You know he couldn't math that himself.
I'm sad that you Englished that.
"Verbing words weirds them"
THAT'S the one I was looking for!
Watterson created a masterpiece with that series, that's for sure.
Sold it to no one, and left. What a guy.
Let's history that, and see what you did yesterday.
How fast is that bird falling? I'll physics that on my calculator.
You're really on a roll with all of this pedanting.
Shakespeare verbed nouns all the time. Language should be enjoyed, not bound.
Yes, you can enjoy language by making it shit. I'll be dead eventually, so I'll stop caring.
Language, especially the English language, has been changing since its inception. Every generation of youth is another generation that uses new words, abandons old words, changes the meaning and/or pronunciation of recognized words, and so on. It’s the nature of a living language - its usage adapts through time.
It’s crucial to remember that just because something is “different” from what you’re used to, that doesn’t make it “worse.”
why aren't you speaking Old English?
Because I'm speaking the English I learned as a child, and I wasn't alive then.
but how can you stomach this disgusting, bastardized version that barely resembles the original language? surely as someone who cares about the language so much, you would make an effort to speak proper English, not this enshittified version.
Because everything I was born with, country, language, system of measurements, was obviously the best, as evidenced by the fact that I was born with it.
Thanks for your concern, I'll file it with the other times strangers have tried to insult me but have been terrible at it.
where's the insult? I'm just following your logic. if you find that insulting that's not on me tbh
Just learn and speak Latin or Klingon or something. Those are much less likely to change.
True, languages change through use.
