Having politicians so deeply ingrained in your mind you dream of them is kind of horrible.

Is it just me or is the answer to most of these recent videos simply ‘you’d die’?

I am angry that this outcome makes me happy.

Spell- and grammar-checking is useless anyway. If you don’t have at least one word underlined with red in every sentence, you’re not writing anything intellectually serious. 🧐

How do you win an award from editing Wikipedia?

But that won’t fuel the internet discourse™!

It seems that a good part of Pullum’s account is based simply on information from Everett, resulting in the particularly skewed picture of the situation and accusations.

All I’ve read from/about this guy makes him sound like an anime villain.

Admittedly this is on LOTR memes comm, so a little bit of fantasy is surely permitted ;)

Plural elves has been the standard before Tolkien: https://www.websters1913.com/words/Elf

As for dwarves, this is what Wikipedia has to say, with reference to P. Gilliver et al. The Ring of Words: Tolkien and the Oxford English Dictionary:

Modern English has two plurals for the word dwarf: dwarfs and dwarves. Dwarfs remains the most commonly employed plural. The minority plural dwarves was recorded as early as 1818. However, it was later popularized by the fiction of philologist and legendarium author J. R. R. Tolkien, originating as a hypercorrective mistake. It was employed by Tolkien for some time before 1917.[6] Regarding his use of this plural, Tolkien wrote in 1937, “I am afraid it is just a piece of private bad grammar, rather shocking in a philologist; but I shall have to go with it.”[6]

Funny how I never see this statement posted on /c/memes@lemmy.ml

Better chances to vote it away than shitpost it away, as far as Lemmy’s options go.

The emails also revealed the rich pedophiles manipulated quanon to their advantage

They don’t reveal that.

Every word he writes is important.

Do you see my comment? That means you haven’t followed Tyler’s wise advice. You should try it again!

Is this loss?

People claim it was blown out of proportion (with inflated numbers) or that it was presented selectively (without mentioning Bosniak and Croatian atrocities). This is a relatively frequent idea among American leftists, at least the more radical circles which are common on Lemmy.

Similar to Ukraine, tbh. Basically, nothing has to be “clear and obvious” if you don’t want it to be.

Keep in mind you’re on a site where a solid number of users might downplay or relativise Srebrenica.

Khan made lots of kids tho. This one did it just for the love of the game.
