  • I can't see any of your posts from my main account - does lemmus defed with lemmy.zip?

  • I always try to leave a comment in support when this happens.

  • Great, can't wait for this legendarily good adaptation of an amazing book to go to shit now that it's gone beyond the source material. But we gotta squeeeze as much money out of the property as we can, right?

  • 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.

    How to get Inspiron 5577 to use dgpu with 4k external display?

  • Like most worker cooperatives, it probably wouldn't last a year.

  • Bleeding hearts always clot surprisingly fast when it comes to those they don't like.

  • According to my mathematician wife, "it's got the same problem most paradoxes do in that it's self-referential".

  • Apparently all Japanese is English if an English person is speaking it.

    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.

  • So 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?

  • A 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).
