How far back in time can you understand English?

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

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.

Do you have a patronym? I mean, does your full name have information that you're a child of a man with a certain name?

- yes, I use it in everyday life

- yes, but I don't use it in everyday life

- no, my culture doesn't have such a thing

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

yes

no

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

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

did your parents *"pre-screen" the media you interacted with when you were a kid/before legal adult age where you are?

yes, always AND they did parental guidance talks about it

yes, always but there was no parental guidance involved

sometimes, with parental guidance talks

sometimes, no parental guidance talks

not usually, but occasionally (WITH parental guidance)

not usually, but occasionally (WITHOUT parental guidance)

they never pre-screened but there were other rules (elaborate?)

my parents fully didn't give a shit about what media i engaged with

see results

*by "pre-screening", i typically mean any sort of behavior that exists on a spectrum of "actually watching/playing/reading the thing before you played it" to "doing any sort of research on it before letting you watch it".

feel free to share your experiences in the tags or replies or whatever!

[gingersnapsvhs]

admittedly, i am a little obsessed with like 65% of the tags on this post so far basically saying "my parents didn't pre-screen things but they [describes behavior that DEFINITELY qualifies as pre-screening]". i kinda hope maybe this post and others like it wake some people up to the fact that yes, even YOUR parents were controlling what perspectives and ideas you were and were not being allowed to access.
