I’m in the yoo-fi camp. With “fi” like wifi. Which is why “an” is so shocking as the article.

Are you pronouncing it “oofy” or e-u-f-y… Because “an eufy XXXX” is wigging me out.

Aha that makes sense. I like it with the 2 color

That’s cool! I bet mmu code was rough. Any word on what the .22 device is?

R^2=0.03

A) I was thinking of getting a K1 speedy. Don’t know this 3d chameleon

B) what’s the .22 thing?

8 up zero down yo. Maybe you’re using those features, but looks like it’s not exactly controversial not using them.

Y tho?

I’ve done split view on purpose like twice ever. The bubble mode and most split view things are an unwelcome accident IMO.

Voyager Mobile is short swipe to upvote and long swipe to downvote. Sometimes mistakes happen.

Wish I had more upvotes to give.

One missing point:

git stash $NAME lets you name a stash, and then you also can pop with that name to restore.

Super useful if you’re doing something with plotting or presenting data and you want to try a few easy variants to see what you like most. I don’t use it all the time but it’s good to know.

Bro I can’t finish getting myself into it

More like choosing names like Fae Wilds.

You’ve summarized my dislike of modern art and modern dance in one sentence.

True fact.

There ARE two "R"s in strawberry.

There’s also a third one, but you can’t have three without having two.

Yes elan is moridin. They have a sit and chat in one Rands later visions, and even resemble each other as I recall.

No mention of the rush of the ending? Who WAS Elan and why the link to Rand? So many questions left

So you understood most of what I meant, but we missed slightly. I agree that irregular verbs might be misconjugated or that they may tend back toward regular conjugations (see for example “to plead” in the legal sense, or “to hang” in the execution sense), but I specifically meant mismatched count. As a stickler, I would sometimes put lack of use of subjunctive or adding it unnecessarily (though the second is pretty uncommon) in the realm of a mistake but that could be because I like it and hate to see it fall out of use.

Also yes that’s what I was meaning for indirect and direct object pronouns (to/for whom vs who, or maybe more simply him/her/me vs he/she/I). Here you could also include “myself” or “themselves” or the slightly less natural sounding “themself”. I was trying to craft an example of creating a misunderstanding in English but it didn’t work as well as it does in Spanish for example where you can accidentally create reflexive verbs with a different meaning. I suppose though you are right: these are not mistakes a native speaker can really make because they have the knowledge that the word is changing.

For countability, I assume you mean the question of less vs fewer, and when you might pluralize words like ”water" and when you don’t. That is indeed an interesting topic.

Prestige dialects are not an example of a direction I would like to go, but as a counter I really appreciate that French DOES have the French academy to decide what is proper and what is not.

Im an American, I only speak one language natively because there’s not exactly a variety of spoken languages in the Midwest. Since high school though I’ve been “collecting” languages though and am passably conversant in a few. My wife’s extended family is all in France so French has been an important skill to develop. For me, the fact is that “deviations” from the book usually result in losing track of the meaning or losing track of the conversation. English is already hard enough without adding even more irregularity, so I tend to lean in on being precise and I think it’s a worthwhile effort. It is a real source of stress when the shoe is on the other foot.

You can pick a word besides ”correct" but it means sort of the same thing either way: we are moving individual variations of language toward the collective standard.

Languages all have categories of words, general rules for how those categories are applied, exceptions to the rules, and idiomatic parts to name a few. Misconjugating a word is not evolution of language, it is a mistake. Mismatching count is also a mistake. Mixing direct and indirect object pronouns is a mistake. The risk is not “i don’t understand you”, it is rather that I did understand you, but what I understand is not what you mean. You can call it a “unique linguistic quirk”, but if it leads to people misunderstanding you it’s a mistake. And yeah, pushing mistakes under a rug of " it’s descriptivism" is just as gross as any allegory to runaway cell growth.

If everyone understands you and its not a perfectly grammatically correct construction and lots of people start to use it, sure this is evolution of language. Every deviation is not that.
