I’ve noticed that my parents usually call it Timmies, but me and my friends call it Tim’s, so I wanted to know if it had a bigger trend.

An experiment in language change

Nifty little language game here.

I can read back to 1500 with basically no difficulty

at 1400 I have to read slowly and carefully, but I can understand all of it save a couple words

at 1300 I can still comprehend most of it if I read slowly, but a much larger percentage of the words are unfamiliar to me, even with context

1200 and earlier are almost totally unintelligible

#i'm good until 1600 #interestingly - 1400 was easier for me than 1500 #i think because 1500 used some letters/spelling conventions i wasn't used to seeing - that weren't present in the 1400 text #1300 was a little more difficult than 1400 but not that bad #at 1200 there was a dramatic spike in difficulty although the language doesn't look dramatically different from 1300 #i couldn't understand any of it lol #languages

If someone was specifically diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, is it wrong for that person to still call their own condition Asperger's?

Yes, it's wrong to use that term in any context

They can use it to describe their own condition, only if they were diagnosed as such

Any autistic person can use that to describe their own condition

Any autistic person can use that to describe anyone's autism

Anyone can use that term

I was diagnosed with ASD back when the term Asperger's Syndrome was still in use, written ink on paper and all. I was taught by my parents to never be ashamed of my condition, to be myself to the highest degree.

Nowadays, the broader Autism community has rejected being called the Asperger's Community, and while I would normal be fine with someone requesting that they don't be called Aspie/Asperger's effected, it truly does offend me when feel Autistic people tell me I'm not allowed to use the term I was diagnosed with. It really does hurt.

And if you're going to discuss in the comments, be mature and mindful. I'll block anyone who gets into petty bickering/snark, even if I agree with your points.

#technically my dx is Asperger's but i usually call myself autistic #as i think people generally know what autism is more than they know what Asperger's is #but i am deeply deeply skeptical of how vehement the people in the notes and comments are against the term Asperger's #it smacks of performativity given the current atmosphere. i would wonder how many of these people have -#even unknowingly - accepted or perpetuated attitudes that in the past allowed regular citizens to stay complacent while the nazis #carried out their atrocities. yes i am jewish yes this affects how i feel about this #poll #i can also see how Asperger's can be a helpful descriptor #as multiple people i've met before didn't realize autism is a spectrum and just assumed i was lying about being autistic #at which point i have to be like... it's level one autism... (and i've spent 20 years masking)....#but that is of less importance than my first point and solvable by increasing awareness of what autism is #it's viscerally annoying though lmao like why are u looking at me like that crystal. the REASON i make that little squeaky sound is BECAUSE #i am stimming. because i actually am autistic. you DOLT.

Do you have an identifiable* local accent** in your native language?

yes

no

i used to, but don’t anymore

i didn’t before, but i do now

If you are so inclined, please tell me your thoughts and feelings about having/not having a local accent in the tags/comments!! I would love to hear!! This, of course, goes for other/nuance voters as well!!

*as in someone can identify where you are from just based on your accent** (no matter how obscure of an accent you have)

**as in the way you pronounce/sign your words(creek vs crick), NOT dialect i.e. vocab and grammar differences(soda vs pop)

ALSO, EVERYONE HAS AN ACCENT DIPSHIT IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE :P

#maybe?#according to a friend the way i pronounce 'orr' is very canadian #as in - 'sorry' or 'tomorrow'#i pronounce sorry as 'sorry' where orr sounds like the word or. and he prounces sorry as sawry #idk if thats “canadian” though. my friend is also canadian but from 4 hrs away

okay question for the people

if someone who you’re not in a relationship calls you a pet name offhandedly (e.g. babe, darling, love, hon, etc. etc.), does it make you uncomfortable

yes it does

no it doesn’t

truly depends
