I live in a pretty international place, and when i was still on bumble, this kinda tracks. Every most chinese person i talked to, mainly talked business. The secone tging they askes was pretty much always what your job is and if it's a good job. Sometimea the racism as well

Oof, you really aughta give that a spell check once over my friend. It's on the edge of unintelligible.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 2 points 52 minutes ago* (last edited 51 minutes ago)

I didnt notice any spelling mistakes until i got to sometimea, but i am dyslexic :^)

lol yall are reading in phonics or something? Reading a syllable at a time?

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 35 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

aughta

Ought to.

I understood what they meant in any case.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Yep, I definitely didn't do that on purpose. You're right.

I actually had a hard time reading their comment. Maybe it's because I was just waking up, but it's generally a good idea to at least read what you've typed once before hitting submit.

Edit: also you're wrong. https://www.oed.com/dictionary/oughta_v?tl=true This word has been in use with this spelling since 1840. Language is fluid, Words are defined be how they are used, not the other way around.

Be a pedant about your own spelling first.

[–] leg@leminal.space 4 points 2 hours ago

I always find it odd how people take this kinda thing as an insult. "I can't read what you wrote because it has too many errors" is, like, one of the first things you encounter when learning to write. It's just a simple statement of fact. Cool it.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

I wasn't trying to be pedantic I legitimately had a hard time reading that.

"Sure. Send me 10,000¥ and I'll teach you first lesson."

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 1 points 30 minutes ago

哈哈哈哈哈哈 is laughter in 汉语, those messages are in 英语

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 30 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

[–] bartvbl@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The Spanish use jajajajaja afaik

[–] dindresto@lemmy.korz.dev 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

As a German, this always confuses me

j is spoken similar to an h in Spanish. Juan is basically almost Huan.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Koreans use ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ (hhhhh) and ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (kkkkk). They also put ~~~~~ everywhere, apparently that makes things less serious.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

In Japan they'll use either 笑笑笑 or wwww. Sometimes you see ハハハ which is a transliteration of hahaha.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 3 points 1 hour ago

Or there is the classic 草

[–] T4V0@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

It’s due to how the letter is spelled in brazilian portuguese, it more of a 'kah' sound, like a cackle.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 46 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Thanks for this. Whenever I type that sound, it's intended as like an exasperated sigh

[–] starik@lemmy.today 10 points 12 hours ago

I read it as hiss, but with a slack jaw and staring blankly ahead, like a zombie

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 29 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Isn’t philo-Semitism awesome?

[–] starik@lemmy.today 10 points 12 hours ago

It really is. “You’re so smart and know how to make lots of money. You must be the reason I don’t have lots of money. I want to kill you.”
