hmm

@mcstubbs Why do you even ask?

I actually am having this problem

@Deleted User You're also wrong, yet again. Polish emerged in the 10th century whereas English emerged sometime around the middle of the 5th century.

@Deleted User I need a citation on that.

Marshmallows and some sweets work hut I cant use just that to encourage eating

I don't want a twig

I want a hooman

i mean, they may come to their senses and begin eating soon enough

how long have they been abstaining from eating for?

3 years

oh

shit

<:GWnanamiEmiliaSMH:405043478028877824>

Including the passing of this year

Technically its 2 full years and almost a half

But yeah...

@Deleted User The polish language started in the 6th cenutury you dumbass.

This doesnt seem to be something they will snap out of soon

i mean, you could try not sparing the rod and taking away privileges

like games or toys or the like

@Deleted User Wrong. Polish as a distinct language emerged out of the Western Slavic language group around the 10th century.

i feel like if you use the carrot tactic they might develop some sort of pavlovian response where they expect things in return for eating

but you gotta instill that not eating is a bad thing

If you're referring to Old Polish, that arose in the 9th century.

Tru

@Deleted User Oh if we want to count old polish, then we have to account for old english as well, don't we?

i wouldn't go as far as actual abuse, of course, but i think this is one of those things where you have to use the stick

@Deleted User Yeah, and it arose in the 9th century but wasn't considered "distinct" until the 10th.

i didn't mean to start a language history debate, guys

@Deleted User Middle english actually started around 1100, which means that english as we know it, started around that time, if didn't even become popular until the 1300's.

i just wanted to make a joke about the polish language being hard to pronounce

@Deleted User Compared to most other European languages, there is very little difference between Old and Modern Polish.

Which therefore means that middle polish is older than that of middle english.

And? How does that matter in this case? We are talking about the age of the languages.
