things english speakers know, but don’t know we know.

WOAH WHAT?

That is profound. I noticed this by accident when asked about adjectives by a Japanese student. She translated something from Japanese like “Brown big cat” and I corrected her. When she asked me why, I bluescreened.

I love English, the language where you can drive on a parkway but park in a driveway. Order in chaos!  

Tbf you can rearrange several of those categories and it’s not weird at all, like “green rectangular” is just as acceptable as “rectangular green”. And all languages do similar things – like having a preferred order for “black and white” or “salt and pepper”. The only people who think English is so ~weird and ~difficult are native English speakers, cos we have such limited experience of other languages!

Carl and Gary answer the question “What’s the worst gig you’ve ever played?” “How long have we got?!” Carl describes the first demise of the Libertines as a “staggering crumble… that sounds like some kind of dessert doesn’t it?” and says he once went and thanked the Wu Tang Clan for supporting them, lol. (Sorry the sound is so tinny!)

My view of the boys singing I Say a Little Prayer at Victorious. I’m still not over them singing “I will love you, forever and ever/Together, together, that’s how it must be” so intimately together 💖 Also note: Carl smacking Peter on the bum with the drumsticks @ 1.14, haha.

uhhhhhhhhh i just figured out that “ofc” is “of fucking course” but this whole time i’ve been reading it “ofcourse” ………… anyway if u need a dumbass just hmu

No one in the history of internet abbreviations has ever used “ofc” to mean “of fucking course”. There’s way too many of these “ohhh i just realised this thing means [something it has never actually meant]” around lately and people need to just stop making up these bullshit backronyms to mess with people!
