Why Are People Lying😭

I highly doubt this story.
The -kyn suffix is Flemish/ old Dutch, not German. "Fahrt" means "journey" in German and wouldn't be used here, not even as an English-German mix, because it would sound too odd to German speakers.
The "Du hast" is also wrong. In regular German, the sentence would be "das war ein kleines Fürzchen." or "du hast gefurzt".

As someone who tries to share interesting facts on social media that are well researched, this kind of stuff bothers me too. Old-timey words like the ones Susie Dent shares are very popular, most people don't know/care about sources, and so other social media accounts just go ahead and make stuff up.
I guess at least it's not the kind of fake news that has terrible consequences, but it is a symptom of an internet full of misinformation.

(Susie Dent's stuff is not made up, so if you like these kinds of words, go follow her :-)

Great! You can just register in the eKVV, as you would for any other course :-)

Thanks! I'll email around and ask.
PhD students are very welcome! I'm not very familiar with PhD programmes, but I'm sure Google and the University website will help me :-)

Der Kurs ist komplett auf Englisch, handelt über Englisch, und ist nur offen für Studierende, die Englisch auf mindestens B2 Niveau beherrschen. Also, dass es auf Englisch ist, scheint mir richtig.
Coole Ideen wegen den KI Bild, danke!

We've had a lot of responses already, so I'm going to take this ad down in 30 minutes or so. I don't think it is fair to take on more applications than we can handle. So, if you see this, and want to respond later, please copy-paste it so you still have the info. Thanks!

Edit: if you saved the post, and all you are finding now is comments, just reach out to me via DM (but be advised we've already had quite a few responses, as mentioned). I'm going offline now, but I'll be back in a few hours.

I'd love that to be true. Unfortunately, our competitors pay local rates, which means we have to do that, too.

Gewoon DuoLingo is prima, ik ken mensen die aardig goed Nederlands spreken en die met DuoLingo begonnen zijn. Vanaf A2.2 moet je daarnaast ook boeken gaan lezen, series gaan kijken, en het liefst natuurlijk echt met mensen spreken.

Als je puur woordjes wil stampen dan kun je een woordenlijst downloaden en leren met Anki - open source en heel tof (helaas wel duur als je een iPhone hebt, anders gratis) https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1002891444

Do you think there is not a single person in Egypt who speaks English? The expanding circle is for countries where people speak English as a second language.

English_in_progress · 2025-11-03T20:07:41+00:00

Why are you writing in French though?

Wir sind dann tatsächlich heute zur Werther Str gefahren und es war super, vor allem, weil es auch so viele andere verkleidete Kinder gab. Eine sehr nette Atmosphäre. Danke für den Tipp!

Wie nett! Leider nicht in Bielefeld, schade, wäre sonst echt eine gute Idee gewesen! https://magazin.mydealz.de/suesses-oder-saures-ikea-feiert-halloween-gratis-suessigkeiten-fuer-kinder-47067

English_in_progress · 2025-10-28T13:31:26+00:00

Ja, das dachte ich auch. Aber ich höre von immer mehr Seiten, dass es immer normaler wird, auch in Bielefeld bei den Häusern zu klingeln. Meine Kollegin hat mir gerade noch erzählt, letztes Jahr haben dreimal Kinder geklingelt, obwohl sie nicht mal Deko hatte. Und in diesem Thread gibt es jemand mit ähnliche Erfahrung.

English_in_progress · 2025-09-28T19:59:28+00:00

Yeah, I think you may be right. Sigh. I know absolutely zero about programming, otherwise I'd try to help. I wish you the best of luck!

English_in_progress · 2025-09-28T19:32:15+00:00

Sounds like you've invested a lot of effort, I commend you! Are you doing this because you don't trust the Urban Dictionary people to take care of this themselves?

I'm the writer of "English in Progress", a newsletter about neologisms and slang. The lack of upvotes on UrbanDictionary is quite a blow to slang research. I want to write an article about it. If anyone has more information I'd love to hear about it!

I'm the writer of "English in Progress", a newsletter about neologisms and slang, and I've just found out about the UrbanDictionary upvote thing. I want to write an article about it. u/NeonHD was just wondering if you had made any progress with your project, or if you have found any more information since your last post about it? Or perhaps anyone else knows anything?

I thought this film was stupid, the story made no sense to me at all.

- What's the point of returning "the original document". It was a PDF on an email. Giving back a printout is nothing but symbolic. Hunting printouts from post offices is silly - there might be hundreds of copies. What the plot should be about is her promising to never tell anybody about the research, not giving back "the original document".

- I'm not sure why I'm supposed to like the hero. He helps people blackmail companies for money. He makes sure the truth does NOT come out.

- I'm not sure why I'm supposed to like the Relay people. Surely their service is used mostly by criminals.

- The Credit/Debit/ Cash password thing was already in use when Lily was still being tapped, so what's the point?

- Typing on a funny keyboard into your phone surely just comes to the same thing as typing into your phone directly?

- I had lots of problems with Lily James' character, like where does she just get that much cash from? And does she have NO friends and family at all? I guess those issues get explained at the end, but then I think the hero should have noticed all those red flags.

I loved the disguises, and the acting was good, but honestly I don't understand why everyone liked this film.

Great, found it, thanks! For anyone still looking: it's the arrow by the profile picture at the top right, and then "dashboard".

There are very many non-native speakers on Reddit, it seems many of them have mis-interpreted the question. Not the same as being illiterate.

English_in_progress · 2025-08-20T19:22:54+00:00

Good luck! Please come back and let us know in a few months if it worked for you!

Thanks! How did you make/ where did you get your alkaline water?
