I'm American who grew up in Florida with a mother who grew up in Puerto Rico, with tons of Spanish exposure, and I still read that as "yah yah yah yah yah"

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

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

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 4 points 11 hours ago

Or there is the classic 草

[–] T4V0@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

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

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

[–] starik@lemmy.today 12 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 83 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 36 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (7 children)

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

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours 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 41 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

aughta

Ought to.

I understood what they meant in any case.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 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.

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

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn’t philo-Semitism awesome?

[–] starik@lemmy.today 13 points 22 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.”
