@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp Being stupid doesn’t mean lying. We can be overly pedantic and say referring to something as only 1 thing isn’t reductive since in the overall aspect it’s actually adding. Reality is more complex than 1 sentence but it’s often why people reduce they don’t want to think
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp You’re being purposely obtuse, the average person calling it a nazi language doesn’t acknowledge other parts of the language besides nazis so therefore they are reducing it to just that. It might add dimensions in general but in their mind it reduces them.
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp No labeling AAVE or Ebonics as internet slang is cultural appropriation. Like calling German a nazi language. It is a language used by nazis but clearly very ignorant and stupid to say.
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp Point is that the bare minimum context black Americans are asking you to know is that the “internet slang” most people use on twitter is in fact AAVE. That’s it, not an impossible task don’t have to learn the context of every word nor the prehistoric etymology
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp Because you’re European why would it bother you. It’s like a tall guy saying he isn’t bothered by short comments. I wonder why
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp Because you’re lacking context lol that’s the whole point. Someone saying it’s brick outside while living in Wyoming is insane but you wouldn’t know because you think you shouldn’t learn the context of words. 🤷🏽
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp To that say you shouldn’t really know the context of words you use especially slang is insane it’s literally the bare minimum especially since context is so much more than etymology like for example formality or informality!!
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp Because informal and formal change based upon the origin of the word and for a better description I’ll use appropriateness. Saying it’s mad brick outside in nyc isn’t appropriate but on the other side of the US it is. So context is important to know for every word like what
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp So just to clarify, Europeans know there’s a difference between certain words as the original tweet is saying and one way they could tell is by formality levels
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp My point still stands lol you still consider aura to be an informal word in all cases even though it’s not, replace it with any other word people consider to be “internet slang” and the same thing will happen because context of the origin of the word is lacking.
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp You only know aura as a meme which is why you wouldn’t but if you did know what context it is correctly used in then you could formally. Levels exist but context is most important which is what most people who learn English on twitter lack and should learn instead of ignoring it.
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp Sorry, my issue lies in the fact that in formal context English second language people do not use the same vocabulary as they do on twitter signifying they know there is a difference subconsciously, you wouldn’t use aura in a job interview if they asked you for fluency in English
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp Because you’re unwilling to learn even when people are screaming in your face which I suspect applies to most English second language twitter users whatever
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp No!!! I guarantee you the way Europeans and LATAM speak English on twitter they would not speak the same in real life in a because they know there’s a difference subconsciously. Babying people as if they also don’t speak a language that’s shares similar concepts
@LyxPar@euizidoro@astro_v4mp No but you would look up the word and see multiple variations and something in your brain would say that these words, although meaning the same, have different contexts and situations to use in such as informal/formal words. Every language has similar situations.
