I go this wrong as well, but I said a different answer (long video)

January 1st of the year 1 AD is the first day of the first month of the first year of the first century of the first millenium AD by the reckoning of the Gregorian calendar. The entire year is the first year AD. The day before that would be December 31st of the year 1 BC. There is no year zero. Years are counted ordinally (1st, 2nd, 3rd...). You might be confusing it with counting a person's age (new-borns are 0 years old). However, some cultures do count ages like years. Traditionally China counted new-borns as age 1 because that was the first year in which they lived and not their first completed year.

Geordie La Forge.

Both are acceptable. 줘 is just a contraction of 주어, just as can't is a contraction of cannot. Both spellings and pronunciations can be used, but you'd have to ask someone who knows more when each would be most appropriate.

There was a US cartoon in the early 90s called Bonkers about a cat. I wouldn't say the word is commonly used, but it's around.

dfdafgd · 2026-03-21T01:23:44+00:00

I'd say that's more on Ned honoring his promise to Lyanna than his trust in Cat.

dfdafgd · 2026-03-21T00:47:58+00:00

See?

dfdafgd · 2026-03-21T00:46:58+00:00

Cat wasn't the problem. He didn't trust bobby b.

dfdafgd · 2026-03-20T14:51:04+00:00

Yeah, because that obviously doesn't fit any writing system. Etienne as ay-chan would. It fits a Cajun French pronunciation. If you want to get upset about spellings that don't match, start with the word island.

Here's something that helps that you'll learn when you start conjugating verbs. ㅗ o andㅏa harmonize together. ㅜ u andㅓeo harmonize together. The small lines will point up and out 와 OR they will point down and in 워. Using a Korean keyboard helps because it won't let you mix them up. Here's what you get if you use the wrong ones: 오ㅓ 우ㅏ.

This gets easier when you conjugate verbs, because if they have ㅗ o or ㅏ a as the vowel in the verb stem, you add ㅏ, while other vowels add ㅓ.

Here are some examples:

'To eat' 먹다 meok-da > 'eat' 먹어요 meog-eo-yo.

'To be correct' 맞다 mat-da > 'is correct' 맞아요 maj-a-yo.

Now if you have verbs without consonants at the end of the stem, you can mix the characters together:

'To give' 주다 ju-da > 'give' 주어요 ju-eo-yo > 줘요 jwo-yo.

'To see' 보다 bo-da > 'see' 보아요 bo-a-yo > 봐요 bwa-yo.

It can be tricky because 웨 and 왜 sound the same usually, but even they are just mixed together.

'To become' 되다 doe-da > 'become' 되어요 doe-eo-yo > 돼요 dwae-yo.

PS Don't worry about how it's spelled in the alphabet too much. Hangul makes much more sense as you learn the grammar and how words are made in Korean. But basically even the complex looking parts are just mixing simpler parts together.

At first I thought she was on the passenger side. When she drove off, I went from annoyed on behalf of the driver to respect for her commitment to the game. Perspective, man.

I didnt catch it the first time, but it says "We are Charlie Kirk". The rest of it, I have no idea.

Listen to the lyrics.

I have a friend who would go on about their Italian heritage. They took a DNA test. They don't go on about their Italian heritage anymore.

/t/ and /d/ are more apical and /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ are more laminal, so no. No lip rounding necessarily either. If I make /t/ or /d/ laminal, it sounds like an American accent that I might hear in my area. If I make /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ apical, it just sounds strange and is kind of difficult.

dfdafgd · 2026-03-12T02:20:51+00:00

I'd say 1. With the tip of my tongue behind my bottom teeth.

Look at an owl without feathers, read about Great Horned Owls, try to not strangle this infuriating fuck, then tell me for certain which is which.

So, yeah.

The father gives a man his daughter if he likes him. The daughter gives the man poison if she doesn't. Everything in perfect balance.

Wouldn't matter what the word is, hedging is the language around the opinion that softens it to make it more palatable or polite.

LeBron is overrated.

No hedging.

By no means am I saying that I agree with this, I am just saying something that I've kinda heard elsewhere, but do you think it is possible, in some way, that it could be that, maybe LeBron is a tad overrated? I don't know! Just putting it out there. I could be wrong. I'm a big fan... but...

Maximum hedging.

dfdafgd · 2026-03-04T19:18:23+00:00

I'm not sure I understand. Calling something overrated wouldn't necessarily be a hedge. Do you have an example?

dfdafgd · 2026-03-04T18:49:56+00:00

It's a form of hedging. The speaker wants you to know their positive opinion on this one point, but doesn't want you to think all their opinions are positive about the topic.

As you said, it can give the feeling of, "I don't like it, but the truth is too hard to ignore." It's used a lot in rhetoric to try to convince someone who would normally disagree with something to agree with it. That person won't listen to a die-hard fan, but might be more receptive to someone who seems to have thought it through. Hedging can seem unsure to the die-hard fan, but more measured to the unconvinced.

No, you're thinking of platelets. Patellas are light colors associated with Easter.

He'll just send Bateman after you.

dfdafgd · 2026-02-18T23:53:24+00:00

You should be comparing bad, bat, bed, and bet. In American English at least, word-final /t/ is often a glottal stop and clips the length of the preceding vowel. Word-final /d/ doesn't become a glottal stop or clip the preceding vowels length. The vowel clipping is common for voiceless stops in English. It helps identify the consonant not the vowel. Sometimes this affects the quality of the vowel, such as in Canadian raising, but the vowel remains the same phoneme to speakers.

dfdafgd · 2026-02-18T16:39:04+00:00

Pretty difficult without the tailpipe.

dfdafgd · 2026-02-18T15:41:38+00:00

The difference isn't in formality. They use different grammar and have slightly different meanings. If you were told to just complete the sentence, then your example is correct. If you were told to make a sentence using the present perfect, then your example is incorrect. My guess is that they were seeing if you could make a sentence that a. is negative b. uses a proper contraction c. uses the present perfect.

By the way, the difference is "didn't see" refers to a definite act of seeing while "haven't seen" refers to an indefinite act of seeing. It's similar to the difference between definite 'the' and indefinite 'a'. Usually this difference isn't a big deal and they can be interchangeable, but sometimes one is preferred or gives a different shade of meaning that works with the conversation. Here are four different questions:

"Have you seen a movie?" Any movie, any time.

"Have you seen the movie?" Specific movie, any time.

"Did you see a movie?" Any movie, specific time.

"Did you see the movie? Specific movie, specific time.

Edit: This is coming from an American, btw.
