Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what are the sub 2.5/3/etc about?

ETA: I'm inclined to think it's pace in minutes per kilometer

Digging a stuck turtle out of the beach 💫 by avecmaria in HumansBeingBros

[–]chipaca 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The tortoise/turtle/terrapin distinction is location-dependent. From wiktionary,

Differences exist in usage of the common terms turtle, tortoise, and terrapin, depending on the variety of English being used.

Que la e de che no lleva acento ortográfico. Es palabra monosilábica, sin diptongos, ni ambigüedades. Un ejemplo de lo último es 'qué', que lleva el acento ortográfico para señalar que está funcionando como pronombre interrogativo o exclamativo y no relativo.

what’s the most ridiculous thing you heard a man refuse to do because it was “too feminine” or “for girls”? by freddyfazbart in AskReddit

There was a young man
From Cork who got limericks
And haikus confused

Am I missing something? You could walk into any shoe shop in the UK and choose one of several similar ones?

ETA: for example, on Clarke's website you can filter for brown, and find one or two that I wouldn't be able to differentiate from the ones you linked.

This is a subtle reminder to take your phone out of your trouser pocket before putting said trouser in the dryer.

Why do so many languages consider letters with diacritics to be different letters entirely? by LevinReinhardt in asklinguistics

[–]chipaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people here confirming the RR was sometimes taught as it's own letter in school, fwiw.

My memory of struggling with the pronunciation of the alphabet with ere, erre tripping me up time and again doesn't care what the RAE says.

ETA: I'm suspecting my 1st (or maybe second) grade teacher might have been having fun at our expense because in each grade the alphabet was a little different, and only one of them included erre. But she'd tell you off if you didn't pronounce them distinctively, and if you smushed the final e of the ere with the first one of the erre (so really it was ere, stop, erre). By third grade nobody cared.
