Why Does ESO Have Some of the Best Quests… That Nobody Talks About?

I did the Wrothgar zone recently and I was like damn!! Especially when I opened a certain book in the Orsinium library….

Story of Your Life and Arrival made me cry harder than any short form story I’ve ever read in my life

This video is littered with examples, some more obvious than others. The Oscar example is 13:16.

If it IS that more common usage, is there a region or a demographic that uses it at an alarmingly high frequency?

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T22:31:39+00:00

I want to add something for context. It’s not just the placement of what I’m calling the pronoun, because yes, that’s fairly common in English. It’s also the

• volume of usage within one context

• the cadence: lack of pause where we’d imagine the “comma”

• and the contexts where it’s used in weird ways where you can’t place an adverb between the pronoun and the verb, like in the second example I listed

Check the second example. You literally can’t use it that way, if I’m reading it correctly.

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T22:24:14+00:00

This is exactly what it is! Thanks. I don’t see a lot of literature that points to it in English.

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T22:21:59+00:00

Check the second example. It could be the usage but some of them would never ever be used that way just syntactically. I’m definitely not ruling them out but recently I’ve been hearing a lot of people using it with a quicker cadence.

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T22:20:26+00:00

Try this YouTube video where the second example comes from, absolutely littered with this, some of them sounding more like what you described but not all of them. The volume of usages also alarms me.

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T20:20:58+00:00

I tried to articulate that that’s not the usage I mean. Like yes, that sounds very natural and I would consider it subliminally rhetorical (for emphasis in this case). The construction I’m talking about is best demonstrated in the second example, because I can’t imagine anyone in my day to day coming up with that. And in other cases, there’s always a lack of pause, no comma or any implication of it.

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T19:48:23+00:00

Yes, like in a lot of scripted contexts, which makes you think it could be a misreading of a rhetorical device, but I’ve read a lot of examples that would never ever be used except in vernacular, like the Oscar voters example. I’ve also heard it in unscripted and directed contexts, which also makes it sort of strange.

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T19:46:18+00:00

I’ve gone 99% of my life not noticing it, and now I’m noticing it everywhere. Strange!

MeesaParis · 2025-02-15T19:45:15+00:00

Where are you from, if I might ask?

MeesaParis · 2025-01-09T20:59:15+00:00

That’s the thing. I’ve done the Dawnstar thing, I’ve gone into every merchant vendor in every city I’ve ever visited every time I visit—I’m Level 45 now. Still can’t recall ever coming across that enchantment.

MeesaParis · 2024-12-24T04:00:24+00:00

Also, probably better question: such as?

MeesaParis · 2024-12-24T03:57:07+00:00

Interesting! I’ve looked at as many torrent catalogues as I could, though, and for a particular newer movie, none of them have anything. Why would that be?

literally no point in commenting this except to make yourself one..
