We can’t even detect if something is poisonous with the taste buds we do have, kids drink antifreeze still

I mean, you can say it’s luck but what evolutionary purpose would anal taste buds serve

Reply to comment by philliamswinequeen in Humen is a more logical plural to human than humans. It’s men and women, not mans and womans. by frenglish_man
In english there only a few deterministic words: "the, thoses, these..."
In french there is a lot more.
Ex:
I eat the banana / I eat bananas
Je mange la banane / Je mange des bananes
We don't hear the s at the end but the word "des" specify it's plural verbally.
It can also be "je mange les bananes"
Using "des" is to talk about some random bananas. Using "les" is to talk about specific bananas in the context of the conversation

American English is "Zee", British English is "Zed".

Someone tell me how that makes sense coz verbally they usually don’t add an ‘s’ sound. idk french has such obscure pronunciation rules T_T… is French mostly based on writing??

Ah, yes, "W". The three sylable letter that means two "U"s, looks like two "V"s, and prominetly features the "Y" sound. At least the Alphabet's greatest monstrosity has the self-awareness to renounce its own sound, which even feels funny in your mouth.

Reply to Humans are so violent, considering they are hairless, teethless, clawless, venomless monkeys. by -TheDerpinator-
I’ve always found it interesting too that, whatever situation you find yourself in, there is almost ALWAYS a way to think yourself out of it, but seldomly can we use our physical prowess to get out of it.
