  Oh yeah I loved OneShot, good to see others playing it

  I also did all the runs and all the achievements, so I don’t have much to do anymore

  I played world machine edition so I might have missed out on the full experience, but I think WME did a fairly good job at emulating everything

  I don’t know if this is exactly how it works in Irish Gaelic, but in Scottish Gaelic the reason there are so many silent letters is because of vowel combinations, broad and slender consonants and lenition

  The Scottish Gaelic equivalent of that phrase would be “Thig ar latha” i think, which funnily enough I don’t think contains any silent letters

  Yeah i had a really bad feeling about this post, it’s an actual language spoken by actual people who have been historically discriminated against, not just “weird english”

  The reason creoles look like weird english sometimes is because they’re the mixture of multiple languages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, a lot of european languages have a three gender system: masculine, feminine and neuter

  Proto-Indo-European, the language which most European (and some South Asian languages) originate from, had a three gender system

  Even English used to have a three gender system before it disappeared in the Middle English period

  Despite the name, the neuter gender tends to not be used for people, although in some languages (such as Polish) the use of the neuter gender to refer to non-binary people is gaining traction
