On the contrary, we know how to take diverse ingredients and create a more eclectic, palatable linguistic recipe than the bland ingredients are in pure form.I gave you a Scottish phrase for you to ponder with your superior "butchered" American English.
Two things, many Americans can't/don't grasp the Scottish accent/dialect.On the contrary, we know how to take diverse ingredients and create a more eclectic, palatable linguistic recipe than the bland ingredients are in pure form.
On the contrary, we have a far more diverse verbal palette than you do, and have the ability to emulate other dialects far better than you can emulate ours. Our nation dwarfs yours in resources of all kinds, including intellectual resources.Two things, many Americans can't/don't grasp the Scottish accent/dialect.
Also, Webster gave you a dumbed down version of English so there was no need for you to use both brain cells.
16th Century word -Maybe this can be a word of the day type thread? I think it would be fun.
I'll start with a word that I just heard for the first time a couple months ago and I have been pondering the meaning quite a lot.
sonder n.
the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness — an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you'll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
I have always loved poetry and song lyrics as literary art forms as well as sociology, psychology and philosophy and I did have a realization of this concept and in fact applied it as the "Walk a mile in another's shoes" but i think sonder is a much deeper concept
This word encompasses so much of all these varied interests of mine that I find it fascinating. Maybe we as people should realize this concept. it might just make us all a little kinder to each other.
