I'm learning today

What about the Welsh

want more?

Sure

I like learning

not going to argue that, my english is fucked, somewhat of a mix between every part of the world, including the african bush.

What did you go to uni for ruger?

" killed a teenage Islamic State fighter with a handmade custom blade, and then performed his re-enlistment ceremony posing with the teenager’s bloody corpse in front of an American flag."

Fucking G

Killing ISIS terrorists is now considered a war crime?

another fucking thing mutts do is "I could care less", this is a categorically incorrect statement. the original phrase is "I could**n't** care less" meaning that on the topic at hand the phrase is used to mean that the amount of care is already at zero. when you say "I could care less" that phrase would suggest that on the topic at hand your level of care is greater than zero because you have the ability to reduce your care to zero.

i don't think fighting terrorists counts as war. so hes not guilty.

It's the second part that got him in shit the posing with dead bodies shit

It is illegal to take pictures of dead combatants

not exactly professional

To be fair, if it's an ISIS scumbag who's done the same and worse, he had it coming.

That's just slang though

It really doesn't matter Ruger calm down

No sympathy for terorrists, especially ISIS cunts who literally burnt people alive. Kids included.

it does matter

i can understand they are investigating it though, professional soldiers are supposed to uphold a higher standard.

its the fucking language we use to communicate meaning

It matters to Ruger.

I guess

wait, people write could instead of couldn't ?

"could" is not equal to "couldn't" if we start blurring these definitions, communication becomes more difficult

I'll come back after your rant

Is Ruger on a rant?

like is it unreasonable to ask that one country raises its education level so this doesnt happen, instead of you know telling the rest of the world that they have to now operate on their retarded interpretation?

for a language they didnt even create

well society is based on catering to the lowest denominator.

everyone is with us and all that.

then again, trying to weed out bad habits is really hard to do.

There's a Stephen Fry quote that has always stuck with me, "You think you're a guardian of language, you're no more a guardian of language than the kennel club are guardians of dog-kind."

If the meaning is clear, I don't see a problem.

but it isn't clear. could and couldn't are opposites.

You still understand what they meant to say.

^

well not polar, but yeah

not always

I just don't see the point in getting pedantic about language when the speaker's intentions are clear.
