We’re not talking about those words, I don’t play whataboutism.
Whatever you say bruh.
But fine, we won’t refer to any other loanwords. Instead, I’ll ask you to generalize whatever your position is: that is, can you provide a consistent definition of “English word” that will include what you consider to be English words and exclude “entrepreneur” and “schadenfreude” and any other words that you don’t think are English?
Apparently all Japanese is English if an English person is speaking it.
The linguistic explanation for what you’re getting hung up on here is pretty straightforward (though whether you accept it or not remains to be seen), but I’ll save it for later in the conversation to keep our discussion on topic in the meantime.

General Memes & Private Chuckle@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Clever or pretentious?English
91·2 months agoSo answer my original question then. You know, the one that you dodged while calling me pretentious. Are the words I listed here English, or are they not?

8·2 months agoA few notable examples that come to mind are Armenian (>90% borrowings from being ruled by speakers of multiple Iranian languages for over 1,000 years, to the point that it was even classified as Iranian until it was finally proven to be its own branch of Indo-European) and Romani, which has borrowings from tons of different languages and families. Lots of East Asian languages have tons of borrowings from Chinese, but they don’t often quite reach the percentages of English (>75% borrowings).
Now I want to see a really good Gizmoduck cosplay.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?English
14·5 months agoAnything Xenoblade, but especially 1 and X.
I got bored of Undertale quickly, but the OST is an all-time great.
Shovel Knight is really good.
Anything by David Wise, especially Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2.
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest has the best music in the entire series, don’t @ me.
The Grandia theme.
The Nier games have gorgeous music.
Goku’s hair doesn’t all go straight up like that except when he’s Super Saiyan, and when he is Super Saiyan, his hair is wider/longer than that. Also, you can see Gohan’s characteristic hair curl at the front of his head.
Basically, hair looks like Goku’s SSJ hair but black and significantly shorter, and a curl at the front of the head. This is 100% Gohan.
That’s Gohan, not Goku. Still no chance of Tien doing that to him, of course.
That’s Gohan. Tien still wouldn’t stand a chance though.

Games@lemmy.world•8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffsEnglish
13·9 months agoGamesir seems to be vying for that crown of late - their price to feature ratio is impressive.
Edit: Yes, they’ll face the same tariff pressures - I’m just noting that 8BitDo isn’t the clear market leader the way they were 3-5 years ago.
I love these updates so much! Thanks for all of the time and effort!

Technology@lemmy.world•The RTX 5070 reviews are in, and let’s just say people aren’t happyEnglish

Technology@lemmy.world•The RTX 5070 reviews are in, and let’s just say people aren’t happyEnglish
14·10 months agoI agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.
So glad to see some actual sanity in these comments in response to the ridiculous OP.




As much of a win as this is, I wish they’d show half as much support for the rest of the rights we’re guaranteed by the Constitution.
