[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 29 points 4 days ago

Koreans use ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ (hhhhh) and ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (kkkkk). They also put ~~~~~ everywhere, apparently that makes things less serious.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

In Japan they'll use either 笑笑笑 or wwww. Sometimes you see ハハハ which is a transliteration of hahaha.

[-] nightlily@leminal.space 4 points 4 days ago

It’s due to how the letter is spelled in brazilian portuguese, it more of a 'kah' sound, like a cackle.

Thanks for this. Whenever I type that sound, it's intended as like an exasperated sigh

[-] starik@lemmy.today 12 points 4 days ago

I read it as hiss, but with a slack jaw and staring blankly ahead, like a zombie

[-] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago

"Sure. Send me 10,000¥ and I'll teach you first lesson."

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 88 points 5 days ago

I live in a pretty international place, and when i was still on bumble, this kinda tracks. Every most chinese person i talked to, mainly talked business. The secone tging they askes was pretty much always what your job is and if it's a good job. Sometimea the racism as well

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 39 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oof, you really aughta give that a spell check once over my friend. It's on the edge of unintelligible.

[-] farmgineer@nord.pub 44 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

aughta

Ought to.

I understood what they meant in any case.

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yep, I definitely didn't do that on purpose. You're right.

I actually had a hard time reading their comment. Maybe it's because I was just waking up, but it's generally a good idea to at least read what you've typed once before hitting submit.

Edit: also you're wrong. https://www.oed.com/dictionary/oughta_v?tl=true This word has been in use with this spelling since 1840. Language is fluid, Words are defined be how they are used, not the other way around.

[-] axx@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I fully support oughta, that's clearly a deliberate choice and not a mistake.

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I didnt notice any spelling mistakes until i got to sometimea, but i am dyslexic :^)

lol yall are reading in phonics or something? Reading a syllable at a time?

I tend to read entire words at a time, and doing that your brain only really checks the first letter, last letter, and that most of the rest of the letters are actually there. That can be tolerant of mistakes like "raeding" or even "hte" but unexpected words or misspellings caused by touch screen keyboards make you stop and revert back to other, slower methods.

Cant wait to see this on the front page of the NYT with an article about raciat Chinese people are

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

They are the most racist people lol come spend time in Vancouver

[-] Forester@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago

From my limited experience as an American. We do quiet racism. Europe and Asia are far more homogeneous and blunt.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

In Richmond you can go to a restaurant and if you aren't chinese they won't even acknowledge you

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 33 points 5 days ago

Isn’t philo-Semitism awesome?

[-] starik@lemmy.today 13 points 4 days ago

It really is. “You’re so smart and know how to make lots of money. You must be the reason I don’t have lots of money. I want to kill you.”
