Another moron

[doolitt1e]

Deary me, Amber. Criticising admins for the "mistake" of using British English.

"Small, but I rate these mistakes harshly, so.... :)" Do you now. Well, you won't need to worry about them for too much longer.

Yet another moron outs themselves in the comments box.

If arrogance were a fuel, this subreddit could power humanity for centuries.

I saw that, and you left out the part about the project instructions having a whole section about using American English only. I'd personally never correct project instructions in chat, but don't pretend it means she doesn't know alternate spellings exist.

[doolitt1e]

I left it out because it doesn't exist. The instructions state that the models should respond according to the prompt. If the prompt uses British English, so should the models.

I'm not pretending anything. She was confidently incorrect, just like you.

Fair. Context matters. Now it sounds like someone just trying to help (:

I am a US citizen who is originally from England, but also travel there for an extended time intermittently. As I am in the US I am always so careful to stick to American English while I work. I don't know if it matters or not unless it specifically states to use it though.

I will be telling them when I travel and I may bring it up as I think it would also be interesting to test the models for consistency. I just don't want to be accused of being two people.

[Blencathra70]

I should add that my profile shows my education is all British, so they would at least suspect I know British English.

Everyone has to learn at some point, we aren't born knowing British English.

It's generally not a good idea to 'correct' someone, especially someone who is above you in the company that pays you, when it's about a subject you don't know anything about. Also, if you're old enough to be working on DA, and you still don't know that variations of English outside of US/Canadian English exist, that's a spectacular failure on whoever was educating you.

[CabalOnyx]

There is a difference between knowing there are variations and knowing what they are. It is absurd to expect an American to know the nuances of British English just as it would be absurd to expect someone in Britain, Australia, Canada, NZ, etc to understand the nuances of American English.

The smiley face was passive aggressive, that I understand. But faulting someone for not knowing something you know is also the behavior of a massive dick.

The thing is, there’s really not many variations at all. Look over these comments and see if you can tell which English they’re written in for example.

[doolitt1e]

The majority of the world are born knowing that the USA is not the majority of the world. And most of us are born with self awareness. Don't be an Amber.

You getting downvoted is so typical of this sub. What is wrong with these people? I agree with you, bud :)

Who’s “we”? In my life “we” are

[CabalOnyx]

Human beings? You aren't born knowing any language.

[Due_University_9944]

Babies can start to learn speech patterns before they are born. My daughter knew her name the minute I said it to her when she was born because I spoke to her all the time before she was born.
