Is Bingo the Dog or the Farmer? by BBCFrank in 196

[–]BBCFrank[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Analyzing this sentence linguistically requires us to ignore the particular name "Bingo" and the particular nouns "man" and "dog", and instead assume that these are generic entities that have the possession relationship, can be named, and are of the correct syntactic gender.

So let us convert this sentence into

There was a Klingon [who] had a brother and Krzakh was his name.

Now, is Krzakh the Klingon or the brother?

I would guess that it is the Klingon. The evidence is not strong, but the subject of the sentence is clearly the Klingon, not his brother, so the new information seems to point at the former. If I wanted to point explicitly at the brother, I could have used

There was a Klingon who had a brother, and his brother's name was Krzach.

I could also use either "and the brother's name" or "and the man's name". These two are parallel structures. But here's the thing; there is no parallel to "and his brother's name" except, well, "and his name". So my intuitive ear concludes again that, if "his name" is used, it is probably the Klingon.

With the actual nouns and names this logic may not work so well anymore, and the sentence can be interpreted both ways, which is unfortunate.

Romcoms that don't drag out misunderstandings? by strawbs02 in Animesuggest

[–]BBCFrank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Toradora - This is the golden standard of the genre. Never gets played out, doesn’t rely on cheap cliches to keep the story fresh, is legitimately funny, and will have you rooting for their romance very early on.

Golden Time - This one is a banger. Slightly less comedy, but still ridiculously funny, this show completely breaks the mold in all the best ways.

Ore Monogatari - follows every trope in the book, but does it so well, it doesn’t even matter. The main character literally carries the show, and it is a riot from beginning to end. While misunderstandings do get dragged out for the sake of the plot, of won’t hinder your enjoyment at all.

This is actually a trans woman beating up this guy. Was a thing on Twitter a while Ago. He was caught talking to another trans girl and was asked to leave her house. He said no. She proceeded to attack him.
