When you put all three parts of these memes together, what’s the secret message?
To repeat an interweb truism…
English isn’t a language; it’s three smaller languages sitting on each other’s shoulders and wearing a long coat and a fedora.
To repeat another interweb truism…
English is closer to Chinese/Japanese as a pictographic system, since there are so many exceptions to the phonetic rules, syntax, and grammar that govern it, that it’s often easier to just memorize whole words and phrases, than to guess how to use them from alphabet alone
And the other one:
“English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary”
It did come from England. So that tracks.
Never heard that one, but it’s true. When I need to spell a word I ask “does it look right?”
You forgot the dark alley and truncheon…
That’s a comment that you can use on pretty much any post on any subject.
“This is my mother’s recipe for lemon zest cake…”
You forgot the dark alley and truncheon…
My mom forgot about the dark alley part though so it was public.
Yeah that’s true but the English language is known for stealing words.
Counterpoint it’s not theft if you’re related and they clearly weren’t using it. Also it’s not theft if they stole something first, looking at you Japan stealing our swear words you fucking cock sucking bastards.
At least it’s not as f-d up as French where dudes casually ignore like half of the letters in a sentence.
This is why I found French confusing.
Have you experienced Danish? They swallow more let’s than the French by a metric mile
And do numbers over 80 even weirder
Weirder than four twenty ten nine?
90 in Danish (halvfems written) is based on the value 4,5 times 20 = 90. “Halvfems” is short for “halvfem-sinds-tyve” which means “4,5”-“times”-“20”
Tha mi an dòchas nach coinnich thu ris a’ Ghàidhlig
I mean, it might be interesting. To be clear, I don’t dislike French, it’s quite fun, just weird at times
Wait till you notice the “ueue” in “queue”
80% of the letters are silent.
“kyu-ee-oo-ee”
That’s a good one too
The letters are lined up in a queue
Every single q word has a completely superfluous u
Qat would like a word, and that word is qat
Qat did you say? I com hear you
Pasifik Oshen.
I’m sorry. I don’t speak Spanish.
Dude, that’s clearly Romanian.
Sorry I’m American
Pasifik Oshean
Came to comment same. Though, I prefer “Oushen”
O’Shawn
Auchan? 🇫🇷🇪🇺
Spent far too long thinking how annoying that guys hair cut is.
I enjoy how long the girls neck is in the final panel
English is dumb. It’s Pacifiko in Esperanto.
From now on, I’m going to call it the “Pacific ocean”, where the first c is pronounced as “c” and the last one as “c”.
Also what a missed opportunity to call it the pacifi-c! Get it? The pacifi-sea? I’m very funny I know haha I should start a standup comedy show I will earn millions and I will become rich and famous and make my homies proud. Baking a cake requires four ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder and grandma’s heart. By heart, I mean her love. Not her heart actually. That will kill her. But she is already dead :( I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(.
This is quality shitpost commenting.
Golf clap? Golf clap 👏
Well now I’m going to think of this randomly for no reason…
Enjoy your day! Bwahaha
Don’t worry. Trump will rename it soon.

is it tài píng yáng, taepyeongyang or tai hei yo?
If you are Mainland Chinese (excluding Guandong Province), or Taiwanese, it’s: tâi pʰíŋ jɒŋ
If you are Hong Konger, Guandong Province Resident, or just want to spite the CCP, it’s: tʰa:i˧ pʰɪŋ˨˩ jœ:ŋ˨˩
(it’s IPA btw)
Guys guys. Come on.
We don’t know Spanish here.
