"of the feminine species"

Uh, do you want to explain to this guy what a species is, or do I have to?

Ladies wasn't used in the Original Post.


When playing a RPG of some sort, sometimes they give you the ability to reallocate all your talent points in a different way. Such as switching from melee focused to something magic oriented like a wizard or a witch. This is called a Respec, short for Re-specialization.


Respec sounds very similar to Respect. The Original Post is about respecting women.

I appreciate your interest in my comment, hope you have a nice day. Take care.

Thank you for your thorough explanation, I now understand the joke and will react accordingly:

"Heh, that's pretty good."

Whatever happened to "femoid"? I know I read that one somewhere.

So much cultural imperialism in here.

Once US-Americans decide how they want a word used, they will harrass and cyber-bully everyone into using it the same way / using the same word

Boys, you need to realize that english isn't "your" language. You don't get to decide how others speak it.

It's everyone's language, everyone can bully each other over it. The Brits added u to a bunch of words just to fuck with us..and then misspelled tire. Just last week heard an upper class indian with more British roots give a more Americanized indian man shit for spelling it tire rather than tyre, with zero knowledge of the history.

On the whole I think English speakers are relatively polite about misunderstood words in person, even relatively racist asshats. But when you can't read the accent, you default to your own culture and in that culture it's pronounced to rhyme with tamales.

My brother in christ, the british spelling is the original.

The reason you spell it differently was a conscious decision of your revolutionaries to differentiate themselves from the brits

You used the same spelling before your independence.

And how about "noone can bully" instead of "everyone can bully"?

Just throwing tht in the room here.

I won't bully you for writing "recognise" just to assert your independence, you let us be us and everyone is happy, is tht a Deal?

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

No, it's not, go learn history. Its a mix and match on both sides usually because spelling wasn't standard anyway. Webster picked ones he liked, mostly to feel superior to Brits, Brits picked the opposite to feel superior to americans. We have the legacy accent, uk has the posh accent to sound different. We did simplify some words, Brits complexified others to be more posh.

I've never noticed that a ferengi head kinda looks like he's wearing a fedora already.

Is this why they always ask how to define "woman"?

If someone asks you to a define a women, chances are they never met one in real life.
