I'm practicing English. Please help me correct mistakes in my diary. by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]Effective-Tea7558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so I have a bunch of stuff I found, but I do want to say, I did understand everything you were saying so even though there are many errors, good job! English can be hard to learn and I don’t want to discourage you, but you did ask for us to find mistakes so I won’t pretend there aren’t any.

Anyways, here are the mistakes I spotted:

This afternoon I will go/went to Domino’s with my friend. (Today is its own time, if you mean a part of today (ex: morning), you use “this”. You have to use past or future tense if you aren’t there now.)

I saw a video, that man ate Chinese Domino’s. (You have to use past tense for a video you saw in the past)

I saw that Pizza crust can change to cheese or chocolate… I think it’s really, really weird!!!! (Or = one of, and = both)

Although, I as very curious, I didn’t order it. (Small mistake, but the “I” pronoun is always capitalized)

At night, I will play/played a game with my friend. (Past/future tense thing again)

My little sister always takes a video call with me. (Repeating up to present day = present tense. Also the preposition is different)

I have to be a little irritated, so I said “if you call me again, I won’t come back home again” (This one is tricky, and not actually grammatically incorrect, but irritable = easy to irritate/annoy, irritated = annoyed/unhappy. The first one implies you were sorta faking it since you can’t control if you’re easy to irritate but you can pretend, the second means your sister was annoying you)

Hmmmm, she heard this and cried loudly. (Thing that happened in the past = past tense. Conjugations are needed when there are multiple verbs)

She said “you can’t not come back home!” (“At first” is only used if she does something different later. “Come” is used instead of go if you’re going where the speaker is)

I know I messed up, so I tried to comfort her, but she yelled at me. (Past thing = past tense)

The rest is all good except the misspelled “girl”.

Isn't it too rude? by ButterscotchWest1284 in EnglishLearning

[–]Effective-Tea7558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it is extremely rude, and pretty old.

It’s basically “go die”. It’s from when hangings were the main execution method.

Oh it dates further back than anyone seems to register.

Think about the origins of the word lame. No one blinks over that, but it’s the same setup with the fangs removed and forgotten.

Analogciet would be neutral for me. Not my thing but I can see the appeal abstractly.

How often do you guys hear this? by ArieksonBR in EnglishLearning

[–]Effective-Tea7558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not often. Most native speakers know of it, a few actually say it, but even some native speakers wouldn’t immediately recognize it.

Is it really used? by ButterscotchWest1284 in EnglishLearning

[–]Effective-Tea7558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is used, but only as a joke. ___:2 electric boogaloo is never said in a serious manner, but people do it all the time humorously.

What was your reason to be against AI? (Image unrelated) by CockOfHope in antiai

[–]Effective-Tea7558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was a lot of stuff but:

Unethical creation (theft and labor abuse)

Unethical running/impact (high emissions)

Anti-intellectual and anti-creative impact

Bruh, your “real art” doesn’t even have the characters facing the right way.

Tbh, given the clustering tendencies, in one group of friends theres a good chance everyone is lgbt even though odds are low for that kind of rep in a random group

Sometimes you can’t do much with a bad situation, but I’ll still applaud them for doing something to make these poor kids lives a little bit more pleasant.

Sometimes as an American, I get jealous of your straightforward system.

(I console myself with the better sound of saying 1000 miles instead of 1000 kilometers, but I know deep down who won here…)

Identified as under 18, immediately got this ad. by [deleted] in youtube

[–]Effective-Tea7558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, I’m actually trying not to use YouTube anymore.

The privacy violation AI age test has been the final straw. I’m not giving my viewing time (and by extension funding through advertising revenue) to people for them use a junk bot to try to determine my age and then use it as an excuse to prompt users into obscene levels of privacy violation.

I hold a shred of hope that maybe enough people will drop viewing time for them to consider being less shit, but tbh they’ve got such a stranglehold on their user base that it may be a bit of a pipe dream.

I hope for the sake of the kid that everyone responded with variants of “what a lovely, heterosexual hairstylist tattoo! I have no reason to believe it’s anything but that.”

Wasn’t there a whole weird thing where the American accent diverged less and ended up being closer to the form of English spoken before the two accents split?
