I love this, because there’s obviously something very clever going on to analyse patterns of language, but it’s also profoundly ignorant.
[ID: A screenshot of a Grammarly correction, labelled “clarity: conciseness”. The original text reads “Every book, which wasn’t many…” This is crossed out with the suggestion “Everyn’t many book” and the note “Consider shortening this phrase.” /end id]
Story time: this reminds me of some kids in an English class I’m in. They were doing written work and the teacher and I were going around checking their work. They had to do like, “do/do not”, and one example was “prepare”. Something like “My father does not/doesn’t prepare dinner”. I look at this one kid’s paper and this galaxy-brained child had written “My father preparen’t dinner” and it took everything in me to not lose it laughing right there like. This child saw a pattern and ran with it and I respect that.
Intermittentlysmitten hid this in the tags and shouldn’t have.
Reminds me of that post on how Irish(?) doesn’t have a way to use “yes” or “no” to answer a verb question, or something like that, so that if somebody asks if you murdered somebody you can’t say “yes” or “no,” you have to say “I did murder” or “I didn’t murder,” which led my brain to produce the negative verb “murdidn’t.”
I studied English Language at A level and while every lesson up to that point had been about how to use the rules and abide to them effectively at this point it was just a group of rabid 6th formers chanting WHY? WHY CAN’T WE USE A DOUBLE NEGATIVE? and the teachers just deadass were like “you can, you’ve just been told you can’t” and it was the best possible answer to give because the point of language is communication: you understand what the other person said? you won the game. you succeeded at languaging. that it that’s the point
we all understood “My father preparen’t dinner” and “English allown’t us to do it” here? so like, go forth and be powerous I say
I love how the premise of language evolving into this hasn’t occurred. Modmad made the prime example of “you understand what the other person said? you won the game. you succeeded at languaging.” This is THE point. When Shakespeare helped form a new step towards modern English he did so with the premise of ‘I shall make this easier to understand’. If we all consistently upheld language rules just because it was taught to us, nothing would evolve. We would be nothing but grunts and hand gestures, thank you very much.
