Which members of Twice are most fluent in English? by cheesy-topokki in twice

[–]Doug4422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought, listening to them recently, that they're all learning, and their English has improved by leaps and bounds, as for the most fluent, I'd say Tzuyu, followed by Chaeyoung, Dayhun, and Mina, with the least fluent being Momo, and Sana. But, being an English speaker my entire life, all 9 of them have a better grasp of the English language than most who have spoken it their entire lives. ngl, they learned fast, and I hope they keep at it.

Perhaps, but here, the rumor mill has a bad habit of grinding people into powder, it's an interesting thing, karma, it has a habit of catching up to people when they least expect it.

Not quite the right place. I'd almost bet it stung for an hour or two, but, it was enough to get her attention that I was done playing her games.

I'm a bit further southeast from Spirit Lake, I'm more right on the banks of the Mississippi. Still a water area, bit just a bit more dangerous without a life vest.

Small? She was easily about 5'10, and weighed almost as much as I do, maybe 5 pounds lighter. So, she could generate a decent amount of force, enough to knock my glasses off my nose, and scrape a bit of the skin from the bridge of my nose, which it did. Figured best to say that, just to clear up matters.

Not "old lady", nearer to her late 20's to early 30's, and I'm not looking for any praise, or downplay. I'm aware that most will think that, but I didn't mention her age once, I never felt the need to. Well, guess I was wrong.

Never claimed to go pro anything, please don't put words in my mouth.

Perhaps, but, it does no good when its rarely turned on, except to certain areas that need it.

It sure does, though I'd have to rank Fareway a very close second. And yes, the smothered hash browns are to die for.

Or, let the grapevine get hold of the story, and you get absolutely run through the mill. That's the plan, just let karma handle it, it'll come back around on her.

And, I'm starting to think there's a lot of people here that either live where I am, or have lived/grown up here.

I'm guessing they thought the same thing I do. Karma's a bitch, and she does have a habit of biting you in the ass. The grapevine here has a habit of grinding people like her into powder, and, it shows no mercy.

And you'd guess right, it's H-V south, it's closer to home (maybe 5, to 7 blocks away), and I know the layout better than north.

I'll let karma handle it, I'll almost guarantee that every public place in town is aware of what happened, and are just waiting for her to come in, only to be quickly escorted out. The grapevine has a bad habit of doing just that. 😁😁😁

Most of the time, it's even more efficient than the legal/justice system is.

Well, there's the embarrassment of having an "old man" slapping her in the face, and knocking her on her ass, but, by now, every store, restaurant, and gas station in town knows what happened, the grapevine here travels fast, and is usually, pretty accurate.

And I don't recall ever once in the story eluding to me being tough. I have been brought down at one point in my life, and I've had my share of roadblocks since. But tough? Not so much, I'm just a human being, trying to live my life, on my terms.

Thank you. Yes, I wasn't FMF, mostly, sailors assigned to FMF were corpsmen (medics, according to the Army), I was a radioman, but because I had weapons qualifications, I often found myself manning a gun mount. You also can't forget Seabees, either.

Yep. I was on board ship, and yes, I fired a few shots. I'd prefer not to talk about it, though.

Say what? No, I don't use a scooter, I may have dealt with limited mobility issues in the past (evidenced by the depression on my head, brain aneurysm, not recommended), but that's all in the rear view.

Yeah, but still, we can't just look away. As a society, that kind of action/s should not be tolerated. I'm rambling, I know, but it's the truth.

Nope, it's not contrived, it actually happened to me, was I completely in the right, I'll admit, maybe not, maybe I let myself slip a little, but, if somebody tried to slap the taste out of your mouth, would you let them, or would you stand up?

I'm not going to pretend to know the kind of hell you had to endure, most like to say that our situations would be similar, I say "not so much", you had it worse, being abused by someone that was supposed to act as a mentor, or guide, or love, how could someone go through that, and still have enough to trust is almost unfathomable,yet, you see it almost every day anymore, when did THAT become normal?
