Reminds me when I was a person from Switzerland living in the UK, and this girl started randomly talking to me in Swedish. And was super suprised when I seemed confused. Apparently, her friend had told her I was Swedish. 😭
Huh, I'm Swedish and the place I've spent most time abroad is on Krk, mainly in Baška.
It's been almost 20 years since the last visit though, I miss it.
The answer is literally right there, posted hours before you commented and was definitely right there on your screen when you commented…
I swear, people online behave like they’re blind and unable to comprehend the most basic shit.
You are absolutely right, people on the internet have a tendency to not do the most basic things like hover over the comment to see the exact timestamps of what they're criticizing. Sometimes they seem incapable of putting themselves in other people's shoes for one second to realize that not everyone reads entire threads or looks things up because they have shit to do when they're browsing during a short break. But what I find most baffling is when they forget common decency and etiquette, and instead deliberately opt to be a gigantic dickhead regardless of how confidently wrong or ignorant they are.
At a basic level... yes? I think all those words are important enough in English to be short words. They're important in a way that "theatrical" and "equally" are not as important.
And none of those words are as important in English as "a" or "I".
There are only exemptions to the supposed rule that was just now made up…
But heeeey, you can still like I dunno, prove your little statement! After all as the maker of the positive statement the burden of proof only lies on you and your fellow spouters of nonsense!
Cuck is an abbreviation of cuckold. Once you get into muli-syllanbe words it doesn't hold true. But over time, words that are used constantly get shortened and abbreviated.
Heeeey after the 1… 2… 3… 4… 5…, the 5.-th example you found an issue with something! I am happy for you! Thought still nonsense but who was expecting more from you? Abbreviation mean shortening something, you are saying that a noun was shortened into a verb…? Brilliant the day was saved, everything else can be ignored because post-hastily changed on the rule you guys made up!
One could argue that "god" and "man" (as in humanity) are pretty important concepts, and dogs and cats were probably more important to our ancestors than they are now.
But then there are words like gel, mop, wig, tug, and dam that kinda make that fall apart again.
Swiss is Switzerland.
I am not a smart man
But I know what love is.
You can edit titles.
true, but sometimes I don't want to hide my mistakes because that makes me feel like a coward

Austrian Kangaroos are also fun.
oh no 😂 well, glad there's at least 1 other person as dumb as me
we have over 250 000 of them, what do you expect
over 250'000 öar, gäss sör
öyup
We don't really like to talk to people, so we got another one: Å. That is water that is smaller than a river, bigger than a brook.
So you can technically have an Ö in an Å?
I åa ä e ö, å i öa ä e å!
(In the stream there is an island, and on the island there is a stream.)
Old MacDonald had a farm...
I love it xD
Usually island means a larger land mass, not just a bit of dirt sticking out of a creek, so probably not. An å on an ö though probably.
That's a stream in English.
River>Stream>Brook~Creek>Rivulet. I don't think anyone would yell at you for using stream, brook and creek interchangeably though.

Americans don't say "island", they say "eyeland"
"Be that land?"
"Aye! Land!"
👍🏽
Island means land of ice too.
also the spelling is made up, it should be "iland" but some fucking scribes thought it'd be cooler if it matched french/latin because oooo fancy
The shorter a word is the more importance it has for a given language.
That's why the dutch word for pudding is only 3 letters.
And, of course, the importance of pud to English speakers.
Shut up.
And have some more pud.
Quit squirming!
It's still pudding. I can't even think of another word.
Vla
We need to convince the Croatians to accept Swedish as their second official language. Then we could have an Ö named Krk.
Or, in the swedish tradition of just appending ö to the end of words: Krkö
Huh, I'm Swedish and the place I've spent most time abroad is on Krk, mainly in Baška.
It's been almost 20 years since the last visit though, I miss it.
Cool coincidence!
it is the one that most looks like an island, though.
Don't ask those svensk fuckers what they call Iceland though.
Is it not "Island"?

I'm afraid to ask but I can't live without knowing it. D:

So for them, an island is as important as "I" for English speakers.
…you think an importance of a word stems from its length?
Cat-god… hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Actually, yeah, kinda?
Like, there are only so many one-syllable words. Even fewer words that are just a single letter.
Generally you don't want to waste them on complicated, niche concepts that only come up rarely.
Shannon be like
That is not how the development of language works in any way though.
Theatrical nonsense mate!
Again cat, dog, god, man… all equally important things, right?
At a basic level... yes? I think all those words are important enough in English to be short words. They're important in a way that "theatrical" and "equally" are not as important.
And none of those words are as important in English as "a" or "I".
So cucks are more important than ministers, noted… Can I implore you to say your theory out loud?
Oh wow, there are exceptions to a very broad and general rule! You must be very smart!
There are only exemptions to the supposed rule that was just now made up…

Piss=love, cock…
The 4th most important ones are kinky

I'm not sure if you realize, but my comment was agreeing with yours.
It is my right, right, to write nonsense as is refusing to fully read your comment
In Norway it's "øy".
øy u wøt m8
Thats way to long
In Denmark it's just Ø. Back to sanity
