Discussion

Did you run this tweet by nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 to make sure you got the meaning right?
This is an unauthorized grammar pedancy tweet
"receive" x "recieve", the next big battle in the mind of the average American.
I've got that one dialed in. Unless you're about to tell me it's the latter
i before e except after c
So you're telling me "sovereign" is wrong?
And also "weight", "pleistocene", "reinstall", "forfeit", "counterfeit", "protein"?
it's a stupid rule, really the phonetics are more or less identical to german, "ie" is like the slavic iy, rising tone like english EE and ei is like - well, like the old vulgar latin like the word "eye" such as your native language portuguese, except when it's french and then it's back to front like counterfeit which sounds like counter-feet
and then there is the ai dipthong which is also french but also german and has different sounds depending on the word, as also the reverse is usually spoken with an intervening schwa like the russian e and я
that's why english is such a fucked up language, way more exceptions to rules than almost any other language, it's a blend of german, french, latin, greek, irish, welsh and scottish
also, reinstall is not a dipthong that's a prefix for "again" on a word with an initial I
Many words are based on other words or combinations of other words, doesn't mean they're not words now. "reinstall" is certainly a word, doesn't matter how it came to be one.
yes but the spelling is not important as the sound, it's two words when spoken, with a distinct pause between the prefix and the word it modifies, like antifascist - you say it anti-fascist, and at some point it got so common people drop the hyphen in the text
Like watermelon is also not a word but a combination of "water" and "melon"?
My point was just that these rules are all stupid.
agreed... it was one of the things i really liked about Bulgarian, really consistent rules
Learning a little bit of japanese was a gun exercise. The phonetics are pure, but the crazy part is the honorifics.
