The more i look into different languages, the more i feel different languages are just as complex as each other, with complexity put in different places


Even most Esperanto speakers have abadoned the ideology of Finvenkismo (the belief that Esperanto will become the primary language of the world, overtaking other languages) as it’s both unrealistic and has several flaws
Esperanto is a flawed, Eurocentric language, and we should celebrate linguistic diversity, not treat it as a problem needing to be solved
I don’t really like them either, does it just depend on the person? Everyone else seems to love them


Why is this downvoted, it’s actually a real thing
Linguists struggle to find an exact definition of what a word is because speakers of different languages have different opinions of what a word is, and some languages make the distinction unclear


Yeah as a polish person I got what they meant but I found it offensive


If a US official is sent to The Hague, doesn’t the US government have a law that gives them the ability to invade the Hague and take them back?


The Catholic church has a very strong grip on Polish culture (and often government), which is what drives a lot of things like this

I’m mostly talking about this entire comment thread and not just this comment, but what’s with people on Lemmy and putting so much value on analogue clocks? I saw someone here a few weeks ago, who said that you couldn’t be intelligent if you didn’t know how to read a clock. I can read analogue clocks and I can understand why people like them, but digital clocks have their own advantages and I can absolutely understand people preferring them. It almost feels like a similar situation to 12 hour vs. 24 hour time, where people who use one system don’t understand why they would want to use the other one.

Not at that scale, they can do larger text fine but at a certain size it just breaks down


The main bluesky feed is also chronological, however, it has a desperate discover feed which is algorithmic (I think mastodon might have that as an option now?)
As someone who used to live in Edinburgh
It’s just like that
What’s with people constantly down voting your comments for using þorn? Even if i disagree with the exact reason you use it it makes no sense to downvote over a letter
English tends to be very etymological with its spelling but i support people simplifying it tbh

Is it? I tried checking in a dictionary but it didn’t list mídheas as a word and “deas” was defined as right/nice/honest, not just “good”
