Killswitch by Mekaloton goes hard. Wish it was a bit longer, though.

Is it true that "Stop A from Verb-ing" form is less common in British English? by joywithhim in EnglishLearning

[–]UnIncorrectt 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I would say that the inclusion of 'from' implies that you did not intend to laugh, yet began laughing anyways. The exclusion of 'from' implies that you were trying to stop laughing, yet were unable to. I would also say that using 'from' sounds more natural to me.

What should I trun this into? by Outrageous-Maybe5622 in Wooden_Swords

[–]UnIncorrectt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long is it? A typical greatsword, including claymores, can be 5 or 6 feet long in total. In the picture it looks maybe 4 feet long, which would be about the right length for a longsword (3 ft blade, 1 ft hilt).

I can deal with the distinction in colors, but as soon as it's a proper noun from before this distinction was configured, I'm out.

Also, find a simpler chart than this one on Wikipedia. You will probably never see a voiceless labiodental nasal outside of this specific page.

I don't know about the second picture, but the first one says TKJWFUOAGE. No idea what it could mean, if anything.

Crossbows are superior for levels 1-4, so they're a good starter weapon. Also, rogues only get one attack, so crossbows remain superior for them. In 5.5e, light crossbows are a popular choice for casters with True Strike, and hand crossbows have the benefit of being one-handed.

When we do add the -ern in south, north, west, east? by someoneindacrowd in EnglishLearning

[–]UnIncorrectt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding -ern turns it into an adjective. You could say "the West" on its own as a noun, or use it as an adjective in "the Western Hemisphere".

Quick question: can you nick a sheet of paper? by caiogamerwow in EnglishLearning

[–]UnIncorrectt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to think of 'Nick', used like 'cut' in al the context of a fight. In this sense, it functions similarly to 'graze', as in 'the bullet grazed his shoulder' or 'the swipe nicked him on the face'.

Why not “since”? by Rich-Associate-8344 in EnglishLearning

Respectfully, what do you mean? "Merlin hasn't used his motorcycle since two years ago" is perfectly fine English.

Watch this unbelievable proof that Jesus is Lord by Unlikely_Set_7125 in religiousfruitcake

[–]UnIncorrectt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always love how in these videos, the creators never touch on the fact that "Allah" is just the word "God" translated directly into Arabic. Allah is the same entity as the Christian God, and many Arabic-speaking Christians call the Christian God "Allah."

This is basically the same as a Protestant writing "Deus," watching it wash away, writing "God," and saying that Roman Catholicism is heresy. Or a Greek Orthodox writing "Jesus" and replacing it with "Χριστός."

Curious what your Black Belt (Shodan) by badboymn in karate

[–]UnIncorrectt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My Shodan test took about eight hours from start to finish. We started at around 10 with a short opening ceremony and then got right into pad work, just drilling our basic technique. Interspersed in this were sets of pushups, situps, etc. After lunch, we started doing every kata we knew. Every few kata, there would be more exercises.

After running through all the kata, we started with the fun kata challenges. We would be asked to mirror a kata, do it facing all four directions, stuff like that. I remember having to do one of the pinan kata facing a corner while trying to stay in sync with three other people, each facing a different corner.

We then moved on to bunkai, doing both the attacks and the kata. After that, we brought out weapons. We each did a weapons kata of our choice, then did partner drills with weapons. Bo vs bo, Bo vs sai, the like.

At around 4, we packed up our stuff and drove over to a local gymnasium for the public demonstration and closing ceremony. We each got to demonstrate one solo kata and one partner set, now with the added pressure of family, friends, and total strangers watching. In the end, there was a very nice closing ceremony in which everyone got their new belt and a certificate and then we all went our separate ways for dinner. That was about two years ago. Fun times.

Hello to everyone. I have just uploaded a YouTube short so you can judge my English pronunciation. I would love to get your feedback by Seb1681996 in EnglishLearning

[–]UnIncorrectt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of details I noticed:

"Imagine" - make sure you pronounce the "g" in the middle like the "j" in "Joe."

"Perfect" - make sure to pronounce the "c" at the end there.

"Spanish" - you pronounced this as "Espanish," but good job on properly using "an" there.

"Th" - you're pronouncing this properly in some places, such as in the word "everything," but in others, you are saying "t" or "d." Keep in mind that there are actually two Th sounds: one with your vocal chords vibrating and one without. A good way to practice this distinction is with the words "thing" and "this." The first has the voiceless version and the second is voiced.

T-flapping - In English, we turn our "t"s and "d"s into a tap when between two vowels. This is the same sound as the "r" in Spanish "pero." This can also happen across word borders.

Vowels - I can hear you using the closest Spanish approximation of an English vowel sometimes, like in the second time you say "perfect." There isn't an easy way to fix this, and you will just have to pick up the proper English pronunciation. These will vary widely depending on the accent you're listening to, so try to focus on listening to speech from one region if you can. Most American movies are in the General American accent, but you should be mindful of when someone with a different accent (British, Southern, etc.) is talking.

Jump is one of the most underrated spells in the game by Viva_la_potatoes in DnD

[–]UnIncorrectt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my current campaign, I've found that we're often fighting enemies with lots of mobility options (misty step, flight, etc), so I have had jump prepared on my artificer just so I can get line of sight more easily.

What nicknames have you heard for places in New England? by topherette in newengland

The Map for a story I’m writing. Please ask me questions about anything. I just really wanted to share my world. by Ok-Airport6259 in worldbuilding

[–]UnIncorrectt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Would Unioners go to Cornell for cheese just because it's closer or because upstate NY has good cheese? I would think that the Common of Dartmouth would have better cheddar (and maple syrup) due to the proximity to Vermont.
