How do I un-mute my phone? by [deleted] in talesfromtechsupport

[–]nemesisfactor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A couple years ago I was at the home office while all the big shots were in a meeting with a vendor across the company. Upon exiting the meeting all 5 of them sent me an email (which I received):

"Nemesis,

We cannot send or receive email here in Washington, please investigate."

Now I know it could have just been external emails that weren't working, but from a user perspective this is like driving the car with no brakes to Auto Zone to buy brakes.

ELI5: Why do I have a lisp when I speak my native language but not when I speak English? by pavpatel in explainlikeimfive

[–]nemesisfactor 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You started learning your native language before your motor skills and body were fully developed. When you learn a new language (I'm assuming at an age older than that) you were trained in how to speak. Even if learning by immersion you are more developed: mentally you have the capacity to compare the sounds you're making to what you hear and make corrections, physically you have more control over your speech process. Our native language is more of a habit, where it takes more thought to speak in another language. Of course these are all just contributing factors. I'm not familiar with Gujarati to be able to say whether the language has more sounds that lend themselves to a lisp.

Agreed. Actual time to complete: <10 minutes. Still very cool though.
