So you stole it? How dare you! You wouldn’t kidnap a child!

Depends on your position on that. Special military operation to give Christmas back its rightful place in the year.

The war on Christmas…

Isn’t Al Gore vs Bush an even better example?

Your child will thank you for this!

I honestly didn’t know what I was implying but I like your interpretation

Don’t remind me of that… but you are right thought, I did fall victim to one of the classic blunders

Remindes me of when I, a fool, fell victim to one of the classic blunders

Communism is when you collect stones to build a bridge

i think you might have dropped your “/s” homie.

Damn, I really thought I didn’t need it. It kind of ruins the joke and I thought I made it clear enough

You should be careful! I mean this sounds logical, but taken to the extreme, it would mean that you judge people who are racist and actively support genocide even though they are always nice to you (assuming you are white). Do you really want that?

Reminds me of the Lingthusiasm episode where the Canadian and the Australian hosts discuss a book about the differences between British and American English. Both fell somewhere in between

You got it all wrong! Babbel is an app to learn other languages, no punishment of any sort.

Just kidding, it’s an app to make monkey, not to help people.

it’s less that English simplified them and more that it never developed case marks for them.

Well, Old English baggs to differ. English lost its case markings on articles early on and kept them on nouns a while longer while German kept them on articles and simplified nouns much more early on.

In contrast, not only German repurposed the demonstrative “der” (that, which, who) into an article in a cleaner way

… as did English with “se”/“þē” which started as a demonstrative the same way der/die/das did.

but it’s also dumping most grammatical case info into the article

Again, German didn’t dump anything into articles but rather lost it everywhere else.

There is this idea that this fostered the process of using der/die/das much more often (which made it from a demonstrative to an article) but I disagree because it was a widespread process, not only in German but in huge parts of Europe, including beside Romance languages also English were this reasoning doesn’t work (as shown above).
