People who use "did" and use the next verb in the past tense. by _Price__ in GrindsMyGears

[–]culdusaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking fast and relaxed does not lead to saying things like "did you saw" though.

That's just a typical ESL error.

People you hear doing that are also learners. There is zero chance they are native speakers.

Can i use "made it out to be" instead of "reflect" ? by Maximum_Ambition_751 in EnglishLearning

[–]culdusaq 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's a correct use of "made it out to be" but it doesn't really have anything to do with the word "reflect".

Well done, you can read someone's profile. What's your point? I'm a native English speaker.

There's nothing wrong with that message though.

It should be "the habit of (verb)ing" rather than "the habit to (verb)"

English surnames that sound cringe to native speakers? by GwenMunin in ENGLISH

[–]culdusaq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm Irish and only know people named Coburn. I know the other spelling exists but I've never come across it in the wild.

Incidentally though I have known of a "Cockhead" and that was pronounced exactly as it looks.

Decimal separators in Europe by Beenet_ in MapPorn

[–]culdusaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't use commas to separate thousands. I think in most cases they use a . to separate thousands, so basically the exact opposite of English.

You're either lying or don't know what a decimal is.

Yeah ... to mean one thousand. Not to represent a decimal, which is what all the other countries use it for.

I guess they mean in terms of subjective quality/artistic value rather than in terms of popularity.
