When you put all three parts of these memes together, what's the secret message?

To repeat an interweb truism...

English isn't a language; it's three smaller languages sitting on each other's shoulders and wearing a long coat and a fedora.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

To repeat another interweb truism...

English is closer to Chinese/Japanese as a pictographic system, since there are so many exceptions to the phonetic rules, syntax, and grammar that govern it, that it's often easier to just memorize whole words and phrases, than to guess how to use them from alphabet alone

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And the other one:

"English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary"

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

It did come from England. So that tracks.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Never heard that one, but it's true. When I need to spell a word I ask "does it look right?"

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You forgot the dark alley and truncheon...

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's a comment that you can use on pretty much any post on any subject.

"This is my mother's recipe for lemon zest cake..."

You forgot the dark alley and truncheon…

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My mom forgot about the dark alley part though so it was public.

Yeah that's true but the English language is known for stealing words.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Counterpoint it's not theft if you're related and they clearly weren't using it. Also it's not theft if they stole something first, looking at you Japan stealing our swear words you fucking cock sucking bastards.

Wait till you notice the "ueue" in "queue"

[–] MemmingenFan923@feddit.org 17 points 2 months ago

80% of the letters are silent.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

“kyu-ee-oo-ee”

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

That's a good one too

[–] cod@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The letters are lined up in a queue

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Every single q word has a completely superfluous u

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Qat would like a word, and that word is qat

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Qat did you say? I com hear you

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Lysergid@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Came to comment same. Though, I prefer “Oushen”

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Lysergid@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Auchan? 🇫🇷🇪🇺

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

At least it's not as f-d up as French where dudes casually ignore like half of the letters in a sentence.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Have you experienced Danish? They swallow more let's than the French by a metric mile

And do numbers over 80 even weirder

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Weirder than four twenty ten nine?

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

90 in Danish (halvfems written) is based on the value 4,5 times 20 = 90. "Halvfems" is short for "halvfem-sinds-tyve" which means "4,5"-"times"-"20"

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

This is why I found French confusing.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tha mi an dòchas nach coinnich thu ris a’ Ghàidhlig

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

I mean, it might be interesting. To be clear, I don't dislike French, it's quite fun, just weird at times

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well now I'm going to think of this randomly for no reason...

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Enjoy your day! Bwahaha

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Spent far too long thinking how annoying that guys hair cut is.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I enjoy how long the girls neck is in the final panel

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

From now on, I'm going to call it the "Pacific ocean", where the first c is pronounced as "c" and the last one as "c".

Also what a missed opportunity to call it the pacifi-c! Get it? The pacifi-sea? I'm very funny I know haha I should start a standup comedy show I will earn millions and I will become rich and famous and make my homies proud. Baking a cake requires four ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder and grandma's heart. By heart, I mean her love. Not her heart actually. That will kill her. But she is already dead :( I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(.

I'm sorry. I don't speak Spanish.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dude, that's clearly Romanian.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Sorry I'm American

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Don’t worry. Trump will rename it soon.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

English is dumb. It's Pacifiko in Esperanto.
