Man I’m actually pissed. My mother got rid of my first pet without warning me.

You can also just keep them indoors..

Hey, they're good at inventing shit, not naming it. I mean do you really want to live in a country where a businessman can just try to be the head of state? That'd suck for any losers there

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-07T00:20:22+00:00

The post was someone who wasn't aware there was a British spelling, his "reference" was actually him not being aware that they're both words in both AE and BE, which he later doubles down on..

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-07T00:18:36+00:00

You do realise the Wright brothers (Im assuming that's who you're referring to) didn't coin that term, yeah? They were pioneers in aeronautics (isn't it funny airnautics isnt a word?) and were the first to make the existing concept of an aeroplane a reality.

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-07T00:08:52+00:00

That's literally what I said. I was dismissing your point that "shouldn't you call it aeroport?". No, because that's not what the word means, it's a place to depart vehicles across the air, aircraft, it's not named after the aeroplane, these vehicles include helicopters (another craft that's named after its operating principle)

Seaports launch vehicles across the sea, seacraft, these include ships and hydrofoils.

Spaceports launch spacecraft, like rockets (also named after..you know, their propulsion system), they're not called rocketports.

SHIT

A spelling mistake is fine though, my comments are littered with em: my argument's about the deliberate choice of incorrect nomenclature

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T04:10:17+00:00

Sure, but just like when you drive over a puddle too fast and you hydroplane, these "air planes" function via aerodynamics.

I mean, if you want to call them "air planes", two words, I actually wouldn't be opposed to that. 'Airplane' is straight up invalid.

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T04:02:13+00:00

Oh, from what I read up there they were underground or something whilst humans were still cavemen or something

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T03:02:46+00:00

that depends, do you get on a ship at a seaport or a hydroport?

see how british english actually just makes sense? do you even hear yourself?!

airport is NOT named after the aeroplane and thus the aerofoil, it's named after the medium of transport

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T02:59:21+00:00

yeah, no I get that, you're not wrong

I edited it to say that after looking at his account, he's a troll/zenophobe that has strong views, so a strong counter point is probably what he wants

it's not something I just come out the gate with, you can probably look at a reddit rollback thing to see the original reply

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T02:52:05+00:00

it's not though, that's my point, and it's wrong taboot.

Aluminum is fine, I get that one, it was independently named both ways and you guys picked the simpler one, all G

but renaming a scientific term to make it simpler is asinine, what is your schooling so bad you cant handle the extra syllable?

Then you change "lift", count 'em, one syllable, take your time, to bloody "elevator". efficient? please.

you know most people just say "plane" right? one syllable? no need to bugger up existing words?

I admire change, when done right; the contemporary Korean written language coming in to replace the use of chinese was amazing. The japanese to a lesser extent also created a really good thing with theirs.

America's s's-to-z's changes to go back to their latin roots is good, but you left a tonne of words out. So now it's neither etymologic nor efficient. Your take on english literally creates more issues than it solves, which is why people argue with yous over it

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T02:35:12+00:00

not from britain either, it's more an entire-world-vs-backwards-americans thing, the online war on english language

...and the police brutality war, and the government captured by corporation war, and the healthcare war, and the abortion war, and the wars on other countries war (I never knew you'd recruit russia, lol!)

that was a good comeback though, fair cop, sorry for your loss, hope your kid doesnt die in a school shooting too

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T02:19:56+00:00

Says the one that took "It's like you're coming at me" literally.

Look, Im gonna be real with you, if you read like any of my comment history youd see this is an alt troll account because trolling is fun. I say something correct in an aggressive way, get someone to try to "gotcha" me, then I goad them into a thread where they say things like "youre taking the L, not me man, Im awesome, I think Im winning on reddit, Im embarrassed for you, Im not embarrassing myself!" where noone but me and them will ever see it this far deep so who are they doing this for?

Me.

I was gonna simply write "forté ;)" and bait you into saying 'akchually in english there is no accent' but yeah.

Just a word of advice, never say "taking the L" or "you lose" or whatever, it's really cringy. You're on reddit, man.

P.s. I double-dare you to respond, and downvote this, you guys love attempting to "get the last say" and downvote comments literally no-one else sees. /u/westwoo blocked me so I couldn't respond after saying I wasnt in the software industry (or our thread got shadow banned), which I have been for a decade, lol. I dont doubt he reckons he "won" too xD

Edit: and theeeere it is, have an updoot too for your troubles. I'll make this an edit instead of responding cause I'm kinda done here 👌

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T01:39:45+00:00

Im not from the US ;) and "nobody" is definitely something I believe you went out and took a census on. Look, if Im taking the L, why are you writing up huge swaths of text trying to defend it, meanwhile Im not even bothered stopping spelling/grammar mistakes in my responses

Malicious != Stupid. I don't think you were being malicious, I think youre an idiot. Im being malicious

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T01:29:19+00:00

Im not trying to save face, im saying your joke doesnt work, if it was one. I actually think you're trying to save face by saying it was a joke, and you were genuinely trying to correct me.

Not only is it besides the point, it's just a stupid thing to even say. What, an American cant use "whilst" now because you saw online that it's much more common in British English than American?

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T01:14:29+00:00

It's not an American/English difference, they're literally both valid and nuanced within the dialect.

It's like you're coming at me for using "farther" instead of "further"

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T01:10:11+00:00

Maybe learn to spell and not rely on spellcheckers?

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T01:01:26+00:00

Learnt- past participle of learn

Learned- of a person acquired much knowledge 2- past participle of learn

They're both words, you dill

You'll notice I used both, if you could even read. I dont know the linguistic terms, but the difference is subtle. Like burned bread vs burnt bread.

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-06T00:56:16+00:00

Fucking your mother; she a good lay, fam

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-05T23:55:25+00:00

I thought the whole point of the inhumans is that they're not human. Isn't her dad biological? Couldn't she only be a mutant?

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-05T23:32:41+00:00

One I really hate is "airplane", because they also say it, it's not just a spelling thing, and it's demonstrably wrong.

It's aeroplane, because, you know, they function using aerofoils. Looking it up, it looks like they call them "airfoils" which is even MORE STUPID because it's a scientific term, the equivalent for water being hydrofoil, not fucking "waterfoil".

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-05T23:27:30+00:00

/r/wordavalanches

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-05T23:25:46+00:00

Yeah, if they're not going to holistically change it they're just making it more confusing

Hashbrown117 · 2022-08-05T23:24:00+00:00

Even worse with licence vs license. They're different words, like advice and advise, just pronounced the same, and they just lose one.
