Lmfao, she literally walks off a cliff. I lost it at that part XD

When Cyclops fell she didn't even try to give him a hand or anything.

This is hilarious, she's always tripping or falling down or something is too heavy. Lmfao.

Random question of the day:

Should we be free to pronounce words however we want to pronounce them?

 

[Ayama]

Heck no xD ​

 

[Jannah]

No. Languages have set conventions for a reason.

 

[Soot]

Probably not, but language diversity & evolution + dialects exist. The debate over how to say 'gif' is another can of worms though.

 

[Abendrot]

Dialectal variation exists y’all.

 

[ashwynne]

Within reason. As mentioned, different dialects mean various words have different pronunciations already.

The English pronounce lieutenant as left-tenant
American English pronounce it as loo-tenant.

There are myriad other examples as well! I definitely don’t think we should throw general conventions out the window but there’s definitely a middle ground. (Though ofc if everyone pronounced everything however they felt like, we would have a hodge-podge language that few would verbally understand lol)

That's a fair point. I mentioned dialects and variations because there is a tendency to believe that there's only 'one correct way' to pronounce a word -- but of course, conventional pronunciations exist for a reason.

Random question of the day:

Have you ever written fanfiction before?

 

[Malozing]

Yes. Not sharing it....

 

[ashwynne]

Yup!! Not for years and never finished them, but I've dabbled for a fair few fandoms. The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Warrior cats, Star Wars... among many others. I spend a lot of time daydreaming alternate endings/plotlines/scenarios for my favourite pieces of fiction and sometimes I like the idea enough to write a bit of it down.

 

[Jannah]

Not really tbh. I just went straight to RP.

 

[Yamperzzz]

I have a couple but I prefer to keep them to myself, even though I try my best to not make them cringey. They're mostly sequel ideas for some of my favorite games and shows, but I'm working out the plot. Maybe someday!

 

[Soot]

It's how I got into reading and writing, in fact. I've plenty of WIPs though, since none of them are finished . . .

Same here. I got started writing fanfiction, and then transitioned into RPing ^^ ​
