General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

Native speakers always have worse grammar than people that learn as a second language tho, I remember all the Spanish speakers were terrible at Spanish in school bc it wasn't the way they talked at home lol

 

[Canadian Dragon]

dont want none is also technically a double negative and not technically proper, right?

 

[Chris]

Yeah lol it would technically mean you do want some bc if the negatives

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Yeah lol it would technically mean you do want some bc if the negatives

yeah , but I suppose <<you would not like any>> doesn't sound as "hard"

 

[Chris]

Double negatives like that are probably the most common grammar error just accepted at this point bc everyone knows what you mean and at this point the proper phrasing sounds more awkward

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I think also a thing that kind of "changed the game" was chat rooms and social media. before that there was spoken english and written english (same with every other language_

 

[Canadian Dragon]

but with texting and internet, spoken english became semi acceptable written english

 

[Canadian Dragon]

more n more so everyday really

 

[Canadian Dragon]

like as a French speaker I am almost certain some tenses and conjugations are just gonna straight up die over time

 

[Chris]

When I learned Spanish there was a conjugation we didn't even learn bc it's only used in Spain and central and South American speakers already did away with it

 

[Chris]

So essentially yeah

 

[Canadian Dragon]

french would make ur head spin theres legit like 10 tenses

 

[Canadian Dragon]

10+

 

[Canadian Dragon]

its ridiculous lol

 

[Chris]

Lmao I think there was 8 in Spanish and we cut one so 7
