Level 7: I don't know shit fuck about Linguistics as a science but I use words all the time and keep mixing these two words up because they're shaped too similar so I'm going to start using new terms that sound both different enough and right and by accident, the arbitrarily chosen new terms ARE true cognates .
Level 1: I didn't assume that these two words with similar spellings and related meanings share a common origin because I don't think about things like that.
Level 2: I'm completely certain these two words with similar spellings and related meanings share a common origin because it's fucking obvious just from looking at them, you absolute simpleton.
Level 3: I didn't assume that these two words with similar spellings and related meanings share a common origin because I know what a false cognate is.
#the great thing about language is that its all made up and for a certain margin of error#you can just keep making it up#and I'll breakshift my playlist from individual songs to albums#so ill have a natural turnover at the turnover.#one of those is not actually a word and one of those is not actually how those words are used except they are#and thats a thin margin#if you are willing to work on a large margin of error you can spac a sentence by nyming any particularly unwieldy phrase onto a new quonk#and within three sentences most of your audience will allonym with you and half of them will take the quonk home woth them!#English speakers in particular love to spac terms because personmood flows so much easier#but you shouldn't spac a manual thats a great way to lose a finger or get electrocuted
