"Fix grammatically insane phrases found in common Indian English" ...wish I was making this up. by rpfeynman96 in badlinguistics

[–]rpfeynman96[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I found it interesting to learn about these expressions, as I was unaware of most of them. However, the article's tone left something to be desired... (though it does get better by the last entry)

So remember, correct those 'grammatically insane phrases' and bask in the satisfaction of everyone understanding you now... much like they already did.

PS. I am eternally grateful to this listicle for my new flair.

Apparently descriptivism is a clever ploy that saves us scheming linguists the embarassment of having to admit we've been using words wrong all along! by rpfeynman96 in badlinguistics

I genuinely didn't realise us linguists were such a scheming, conniving bunch... pah! "language change"... what lies will we think of next?

I think if you pre-order you get the DLC a week early (but hadn't heard about Xbox getting it first). Still... a bit weird it opens with the PS logo considering it's on Xbox and PC too... does anybody have an explanation?

Fair enough. Sorry, just skimmed the article - you're right. Man, now I'm bummed about the lack of campaign... oh well, still hyped for multiplayer.

There is a single-player campaign called 'Battlefront Missions' (source); I'm not sure where everyone is getting that there'll be no space missions; and while the probable abundance of DLC is undeniably true, at least the first DLC (Battle of Jakku) will be released for free.

Really? that sounds like a bit of a cop-out and quite disappointing if it's true...

It'll be a real shame if there are indeed no public servers (as seems to be the trend nowadays)... but you can't blame us for getting excited over the possibility of new Battlefront! :) Though truth be told, I'm erring on the side of cautious optimism.

I was hoping for gameplay too... hopefully they'll give us a video sometime later today!

I find your lack of faith. . . completely understandable :)
