The best machine translation fail I’ve seen in quite a while. (source)
Linguistics takes on the “What’s something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?” quote-tweet meme.
Link to the original tweet
Me: Oh you know, it’s in the dative case, since the indirect object is there.
Friend: Dative? What’s a case?
Or better yet, understanding the cases in German perfectly since Latin has like 7 of them.
Me: Frau X, was sind die Locative, Ablative und Vocative cases auf Deutsch?
Teacher: Was?

My Dad's response to his white co-workers making fun of his accent
White Co-Worker: That's not how you say it.
My Dad: But you knew what I meant so why do you have to make a big deal out of it.
White Co-Worker: Aww come on man, it's funny, lighten up will yah Nestor?
My Dad: You know I speak 5 languages, right? How many can you speak?
White Co-Worker: Just English
My Dad: Tell me something. What does a cow say?
White Co-Worker: Moo?
My Dad: That's right, the cows in my country say that too. You know why? They can only speak one language *walks away*
White Co-Worker: *sheds white tears*
