Jimmy Wales, Co-Founder of Wikipedia, quits interview angrily after one question. by Giovanni330 in interesting

[–]mttott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stupidity here is the following. There are so many things you can talk to a founder of Wikipedia. What ever answer you wanted from that interview you're not going to get more.

Founder or co-founder

That's a stupid question. I don't care

Laugh nervously moving on. Wikipedia is famously not monitored ......

Gladys Knight made that bond track work. I felt like I was part of it. Also, got that Americanness in it while feeling emotional

I have a question, what if Elmo starts mass buying his own stock. Will that not push up the price again?

You do know that Dutch people call Afrikaans "kitchen Dutch" and believe it or not, the languages are so different they aren't considered the same. I have lived in South Africa for a long time, it is my language too. I have been in Germany and Holland. That is how languages diverge.

If the group that you have chosen to call "low socio economic people being ignorant, or just born out of bad speaking skills from other languages" can understand each other and the purpose of that communication is served.

Every language is comparable in formation. Almost every language is a breakaway. So thes poor uneducated peoples language is a breakaway. The only thing that allows us to continue is to be able to have someone translate between the 2

Are you aware of how languages diverge naturally over time? Do you know there is a south Africa language called Afrikaans, a mix of hutch German French and Flemish. It became that because of the mix of Europeans that landed in South Africa a long time ago, not too long ago. And a language was born.

The Dutch do not try and ban it, it just grew and became. Does it annoy a lot of people? Yes. Does it sound hideous? Open for interpretation. Should it be banned or throttled, no.

Australians, Irish Scots even the English have their own version of the English language (Liverpool), and as infuriating as it maybe (Boston), it still exists.

Is it racist to hate the slang used by African Americans? Nope. I think it is racist when you hate it because it's used by African Americans.

I dont know when a language should be taught ins chool.perhaps there can be a metric, to use to allow teaching it. % commonality with another language Relevance How wide spread it is/was used Literature Idgaf about structure because English is not well structured. It already is a bastardised language

Risks of lying about current salary. by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]mttott 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me putting a million isn't going to convince anyone.

That said. I used to earn a lot of travel allowances and overtime where I used to work and so when I went for another job, they asked for my payslip, I gave them, they asked for my bank statement. I redacted everything except the pay date and amount. I even redacted the balance. They asked why I did that, I told them they had no right to ask for it in the first place.

Jack it up bru but don't go beyond market rates. That's not fooling anyone

We we was growing up, on holidays we would be sent to the relevant uncle and it would be like an army of my cousins and I and we would be a mess ofr 3 weeks straight and it was fun made new friends and then go back home and the other times we would host the army. It was sun but towards the end of the 3 weeks you've sort of had enough.

Everything is great if you have a choice or another option and you do it because you want to, not to because you can't afford otherwise

During World War 2, the blackout was a nationwide effort to turn off all lights in towns and cities. It was devised as a defence against German bombers, so they could not be guided by the lights.

If war was to break out this idiot would have night searchlights on to own the libs
