many ads leave you going, “What were they even trying to sell?”
