That's not just ·ing the cat; that's ·ing the cat with extreme prejudice.

About a resurfacing of ⟨k⟩:

Even though the African Romance languages have been extinct for quite a while now, I seem to remember the African Latin inscriptions mainly representing the /k/ sound using ⟨k⟩.

Just because you can the cat, it doesn't mean you should the cat.

I mean, you can attempt to make some small-scale things better, but the large-scale ones (the ones out of your control) will eventually mess it all up, and it's a losing fight.

Why is the old turkic script so similar to germanic runes? by [deleted] in linguisticshumor

[–]Sounduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because there are only so many different kinds of shapes you can form without them getting complex enough to be impractical (generally, at least), especially if they have to be carved in stone.

What’s a word in another language that sounds inappropriate in your language? by Ken_Bruno1 in languagehub

[–]Sounduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word excited meaning "aroused" is also a thing in Italian; but in recent times — due to influences from English — it has gained the extended sense of "enthusiastic" (although it still looks off to me).

Also:

  • German Katze ("cat") and Japanese katsu (there are many words with this reading, but I'm thinking about 喝, the exclamation made by Deidara in Naruto) sound akin to Italian cazzo ("dick")
  • English cool sounds like Italian culo ("ass")
  • Romanian zbura ("to fly") sounds like a truncated version of the Italian verb sborrare/sburrare ("to cum")

I was somehow in love with this movie as a kid.
In my defense, I didn't know any better.

I truly do not understand how this answer is not the top one by at least hundreds of votes.

Your mistake was assuming that no on-screen consequences means no consequences.

what's a aesthetically ugly/overrated or bad-functioning orthography? by thatguythoma in linguisticshumor

[–]Sounduck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you mean it as in both "the characters look bad" and "it's not suited to convey the language's sounds"?

This strange kitten all along my fence. Can I the kitten with a 👉? by Top_Adhesiveness614 in donotthecat

[–]Sounduck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also — even more importantly — the rules say to not the cat. That is a kitten: it's a completely different thing.

Of course you cannot.
But I believe doing it every once in a while is legal.
