  • French people and French-Canadians both use anglicisms, just in different ways.

    For example, if we take the sentence “I parked my car in the parking lot for the weekend”, someone from France might say:

    J’ai stationné ma voiture dans le parking pendant le weekend

    whereas someone from Canada could say

    J’ai parké mon char dans le stationnement pour la fin de semaine

    Both have influence from English, but in different places. English loanwords in Canada tend to originate from the beginning of the 20th century (a reason why many car-related terms in Canadian French are anglicisms, such as “bumper”) and in France loanwords tend to be a more recent phenomenon.











  • The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.

    I’m in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it’s nice having gaming sessions where I don’t get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I’ll definitely come crawling back one day.



  • It’s not Nazi unless it’s from the Rhine basin area, otherwise it’s just sparkling genocide.

    This is what you’re arguing about. The intent in calling them Nazis isn’t to insinuate they’re members of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and no one would assume that’s the intent.

    “Nazi” is common parlance as a shorthand for genocidal fascists because the Nazis are by far the most well-known genocidal fascists.

    The meaningless semantic argument you’re putting forth is either a useless distraction, or you’re simply purposefully arguing in bad faith to derail the conversation.
