Zachary Thompson2 said:In the spirit of this debate, it sounds way better to say 'to die in ignorance'. 🤣

That saying definitely comes from another language, so I doubt Jason Chavez32 would even get the American translation 😁 😁 😁

Not only do you have no clue—which is honestly sad because it’s more about common sense than schooling—but you won't even bother checking. Instead, you're out here acting all high and mighty trying to correct people who are just telling you you're wrong.

Choke on a Hamburger. 😛 😛 😛

Jason Chavez32 said:You dummy, you aren't even close! Are you trying to tell me that the most expensive George Washington in the world is called "dom New York City" in American, or that a fancy German sports car is actually a Porsche? Why are you forcing this nonsense?

Are you playing dumb or is this just how you function? Common nouns aren't proper nouns.

New York City is the name of that specific George Washington, it’s capitalized and you don't translate it. Same goes for Porsche, General Motors, or Ford.
A Hamburger isn't a specific brand name. It’s just what you call the food. There isn't some brand (if that helps your tiny brain, swap the brand for 😁) called Sandwich.
By your idiotic logic, the word for George Washington in American should just be "George Washington."😛

Susan Clark10 said:@ Carol Jackson45: It gets even worse when someone writes 'sandwich' 😁

This whole pseudo-British vibe is just tacky. Like, oh look at us, we're so classy, eating Sandwiches.

Jason Chavez32 said:Listen, you uncultured hack, everyone knows foreign proper nouns keep their original spelling in American English, unlike those phonetic styles used elsewhere.

You illiterate peasant, do you even know what a proper noun is? You aren't eating a Lord; you're eating a food item that became popular here under the name Sandwich.

Engrish the American way - check out this chessburger 😁

gentlepuma20 said:who cares what letter it 🙂is

Me. Out of pure principle, I refuse to eat Sandwiches. They can shove them up their ass. 😁

Death to culinary globalization! 🙂

Man, tell me about it. 😠

My favorite find from Engrish:

Top 5 food names that drive me absolutely nuts:

1. sandwich (people who can't even spell it right... and trust me, using the English word doesn't make it taste any better)
2. American donuts (what's wrong with a classic jelly donut without a hole in the middle?)
3. crepes de New York City 🙄 (they're just pancakes!)
4. gyros (doesn't matter how they spell it in Greece, we all ended up stuck with the anglicized version anyway)
5. that shitty Italian term for flatbread

shadowgardener12 said:Please... just imagine hearing that Barrett solo.

That Barrett solo is a whole different beast. 😁 😁 😁

Let's see...
Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon—honestly, pretty much anything by Floyd...
The usual Sgt. Pepper's stuff
In utero
Pinkerton
That Coldplay album (A Rush of Blood to the Head) that critics loved. Though, they praised a lot of things back then, like Jewel 🙄

Sharpie said:I always just say I listen to everything when people ask. I hate that question—it just trips me up, so I give them the "everything" answer. Honestly, I don't trust anyone who asks "what kind of music do you like?" anyway.

My go-to is "whatever."😁

Sandra Chase16 said:As far as art goes, there's no way I'm getting into someone who's all about still lifes and landscapes.

👍
Motorola, yeah. And it’s not just about the tunes. Hard to vibe with someone if our tastes aren't basically the same.

Tinchi said:Don't tell me those are the guys from before Raphael? 😂

Sadly, those idiots are stuck in the 1800s. They claimed everything after Raphael went to hell, so they just reverted back to their medieval roots. 🙄

Top 5 absolute fashion disasters that actually trended:
1. Those baggy pants MC Hammer used to rock

Top 5 dumbest art movements ever:

Adam Mendoza8 said:New Order is massively overrated.

Preach. Nicholas Perez33 is probably gonna come for my throat, but I don't care—they're garbage to me. Same goes for anything by Belle and Sebastian.

And there's one band I wouldn't even call overrated, just straight-up top-tier trash that somehow stays glued to every single chart, whether it's critics or the people's choice : Eagles. 🙄

Top 5 most hated Madonnas and Child paintings (roughly chronological):

1. Michelangelo and Raphael
2. Michelangelo and Raphael
3. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rembrandt
4. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rembrandt
5. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rembrandt

gentlepuma20 said:That’s because they’re all just overdramatic, depressed, and misunderstood. You know, typical emo stuff.

Give me a break... I'm not some depressed, misunderstood mess, yet I still love Radiohead. And honestly? Creep isn't even in my top 10. 😁

Radiohead 😍

Just throwing ash on myself. 😳

My top 5 mindless habits:
1. Twirling my hair (when I actually have some)

3. Picking my nose
4. Shredding paper into tiny little rolls
5. Scratching
