It was all too common for men to be like 15-20yrs older

You’ll never be ready IMO. Rather, you can always be MORE ready at a future date in theory. So not a big point in waiting.

Damn, I ended a sentence with a proposition.

Go ahead and remigrate me.

@Matthias Somewhere your 6th grade teacher is REEing

Ending sentences with prepositions is fine, I'm pretty sure

It's not inaccurate, just slightly informal and perhaps not the best prose

Slavic languages are <:galaxybrain:366743669484683264> because word order doesn't matter

There’s quite a few English grammar rules that don’t really have any basis other than “that’s how it is in Latin and Latin is woke.” “Don’t split an infinitive” for example. In Romance languages the infinitive is one word, so it can’t be split. English isn’t a Romance language though.

just talk like BAP

how do you split an infinitive? @ophiuchus

“To boldly go”

fun fact: in Slav languages there's some verbs which *only* exist as an infinitive

Disgusting

In Chinese all verbs are in the infinitive. There’s no conjugation at all ever

I didn't even notice this until it was pointed out to me fairly late in life

it's not as disgusting as it sounds

it's really hard to explain but it intuitively makes sense if you speak the language, trust me

How does that even work

What’s an example

this is an example

it's used to express visibility, so, like, there's literally no context where it would be useful to say "I am being visible"

that would just sound cringy and weird

@ophiuchus I can try to explain it better if you want

actually let's take this to the language channel on Identity Vdmvrtia

Haha!

verbs are dumb

nouns and prepositions only

well and the identity verb I guess is/are

It's fitting that English is the language of America really because it's a hybrid of so many European languages just as Americans are mostly Euromutts

hmm

I think that applies to any language in a sense
