This Week in Hiddlesland
>>143
Scots is a forced meme. AAVE has more grammatical departures from Standard English than Scots does and nobody considers that a separate language.
>>154 Not sure what AAVE is but Scots isn't just "grammatical departures from Standard English", maybe you're thinking of Scottish English.
🅱️🅱️V🅱️
>>155
I know what it is, I know what your arguments are for calling it a separate language. The main argument is that it's a dialect of Middle English that historically evolved separately from Standard English. Despite this claim of linguistic isolation, Scots shares most of the convergences that happened between Middle and Modern English, and it's also arguable that Scots was never fully isolated from Standard English to begin with. After all, you guys share an island.
You're just a dialect of English that says "wee bairns" and pronounces the gh in daughter, as far as I'm concerned. I once listened to a professor give a 30 minute lecture in Scots and I thought it was a total joke that he was acting like he was speaking a different language.
>>157 I would say the main argument is that it's how people talk in Scotland and none of that historical posturing (nice wikipedia skills). I don't know, you say you what it is and what the arguments are, but you seem to be making quite shallow observations about it. Do you think similarly about Norwegian compared to Danish, or other similar languages born from shared roots?
(I'm Welsh btw but my wife is Scottish)
Someone cluelessly trying to educate a Scottish person about their own language, who turned out to be Welsh, is the funniest thing I've seen so far today
>>149
Maybe this is bait for a language game, I never understood the issue people have with this.
Ok, plenty of people tend to overuse the term "literally" when the factual meaning of their full sentence is actually "figuratively" - however, people rarely seem to consider the (obvious) fact that "literally" is used as hyperbole for additional emphasis. It's usually clear from the context that the writer still intends the non-literal meaning to be understood. In fact, it's probably extremely unlikely that someone uses the term "literally" incorrectly, but rather it's much more likely that they deliberately use it subversively to exaggerate their statement.
The use of the term "figuratively" in the sense of:
"They're figuratively on fire."
Only serves to belittle the main premise of the statement. It's like saying "They're on fire, but not really haha it's just an expression", drawing attention away from the metaphor/simile/idk, the opposite of exaggeration. Why would teenage girls want to apply such a tone to their words? surely, they would be better off just saying "They're on fire" (which is easier to say than "They're literally on fire", anyway).
It's not like sentences have to make absolute factual sense, we can mix and mash metaphors and warp meanings without breaking understanding, it's part of the joy of speech. It's why we can stay stuff like "This sentence is false" or "I have no words". Meaning is greater than simple definitions.
Even if you disagree with that, keep in mind that there is no correct definition of a word. Language is constantly evolving, with plenty of definitions inverting over time as popular "mis-usage" becomes standard usage. And 'literally' has been used as a dramatic intensifier for centuries; see any of the number of examples available online that I'm too lazy to add here.
Anyway, what that means for you, >>149, is that you might be autistic.
Well, you see, >>160,
>It's not like sentences have to make absolute factual sense
>there is no correct definition of a word
Are things not everyone, or even many people, agree with. Really, most people are seeking shared values, but will move heaven and earth to avoid changing their own. Same goes with the use of language. Has it ever struck you that phrases like:
> I never understood the issue people have with this.
can come across as disingenuous? It seems to me you totally do understand. But the case you have made is less about not understanding ad more about not caring. It's your prerogative to not care, mind you. To mix and "mash" as you say, can be quite alright. To not care about shit that doesn't matter to you is an economic necessity; we only get so much time in this life. But deviating from established expressions makes a lot of people [sic].
There has long been a bit of a culture war going on between the importance objective and subjective values have, and language has long been one of the ways people posture themselves on this battlefield. Although I state it as a dichotomy, it is not. There are a great many people who prize objective truth who do not speak sincerely, and there are a great many sincere speakers who can't admit that what comes up must come down simply because they saw an exception. Boggles me greatly, being someone who values both objectivity and sincerity, but it seems to be the case.
>>161
Rather than understanding or caring, my only claim is that I do not understand why people care, though perhaps I should've chosen my words better given the discussion topic. And I hate to quote, but:
> deviating from established expressions makes a lot of people [sic].
What a wonderful use of language!!!!
Also, the insistence that "literally" should mean "an event that happened in reality" is itself a figurative usage of the word that literally means "pertaining to literature"
>>164
isn't that "literary", though? not trying to be a dick or anything, actual question.
>>165
They share the same root, but have different connotations (in part due to the different life that "literal" has taken on). Literary is more often used to refer to literature, literal is more often used to refer the individual wordings within literature.
The usage of literal meaning "straight forward/non-figurative/down to earth/etc." comes from the notion of interpreting a text "by the book" (i.e only using what is written), a "literal interpretation".
The word literal has left the domain of literature a long time ago. When most people mean "factual/non-hyperbole" they are taking this meaning of the word and extending its usage to oral speech, movies (making it possible to say "that scene wasn't meant to be taken 'literally'").
They are literally using the word figuratively.
Also, >>161 is an asshole.
>>163 Scots has different words and pronunciations than Scottish English. Trainspotting though, okay... I don't know what to tell you...
>>167
I'm sorry for being a dick earlier about your own country's language, but couldn't you just as easily argue those are dialect differences? What would you say are the differences between Scottish English dialects and Scots itself?

I had my first encounter with a smug Lisp weenie yesterday. I thought they were mythical creatures but no, here the guy was, stating his opinion as fact and being condescending about it. Bonus points for the overuse of 😄

I like LISP 😄
Please don't shout Lisp

There's apparently been two Red Scares, so the next one would technically be Red Scare 3.
red scare the podcast?
don't come to dqn just to boomerpost ok
Imagine an actual boomer on dqn. Unless it's the one putting things in the 'things from other places' thread where I can't tell whether it's endorsement or ridicule
I don't want to see what the cursed boomer shit of my own generation will look like, but I'm concerned, because I believe I'm seeing its precursors every day now.

Realized all too late that the reason it felt like my mother was snitching on me to the doctor with potentially humiliating details was precisely because she was trying to humiliate me.
I have such a brilliant mood today, and I don't know why. I feel like my blood's effervescent it's so weird.
There is a theory in my head that FLOSS desktops, with some modifiability in theory and the whole world open in terms of potential, could've been a starting point of a sort of UI renaissance despite all their other flaws. Like who cares if it's shit as long as there's experimentation. Being someone who translates as a hobby, I'm specifically thinking of like integrated dictionaries and hot-swappable locales.
Practical reality, of course, begs to differ. Nobody will adopt your idea and UI coding is hell on earth, apparently.
Being sophisticated doesn't just mean knowing synonyms...
This is my inflection point.

all the canceled webcomics accumulated in my head over the years make me sad
pretty much all comics are shit when i think about it, and webcomics doubly so. but i still wished to see those finished pieces of garbage, even when like partway through the author suddenly got replaced with a completely insane clone and changed it to something that offended me to the core.
which is something that happens concerningly often in webcomics actually, but its true that such changes of "art" are a huge productivity killer in a medium already infamous for falling behind schedule.
>>207
These virgin comics have too fallen beneath the mighty bonequest.
I have no sense.

Another one of those early 2000s era 3DSmax/photoshop blending text shitposts that people over analyze in yt comments

yeah it's nothing deep, it's just rare something hits my nostalgia buttons.
it's more like if there was a geocities fansite for 3001: A Reading & Math Odyssey then perfectly distilled into a low effort meme

I think it's a funny meme because there's a good chance a Japanese game dev from the early 90s could have tried to pass "change da world" as a poignant farewell message while working on an obscure RPG
I am stupid now.
