What was the highest song in your top 100 with a location name in the title? (real or fictional, generic or specific)
Everyone who's hyped for the movie or loves the musical PLEASE READ it's so good
Uh. "knee" is a masculine noun in Portuguese. Idk what your coach was doing. It's "o joelho"...
i love it actually when nonnative speakers make mistakes that reveal how their native languages work.
lots of koreans online say they "eat" drinks which would assume they only have one word which covers the concept of consumption.
arabic immigrants in sweden (my mother included) have a hard time differentiating between "i think/i believe/my opinion is" which suggests that in arabic these different modalities of speaker agency is treated as one or at least interchangeable.
swedish speakers in english will use should/shall/have to/must with much higher nuance precision than native english speakers, to the point where they sound well awkward, because the distinction between these commands in swedish is much clearer than in english. i make mistakes between is/am/are and has/have constantly because swedish only has one pronoun covering all grammatical persons.
i've heard speakers of languages without gendered pronouns (finnish, the chinese dialects, and a tonne more) make he/she mistakes because it's hard(!!) to learn two or more gendered pronouns and when to use them correctly.
how neat is that?! it add a charm to international english usage in particular and make our appreciation of both our native languages and our learnt ones stronger...!!
I honestly think Ariana did a perfect job as Glinda because she kinda *is* our real-life Glinda. Shallow, pretty, popular, narcissistic, betraying people left and right for her own benefit... but under all of that, still human. I bet she regrets a lot of her questionable life choices.
what people need to understand is that ariana grande is able to pull off every single one of galinda's physical gags because that woman was in the comedy trenches of nickelodeon's victorious and anyone who was forced to show feet in front of dan schneider is walking away with a level of commitment to the bit that human beings were not built to perceive

Going back to sleep is so powerful im a huge fan of going back to sleep
This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.
If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.
Effeminate dentist: You need to brush more on your gums-- hold on why am I "effeminate?" What? I'm literally just a normal dentist. A masculine one, even.
Me: (struggling to speak through the dentist's fingers) youw weren't shupposhed to shee that

I literally love being a mammal sooooo much like im soft and warm and get to love other soft warm and nice smelling creature. In the winter I like to get wrapped up so as to stay warm and dry. Its just my #MammalWay. I eat fruits which are sweet as well and I can use germs to make breads cheese and wine. I cant wait to retire to my burrow tonight. And when you touch gently my mammal body it feels good.....omggggg
