I haven't met many people who aren't. You know when people don't stand up for someone who's being ganged up on? They're cowards.
For comparison, my dad saw a group of youths attacking a Japanese man he didn't know. My dad got involved anyway and started fighting them. A girl tried to spray acid on him.
Then there's the people here lol. -

I haven't found someone worthy. Take Myers for example, he could never be my friend because he once stated he wouldn't intervene if he saw a woman getting raped. Then there's the lack of respect and sexism toward women because of his culture that he seems unaware of.
I can't form a meaningful friendship with a coward because I'm not one myself, and there is no friendship without mutual respect. I'd rather be alone than have fake friends. -

2024-07-14 at 5:58 PM UTC in Donald Trump just got shot"Banjax" is an informal term, primarily used in Ireland and the UK, meaning to ruin, incapacitate, or break something¹². For example, you might say, "He banjaxed his knee in the game," meaning he seriously injured it.
It's a colorful word that adds a bit of flair to descriptions of damage or destruction. Do you enjoy learning about unique words like this?

2024-07-14 at 5:55 PM UTC in Donald Trump just got shotIrish English, also known as Hiberno-English, has some unique grammatical features influenced by both the English and Irish (Gaelic) languages. Here are a few notable aspects:
1. **Reduplication**: This involves repeating words for emphasis, such as "very, very" or "now, now"¹.
2. **Yes and No**: Instead of simply saying "yes" or "no," Irish English often repeats the verb from the question. For example:
- "Did you see the movie?" "I did."
- "Are you coming?" "I am"¹.
3. **Recent Past Construction**: The phrase "after" is used to indicate a recent action, such as "I'm after eating" to mean "I have just eaten"¹.
4. **Reflection for Emphasis**: This involves using reflexive pronouns for emphasis, like "I did it myself"¹.
5. **Prepositional Pronouns**: Combining prepositions with pronouns, such as "with him" becoming "withhim"¹.
6. **Use of "To Be"**: The verb "to be" is often used in ways that reflect Gaelic influences, such as "He is to be married"¹.
These features make Irish English distinct and reflect the rich linguistic heritage of Ireland.
Is there a particular feature of Irish English grammar that interests you the most?

2024-07-14 at 5:49 PM UTC in Donald Trump just got shotI hate English even more now. To only find out now I haven't been speaking British English. There's way to many rules to learn.
