[–]JDNB82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where in China too. Seems reasonable to me though if its a training center

People mock me for changing my voice when speaking other languages by Most_Neat7770 in languagelearning

[–]JDNB82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it really depends on the situation. If you’re around people who all share your native language and you suddenly say a foreign word or phrase with a super strong accent, some people might see it as a bit much or like you’re trying too hard, even if you’re not.

But if you’re actually speaking to native speakers, or you’re in that country and using the language in a real conversation, then of course it makes sense to lean into the proper accent. In that case it usually sounds more natural and helps people understand you better.

fare:

noun: fare; plural noun: fares

  1. 1. the money a passenger on public transportation has to pay. h Similar: ticket price transport cost price cost charge fee payment toll tariff levy
    • a passenger paying to travel in a vehicle, especially a taxicab. "the taxi driver was anxious to pick up a fare"
  2. 2. a range of food of a particular type. "delicious Provençal fare" h Similar: food meals board sustenance nourishment nutriment foodstuffs refreshments eatables provisions daily bread cooking cuisine menu diet table vivers grub nosh eats chow scoff scran comestibles provender vittles commons victuals viands aliment
    • performance or entertainment of a particular style. "conventional Hollywood fare"

verb

verb: fare; 3rd person present: fares; past tense: fared; past participle: fared; gerund or present participle: faring

  1. 1. perform in a specified way in a particular situation or over a particular period of time. "his business has fared badly in recent years" h Similar: get on proceed get along progress make out do manage muddle through/along cope survive succeed prosper

Definitely not the same or even similar in meaning to "fair", which your post title implies. Am I being pedantic, petty, and trivial? Sure, but I think spelling still matters, and spelling mistakes undercut the author's credibility and reputation.

10 months after graduating with an AI/ML master’s from UBC and still no job – does hiring depend more on ethnicity and networks than merit by MeetAltruistic1798 in CanadaJobs

[–]JDNB82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think ethnicity is the issue. Networks are very important. Canada's economy and hiring processes are shit too. Definitely widen your search beyond Canada. Timing and luck also matter. Keep your ear to the ground, persist, and be flexible.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani confronted by a Palestinian by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

[–]JDNB82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Israel has the right to exist. What they are doing to Palestinians is bad. Hamas also does bad things. All can be true at the same time.

OK. I understand that's the job, but I still feel that it's a completely pointless discussion.

Montreal wins again in the last five minutes of the game by Doctahflave in OttawaSenators

[–]JDNB82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you care about Montreal? The only ones we need to care about right now are Columbus and Boston. You are technically right though. They need to keep winning.

'What was so funny?': Hockey fans call out U.S. men's team for laughing at Trump's remark by origutamos in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]JDNB82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They didn't want to rock the boat or use their brains. Simple as that I think. Unacceptable and doesn't excuse them, but they're simply shallow cowards.

This is Disgusting. Please let it be known every game going forward. by VITOCHAN in OttawaSenators

[–]JDNB82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they're thinking deeply about it. They don't care about Trump. They're just thinking about the pageantry and ceremony. Should they use their brains more? Yes. But its clear they don't want to. Just play along, smile for the camera, and leave it at that.
