That fascinating. I wonder if it’s a cultural thing or a grammar thing? Most Asian countries have a stereotype of being polite so I’d take a guess at the grammar of Asian languages making it harder to put a mood changing word in a question maybe,

That orange man has never said Please in his entire lifetime

I just looked up please and thank you in ASL and now I know. Thank you.

Thanks Romanian sounds quite challenging

I actually really like most Parisians the only people in France I found to be rude were those who worked in the tourist areas like the Riviera. But honestly I can’t blame them tourists can be so annoying

Ah yes the Texas thank you 😝

But what about cobol and C++? /s

Thanks I knew spasiba but Pozhalusta I just learned.

You know don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just trying fucking it up is still heaps better then not even trying.

I’ve found that most people really appreciate even just the attempt at their own language. The fact that you’re trying goes a long way with most people.

Excepting Americans and sometimes the French. /s

I’m rusty in a bunch. My favourites are the Scandinavian languages just because how the people lit up whenever you tried. It was like “Bless your heart, you poor English speaker.” Like they were watching a puppy.

Ah yes the classic Aussie Thank you - Ta, ya cunt!

Oh I like the Romanian please. That sound fun to say.

But how do you do it in Rust?

Welsh is amazing I never knew them but I love how “Welshman” they sound.

Which is your favourite?

Have you checked out the whole “Noir” genre? Burnt out old schlubby heros who look like bad guys is a whole thing there. Humphrey Bogart in the Maltese Falcon, Terriers for a more modern take.

Yeah there are like 40 of them but you can split them up in to series. If you liked The Truth you’ll probably like the Watch series starting with Guards! Guards! and following Sam Vines and the other Watchmen.

I’m going through the Discworld series for the first time right now. I’m going in chronological order but when I finish I’ll probably go through them again eventually but I think I’ll do series instead in bunches. I’m already looking forward to rereading the Watch series back to back.
