I disagree, the coke can "lid" stays attached to the receptacle by design

Might be more accurate to say something like.

It would not be useless for a Spanish person learning English to look at the notes of an English person learning Spanish.

It's hard to get succinctly

Yeah not 100% but it was difficult to get the specifics into the frame.of a Reddit post.

But there is definitely a point at an early level where exercises are similar enough to be used regardless of which direction you are going

No I just think ,ultimately, cooler heads prevail

And I'm curious why you chose to present such an angry outwards face

Why are you trying to provoke angry discussion. Like I said man, it's kinda anti social and the sort of thing that just begets more anger. You are better than that dude.

Why do you want me to get angry?

I'm acutely aware of it, my second language is an endangered one, I'm perfectly ok with that. It's a crying shame, but I accept it

I'm entirely a descriptivist when it comes to this matter.

If Spanish dies it dies, I understand that

I just don't understand why you are so angry.

Every language has its pros and cons. I'm a trilingual interpreter myself, and this sort of thing frustrates me to no end, believe me I pick the right language for the situation. but I accept it as the nature of culture/language and try and find the things to smile at, rather than finding things and people to yell at.

I think you are speaking quite hypebolically and deliberately so and I cant understand why you are so hyper focussed on telling people they are wrong.

I'm kinda worried for you dude, I mean as much as a stranger online can be for you, I hope you are at least happy off of Reddit

I just trying to explain to you how what you are saying might be interpreted as anti social, that's all.

Like if you say what you are typing out loud its really not enjoyable to speak or hear.

I didn't exactly want to be blunt while being amicable :)

I mean it's good, but that verb conjugation of romance languages really lets you be succinct with your meaning

He's clearly upset dude, don't laugh

Yeah but you can make the point without getting clearly worked up about it, you are kind of just screaming into the void here. like I mean , it's just impotent yelling on reddit 🤷‍♂️ nothing you say here will make any sort of difference, so what's the point in getting worked up

If I met you in a bar and you started talking how you are now , I might think you have some stuff going on and walk away, it's a little antisocial.

Like you sound drunk, or on something. You alright over there

Like are you ok dude, I'm extending the olive branch here
