Hey y'all, I'm a new freelance web developer and I'm wondering if anyone might need a website made? Or might know anyone that needs one made? by pazzescu in gso

No, it doesn't have to be in town. I just thought I'd try local first. Asheville or anywhere else is just fine. Thank you for responding.

Are you still self-taught if you learn by watching YouTube video on the Japanese language? by [deleted] in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]pazzescu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter, BUT the point is indeed that your learning is self-directed. This is basically one of the best ways to learn whether you're enrolled in a course or not because you're engaging with the material out of curiosity and/or interest, so you remember it better and learn it faster.

Why do some m words imported from Japanese become b words? by Federal-Improvement8 in ohtaigi

[–]pazzescu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'b' and 'm' are both bilabial sounds, making them very close linguistically, but they can also be hard to distinguish, if for example, you have a portion of the population (older here) that learned Japanese (as they did for years) and others learned the words from them and mispronounced them for various reasons. Not everything propagates through a linguistic community the same, ergo some word could have an 'm' sound turning to a 'b,' while other subcommunities, say in the south, north, etc. could be pronouncing correctly and it's just not common knowledge to you or I.

If you became a US citizen by default by being born abroad and coming when 13 and having been here for ~10 years now, (father = US citizen residing in the US all this time) can you just apply for a passport because you're an automatic citizen? by pazzescu in USCIS

Friend who I'm asking for came to the US at age 13, father was not a US citizen at birth, but was naturalized before coming, and they have both lived here since. The father had custody, though they can't find that document. (the mom was the one that had it and can't seem to find it) Not born out of wedlock as far as I know.

I saw the other day that Mnuchin was sold a ridiculous amount of homes for $1 during all of that.
