I thought this was an onion article until I checked the comments

Every Indo European language is just a very thick Proto-Indo-European dialect after all

Trochę późno przyszłem na ten post, ale nie znaczy że nie mogę przyjść i skomentować

In polish that would be “jaja” when means “balls” (as in testicles) so no polish people don’t really do that

Indeed, a lot of the UK transphobic stuff that is happening right now is based off this conspiracy theory, trans women are no longer considered equal to cis women because of this

What if a patient was committing crimes?

til french isn’t an Indo European language

The country is called the United Kingdom, the island is called Great Britain, the group of islands including Ireland (the island) and Great Britain is called the British Isles, and England is one of the constituent countries of the UK

To make it even more confusing, some languages, like Polish, call the United Kingdom the equivalent of “Great Britain”

I can understand a scary amount of this

Dialects exist

cap and pan

Clearly, the solution is to make your own writing system for English and then have noone use it so it just looks like weird gibberish to them

“Y lov tu réd, y red an intarestiŋ buk tüdá.”

Understandable have a great day (technically this isn’t even wrong since there’s no such thing as wrong in linguistics, it’s just non standard)

If you also make up a way to pronounce them, a grammar and potentially a culture to go with it, you’ve just made a conlang

I know there are people with two, you could ask what they do ig

Media landscapes can be vastly different for different people, and if they’re surrounded by media “confirming” their conspiracies, they will choose to believe that rather than what “some random people” say

this whole “valuing specific humans are inherently inferior to others and can’t be saved” business reminds me of something…

Misinformation is what you wanna target, not the victims

This is also used on town/city signs to indicate when you are leaving it (at least in Poland)

The background angle is way off, I think they just applied an image as a background in editing

There’s a web version you can use just fine
