  • I never had seen a French person frowning at the worst possible attempt at French.

    Your French could sound like a seal having a stroke while tripping on acid, like a 1920 Ford T coughing on sugar reach diesel, like a dyslexic Albanian speaking Icelandic - and still the result will be at least an attempt at understanding and communication.

    Compare that to Germany, where one mispronounced syllable in a conversation with a native aboriginal make the same effect as if you were telling them a double 4-disk Enigma encrypted message.






  • I am honestly put off by people who really go by Marxist-Leninist schtick. This whole thing reminds of the old anecdote about a dialogue between a jew and God about the Holocaust: “I guess you had to be there”. Seeing privileged white kids run around the internet calling for good old Lenin/Stalin times are no better than bonehead Nazis fighting their own fears materialized as Yet Another [racist slur of your choice].

    It’s entertaining for like five minutes, but the joke gets tiresome very quickly.
