You might want to learn to speak before calling others low IQ, fool. We all feel dumber every time we try to decipher your unintelligible, inarticulate, incoherent, desperate, jumbled and muddled ramblings. Honestly, you would fail first grade English. If you even speak English, your IQ must be subterranean....but we all know you aren't really American, Dmitri.
Хуй тебе́!

Glad to know you know about women being too nice. And then there is the old canard "boys will be boys." I've been saying for years that we need to learn from each other. Men need to work on empathy and women need to work on straightforwardness.

This video isn't meant to rehash the past, though. It is a template for good hearted and well meaning tea drinkers to go into the future thinking about things differently.

Not all tea drinkers are well meaning, of course.

But first we need to define consent. Boys learn to ask and girls learn to speak up clearly.

And then practice practice practice, yeah?

Actually no, I know I have an Irish accent. And yes, everyone has some kind of accent, but it's a question of degrees. A Scottish accent or a deep south US accent is far more pronounced than a neutral English accent.

The point is that an accent is a deviation from standard pronunciation.

I guess that if an AI "learned" language from Die Antwoord, it would have a South African accent. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a scene where Dev Patel leaves and finds the robot has learned to speak while he was away.

Anyway, as I said... because movies.

Hugh Jackmans haircut is still stupid though

So if the chimp has spent every day with humans since being a baby, when did it learn to speak chimp? I mean - Humans have different languages, we learn the language we're subjected to. If this chimp has only been exposed to Humans - where does it's language come from? For that matter, is it speaking the same language of other chimps? Will they understand it?

sorry, no hable chingalera

learn to speak like a normal human person please. I don't have time for your pleas for attention. I'm not your mommy

"The living language is like a cowpath: it is the creation of the cows themselves, who, having created it, follow it or depart from it according to their whims or their needs. From daily use, the path undergoes change. A cow is under no obligation to stay in the narrow path she helped make, following the contour of the land, but she often profits by staying with it and she would be handicapped if she didn't know where it was or where it led to." --E.B. White

Little known fact: many irregular verbs started out as regular ones, and over time changed to irregular. One example is "drive." It used to be drive/drived/drived. Then, in what was to become Canada and the U.S., people started saying drive/drove/driven. English who visited the colonies were so distressed at this that they raised alarms about the deterioration of the language. One included, "What's next? 'dive/dove/diven'?" At the time, "dive" was also a fully regular "~ed" verb, and in time, it too changed to "dive/dove", but not "diven". Is our language now in a fallen state?

In a population, young people, typically, are the language innovators. Almost all permanent change to language comes originally from teenagers. So now some young people are saying "text/text/text". Looking at other verbs which follow the pattern --cut/cut/cut, cost/cost/cost, put/put/put, hit/hit/hit-- it seems there's a pattern: they all end in "t". Seems like the language is continuing to evolve in the same way it always has. Whether this language innovation will stick has yet to be seen.

But language will change from the way you learned to speak it. There is no doubt about that. You can accept it, or you can get stressed, but it's happening.

I couldn't understand him either.


Learn to speak retard, retard. (In my defence, he's the one that poked fun at women's cancer.)

I think it's not a reference to biology, but to that they're jointly initiating and managing the process. It represents the best of relationships.

Then what the hell is wrong with we're going to have a baby? I'm with Boise_Lib, pregnant has a specific meaning and there is a perfectly acceptable way of saying what they want to say. It just makes my brain bend in a way I don't like. It's not important, it just bugs me.


It's a fair point to discuss.

I think, though, it's not the figurative use of language that bothers a portion of the audience in this case, but probably the overly sweet quality. The figurative use of language is a bystander.

We don't normally object to this common use of language:

"We're driving to the store now."

"No you're not! Unless your car has 2 steering wheels, one of you is driving, and the other of you is riding! Learn 2 speak."

Hopefully there's someone of Japanese/Chinese/some other Asian descent who can answer this for me.
Why is it that I can pronounce "walk", "wok" AND "werrrrrrk", yet this guy can't? I also hope no one thinks I'm racist, I'm just ignorant.


The other replies to this were great, but I thought I'd chime in with a "shoe on the other foot" anecdote.

I am an American but I moved to Thailand almost 5 years ago to teach ESL English. I've been working on learning to speak and understand Thai. My comprehension is reasonable now, but my speaking is more mediocre and native Thai listeners sometimes have to guess what I am shooting for based on context, etc.

The tough part is tones. Depending on the pitch, in Thai the word "kow" can mean rice, white, mountain, or knee. A tongue-twister my students use is "krai kai kai gai" which means "who sells chicken eggs", if you get the tones right.

I think that if I live here another 20 years I could probably get to be fluent in Thai comprehension, but I'll never be good in pronunciation of the tones like a native Thai speaker. I can definitely get by and have a functional command of the language, but to a native Thai ear I will always have poor pronunciation somewhat analogous to this guy's inability to say walk/wok/weerrrrrk.

@dystopianfuturetoday, so I'm not supposed to use certain words in my conversation because you find them scary?

The phrase "central design" is scary to you? I'll try to change my "rhetoric" to best suit you, then. Now excuse me while I head to the video store to rent the first season of Strawberry Shortcake. I have a lot to learn about speaking to children.

This guy hasn't even learned to speak so I know he never finished school - so where does he get the money?
And did look at the house in the background? He either has rich parents, his money comes from crime or he is self employed somehow - and he is smarter than he comes off...

This video screams of stereotyping - and how can it not, this is the classic example of a non-educated, "Man of colour", sporting gold "Bling", and bragging about all the money he has.

His money is in cash and not in a bank. Most people I know who have money don't brag - and the more they have, the less they look like they have it. This guy spreads money around like it's a big deal - like even he hasn't seen that kind of money before and he needs to show it off.

This is the type of stuff that creates the stereotype and gives black males a bad name. It's the type of thing that makes a person say, "He's either a rapper or a drug dealer!"

I'd love to know how he got all that cash, because I'm doing something wrong!
Maybe he isn't a stereotype, He could be the atypical example of a brilliant businessman!?

Any more comments or opinions out there - I'd like to hear it...
