When USAmericans equate 'Native English Speaker' to '(US)American'

I'm sorry but it irks me so much

I think the usage of the word may have changed over time, here's what each of those items is to me:

A housecoat is something between a nightgown and a frumpy dress. It's usually worn by women (I associate these with older women) when they're at home. It's all one piece, closed in front, that you pull it over your head like a t-shirt. It often has a floral pattern on it, and may have some kind of decorative collar. Housecoats usually come to just below the knee.

A dressing gown is something that is worn by any gender, although to me it's mostly associated with men. It's not sewn closed the way a housecoat is; you put it on like a jacket, pull the front bits across your body, and then tie them with the belt that comes with it, like the item in the photo reblog above. Dressing gowns are usually made of satin or other silky materials. Dressing gowns go to mid-calf.

A bathrobe (which is the item in the photo reblog) is structured like a dressing gown, but it is made of terrycloth or other toweling material. It can either go to just below the knee or be a bit longer. I don't have a gendered association for this one.

(Please note that I'm not saying that only people of a certain gender can wear these items. Wear whatever tf you want. These are just associations from the way I was enculturated in a society that unfortunately genders tf out of pretty much everything.)

RB to see how others think-- also, what territory you're from and version of English you speak! (this is to settle a thing I am pondering)

I am an artist surrounded by scientists and I speak their language perfectly well, but they don’t speak mine.

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

I used to only be able to make a more guttural sound with the back of my tongue, and I used that to fake it, but then I took voice lessons and sung a piece in Italian, so I had to learn a different way to do it. It wasn't super hard, actually! The word was "Morir" which means death (which was a being used as a euphemism for orgasm in this particular piece), and instead of saying "Mo-Rrrrear" I was told to say "Mo-ddrir", vibrating a hard D consonant with the tip of my tongue. Recommend trying it out if you think you can't roll your Rs!

(*1995 and largely icon, personally.

the choice is meant to be what you say now.

couldn't decide on where to comfortably separate the age demographics in the end, so made the focus more on the split of which generations were born into mainstream internet use.

no "other" option, because that would skew the poll out of people choosing terms in other languages/swapping between all of above/indecision

did originally have a wider variety of options such as badge, userpic, e.g. but simplified it down to terms used the most currently by users on this website).

I think that Daniel should get a little cat that he names something cute. like typo. and it should be the silliest dumbest creature in the world, and Armand should be so jealous of that cat that it still somehow makes him look stupid in comparison.

he's just like. you, feline companion to my beloved. most loathsome of creatures. i see through your foul ruse. my daniel may be taken in by your charms, but i will not be played for the fool. you seek to replace me in his esteems, and you may yet distract him for a time. but he will see the truth of you soon enough. your cruelty. batting him in the face with your dreadful claws while he is trying to rest. begging for your meals at the wicked hours of the morning and night! you will visit no more of these horrors upon him. know this, 'typo.' if you did not bring my daniel such joy i would see you removed from this home and cast out into street like a beggar. i suggest you watch your back.

Everyone asking "Why wasn't Cyndaquil in the ZA starters lineup?" when frankly the better question is why Gamefreak went with 2 Johto starters

hear me out, danny speaking russian (dc x dp hc)

so i was just watching a video about space, right? allegedly, turns out if you (an american) wanna board the international space station you must speak russian fluently since the only way to get there is by a russian shuttle and pilot (nasa apparently ended their own shuttle program way back when??) (don’t quote me on this)

so picture danny learning russian at a relatively young age for the sole hope of going to space and such, and it coming out every once in a while when he’s mumbling or something like that (it’s basically second nature to him)

so danny ends up at gotham for whatever reason (demon twins, reveal gone wrong, idc, they’re all cool) and he wants to start anew, so he pretends to only speak russian?? ig?? it’d make for some funny/interesting BatFam interactions i suppose

i don’t know where i was going with this but i want to read prompts of danny speaking russian

Jason: Thou looks and smells of an unwashed mutt of female persuasion and so does thy lover.

Steph: You’re a bitch and so’s your man.

Tim: …… Okay, but why’s he speaking like that?

broke: chekov's accent in star trek: tos is so horribly exaggerated it's not even funny, besides, it doesn't make sense that he would keep such a strong and unchanging accent after months spent on enterprise

woke: chekov is absolutely capable of speaking perfect english. however, he only does that when somebody manages to pronounce his name correctly

Bilingual Ice, my beloved. Translating Polish idioms word for word, randomly switching languages when he's tired around people he feels comfortable with, calling things Polish terms because they fit better, and getting frustrated when no one understands and there's not a good enough English equivalent.

Slider has known him long enough that he understands what he's trying to say and just nods along, he basically has A1 level Polish at this point, and he's helping Mav learn all the Ice-isms.

Ice who swears in Polish when the situation really calls for it. One time, a lieutenant walked to his office and overheard him muttering God knows what - didn't understand a word, only that it sounded so fucking angry that he figured his request can wait.

Ice who, as is the age old curse, forgets words sometimes, and Mav would never dare make fun of him for it, unless he's really desperate for something to deflect with.

Like when Ice is yet again lecturing him on how he should drive his own damn bike, except this time it's kind of different, because Ice sounds genuinely worried, more than before, and it's a hell of lot harder to just dismiss him.

But then Ice shuts up in the middle of a sentence. He's taken a quick breath to continue angrily, says, "You need-!" and then nothing. He opens his mouth on a word that isn't coming and Mav really needs a way out of here, so he dares to smile.

"I need to what?"

"Odpierdol się," Ice mutters, which is a phrase Mav is more than familiar with. Fuck off.

A saving grace, for both of them, probably, comes in the form of Slider casually strolling through the door. He lifts an eyebrow at the two of them standing in the middle of the room, and Ice huffs as he gives up on trying to remember the word he wants on his own.

"Slider," he says, still somehow keeping up the exasperated tone he was using on Mav. "Kask."

Slider grins wide. "He's yelling at you to wear a helmet again, huh?"

Ice throws his hands up. "He might not be so lucky the next time he crashes!"

"You crashed?"

Oh no, this is not working out the way Mav wanted it to, at all. "I didn't!" he tries to defend himself. "I just got scraped!"

"You fell off the bike!" Ice reminds him rudely. "You need to wear- the goddamn thing!"

Mav grabs onto the slightest hesitation in his voice like a drowning man scrambling for the last inch of the rope. "You mean the helmet?"

"Yes! The fucking helmet!"

Mav looks to Slider for help, truly a last ditch attempt, but he just shakes his head. "You really should, you know."
