Depends on your position on that. Special military operation to give Christmas back its rightful place in the year.

The war on Christmas…

Isn’t Al Gore vs Bush an even better example?

Don’t remind me of that… but you are right thought, I did fall victim to one of the classic blunders

Remindes me of when I, a fool, fell victim to one of the classic blunders

I’m fine with illusion. Nothing is real anyway

This is three dimensional and the water reflects what is above?? The future is now!

Reminds me of the Lingthusiasm episode where the Canadian and the Australian hosts discuss a book about the differences between British and American English. Both fell somewhere in between

You got it all wrong! Babbel is an app to learn other languages, no punishment of any sort.

Just kidding, it’s an app to make monkey, not to help people.

it’s less that English simplified them and more that it never developed case marks for them.

Well, Old English baggs to differ. English lost its case markings on articles early on and kept them on nouns a while longer while German kept them on articles and simplified nouns much more early on.

In contrast, not only German repurposed the demonstrative “der” (that, which, who) into an article in a cleaner way

… as did English with “se”/“þē” which started as a demonstrative the same way der/die/das did.

but it’s also dumping most grammatical case info into the article

Again, German didn’t dump anything into articles but rather lost it everywhere else.

There is this idea that this fostered the process of using der/die/das much more often (which made it from a demonstrative to an article) but I disagree because it was a widespread process, not only in German but in huge parts of Europe, including beside Romance languages also English were this reasoning doesn’t work (as shown above).

I see you speak Fr*nch

Hmmm, malt

Ist das der Flügel der Grünen, der außer beim Wahlprogramm nichts zu sagen hat? Oder geht es gar nicht um die Partei?

Yes, grief has to have limits otherwise it’s not healthy. You have to get over your loss and continue your life after 30min.

But that’s the point. You don’t need a knife to cut baguette. Just break it. With a knife, the Fr*nch can eat real bread, or “Schwarzbrot” as we call it in Germany
