Oof. I think you’re right (2wks later, dangit!), Eiim.
Sorry about that. :S

@Servais@discuss.tchncs.de @discuss.tchncs.de, that was rude of me, and I apologise.

FWIW, I’ve posted a general apology in our sub’s general update if you care to look. Sorry again.

@Comment105@lemm.ee,

I’d personally attack you with something far worse than a silly goose. If I was on my reddit account!

Hmm, what do you think about rabbits instead of geese…?

German and Dutch are very close languages, but in complete different places in this tree.

So maybe we could use a better platform for understanding? (hence my original point?)

(Modern German and Dutch are both from the West-Germanic tree, last I checked)

specific graphems

Okay, fine, granted-- but how does that actually help anyone in this day & age learn about these languages?

AS IN– dude, we don’t need to carry a master’s degree in order to understand how English formed out of Anglo-Saxon, with Norman French overlaid on top, now do we?

EDIT: Oh rabbits, no, it’s ME whose wrong. Whups…

Seriously.

Now I’m no scholar, but categorising English as part of the Celtic-branch is just ridoinkulous to me. Like-- that might have been true since before the Roman conquest, but Modern English is easily a West-Germanic branch, overlaid with Norman French, starting in 1066.

both choices suck

What puerile nonsense.

Trump already demonstrated that he was a complete disaster and Russian asset, and I hate linking to the evil empire, but:

Also maybe do something with some teeth, not just empty words.

What about creating some kind of govt program designed to help shoppers out?

For examples-- help with coupons, help with identifying best stores to shop at, help with delivery perhaps, help give incentives to customer-friendly stores, help shoppers best plan for cost & nutrition, etc etc?
