Why the scare quotes around ‘European’, is it EU or not?
Ah yeah, I always use “wanna” in formal context, like all the time
It’s not a formal context, it’s very obviously written in a breezy and casual style, where attention-grabbing is more important than formalities
The call-response format is short-long in stressing, which gives it a PUNCH that “fewer” would lose as well
1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6
Feels more punchy than
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Also, it’s not a recruitment poster, it’s a political advocacy poster.
Ah, you mean the book about a prescriptivist policy of grammar coming top-down from government, that one?
And how the way that people rebelled was intentionally misuse of the rules in a “you didn’t say I couldn’t use it this way!”, a form of descriptivism
Read 1984, if forget why
You need to get hobbies IMO
Less people enforce arbitrary outdated “rules”
More people let language evolve like the living thing it is
Less people care about prescriptivism outside of formal contexts
More the language reflects reality rather than being left to stagnate and die
Don’t be a grammar cop.
You can do better, so can Seattle.
Less needless “corrections” that add nothing to conversations. More engaging in conversation
Less being a stickler for no good reason. More being chill for once
Less grammar cops Better communities


Yes yes, trust the AI peddlers to keep their promises, that’s always went well.

I will say Codeberg Gitea etc are even better options for foss, as they have no Closed Source options

Ah, there’s your problem


The app looks and runs like a university project.
By which I mean badly
Then they’re still European? Just none-EU
European - from the continent of Europe
