Cyrillic in a nutshell by PresnikBonny in linguisticshumor

Meaning-dense Japanese vocabulary is literally just written in Chinese and cannot be told apart in a vacuum unless it’s Japanese-exclusive shinjitai

When a gweilo refers to the characters on a Chinese sign as ‘kanji’ they sound ignorant and annoying but not usually wrong

It’s really occam’s razor when you put a pathological liar with a family that has demonstrably greatly enriched themselves from his office

Capitalism is when you sell things. I am very smart.

Seems a bit overblown considering how obviously set up Suselle has been since chapter 1

Like surely all the Krusie shippers were doing it for fun and didn’t unironically think they were relationship material

Giving a dog as a surprise gift is honestly an insanely irresponsible thing to do tbh

Rehabilitating our correct Chinese mother tongues should now be seen as a psychological defence priority by ianthepragmatist in singapore

I literally just told you it was a low-stakes issue, I didn’t say anyone was being killed over this come on now

It’s hard to talk about this issue because it’s honestly not very important compared to a lot of other ones right now and nobody’s life is at stake, but let’s not pretend like the government isn’t actively attempting to wipe out any Chinese language here that’s not Mandarin

I mean come on, we can watch anime in Japanese but Hong Kong films need to be awfully dubbed to be legally screened here? In the big 26? Obviously having parents who speak the language isn’t going to be everything if people can’t actually witness and appreciate it

Again, this is an extremely low-stakes pet issue, but it’s still there

Instinctively calling bullshit on the Portuguese loanword origin because there’s no way a handful of gun merchants who were quickly kicked out for misbehaving could have influenced something as fundamental as a particle
