it's always a good day to complain about English speakers

Important addition: Maria Skłodowska-Curie was born during partitions, which means Poland didn’t exist, which means her insistence that she was Polish was a significant act of defiance against the occupation, which means that you should respect that instead of arguing that ‘well she had French citizenship’. She couldn’t have Polish citizenship despite being Polish, that’s kinda the point she was making by keeping her maiden name and naming a chemical element she discovered ‘Polonium’ .

HOW TO PRONOUNCE: Skłodowska

L with a dash through it (ł) makes a “W” sound. and W makes a “V” sound.

Thank you for the pronounciation guide instead of the condescending guilt trip

[thereisnodanni-onlyzuul]

Yeah, I literally never learned she had a hyphenated name, so........

 i recommend learning other alphabets if for no other reason than it’s very fun to see people replace latin alphabet letters with complete nonsense for Aesthetic

Apparently it’s actually a really common combo? Like. We can’t do the thing because we know the thing will be imperfect, and at least if we do it in a rush at the last second, we have an excuse for the imperfection.

people understand that Spanish speakers speak different dialects of the Spanish language but don’t understand that black people speak a dialect of the English language

[yellowjuice-deactivated20190512]

saw a variation of this conversation on twitter earlier

[brainstatic]

I just want to state for the record that this is completely uncontroversial among linguists. It’s the first day of sociolinguistics class.

[laineylewxlove]

I majored in Communication Disorders to become an Speech Language Pathologist and am currently and Assisstant. When we were in class we were taught about this as well as other dialect. Under no circumstances do you treat a client for what is considered a dialect. So as a speech therapist when I hear AAVE I move on. It is a real language with real rules.

Thats why it was outrage in the speech community post Katrina when teachers began to recommend students for speech, when it was simply the New Orleans dialect.

“It is a real language with real rules.”

[mysticalcoffeequeen]

Reblogging for ALL OF THIS

[candiikismet]

It’s so true.

[official-lucifers-child]

this seems so obvious now that i think about it and yet i’ve never even been taught this or told this until now??? like i know all about the differences between spanish in mexico, the caribbean, and then spain, but this? kinda disappointed that it’s only been pointed out (for me at least) now.

I love this so much, I’m gonna start saying “nuts” we need to bring it back

amazing double dance by hao ruoqi ( in blue)and wang xuerou(in red)

[words-and-wonders]

OH MY GOD OH MY GOOOOD A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS:

the facial expressions

the effortless sensuality

I AM SO GAY

the inexplicable moment in which the dynamic between the two shifted like they changed bodies

did china allow this to be shown? china?

DID I MENTION THE GAY

what is the lore of this? I figured that it was a malevolent spirit shifting from one body to another

the part with the leg. you know which one I mean

seriously are they actresses cause this level of portrayal is more astounding than any Hollywood actress has ever amounted to

the end with the smile and the head grab and the beating heart

O H M Y G O D

[chinajousama]

For those wondering, the dance is based on a soul-switching scene from the movie Painted Skin II: The Resurrection and the music is Su Yunying’s Moment.
