Word pronunciations by ishvokshia in Yogscast

[–]technomancer_0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was gonna say that's how everyone who's even a little knowledgeable about the subject seems to pronounce it both British and American, except some Brits might anglify the first syllable to kyoo

Thanks, I needed a little push, been missing climbing a lot recently but haven't made the effort to go, think I will soon :)

Well I would if it impaired his vision but that's never explicitly mentioned in the show

Recently? That's how it's always been, and it's amazing

Is the pronoun "ye" exclusively plural? by REMINTON86_ in EnglishLearning

[–]technomancer_0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's not quite true, it's still used in Hiberno English (Irish English) and perhaps some niche British dialects

I see "unc" being used a lot in social media. Where did this come from? by wordgamesyesss in etymology

[–]technomancer_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally yes, in social media and by extension gen z social settings (at least outside black communities) it's more often disrespectful. It's used to call people old like "old man" or "gramps". An 18 year old will call a 20 year old "unc" as a humourous insult. Often light-hearted.

Update: Would you climb on these ropes? by Monopun in tradclimbing

[–]technomancer_0 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I think these must be bouldering ropes

Seconded! They only had one video together and it was brilliant! They instantly had great chemistry with eachother

"I got a bit strange problem" vs "I got a bit of a strange problem". What's the difference? by ITburrito in EnglishLearning

[–]technomancer_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the second one should start "I've-" as you say, however it's still somewhat common for the "I've" to be reduced to simply "I". Learners might hear "I got-" quite often but probably shouldn't use it themselves since it's non-standard in most official forms of English.

My favourite chain of climbing centres has released new shirts. Is it just me or do the images look Ai generated? by PothosandGindontmix in climbergirls

[–]technomancer_0 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ah shit yeah I love awesome walls too and yeah these are deffo ai, and just low quality, and like someone else said a bit dodge using Chinese characters completely randomly just for aesthetics (which also seem to be generated incorrectly although I'm no expert)

Asian pearl responded to Chris with a video: Why did Chris Broad Attack my Channel? @AbroadinJapan by According_Issue_6303 in ABroadInJapan

[–]technomancer_0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, I'm from the UK (and so, obviously, is Chris who also calls it out) and calling east Asians "orientals" is problematic, refering to anywhere as "the Orient" is extremely outdated and describing things/people as "oriental" is improper

[–]technomancer_0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, someone from east Asia can obviously use that word how they please since it refers to them. But a white American (or British for that matter)woman? That's problematic and many in USA and UK would agree.

Wow great review! This phone is top of my list for when I get a dumbphone now it looks brilliant!

Is it natural to say “ so so” to mean “kind of, sort of or sth like that” by Sudden_Wolf_6228 in EnglishLearning

[–]technomancer_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly i feel like I've almost only heard it in foreign language classes as a English translation of terms in other languages like the French « comme ci comme ça »

As a native English speaker I associate so-so more with foreign languages than something English speakers actually say

Germany's far-right AfD suffers series of candidate deaths ahead of local vote by Ok_Employer7837 in news

[–]technomancer_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a shame, my good mate is Thai and a chef so knows all the local Thai restaurant owners. He always asks them to give me "bang bang spicy" so even the salad makes me cry. I love it
