i let my friend explained to me about the subtlety of two different words that basically mean the same thing and now there's randos assuming i dont know bitch can be a verb. fuck off.

#why do ppl who speaks english as a first language always do that? like im not mad to bug (my friend) i was legit asking a question to them.#im mad at the random comment lol #im talking about the weird tendency first language english speakers to assume i dont know anything about the intricacies of their language #like dumbing down and simplifying the way they speak to me vs the way they speak to their fellow whites #also see this a lot in japanese wrestlers doing interviews #just because they suck at speaking or have a thick accent doesnt mean theyre bad at the listening and reading aspect of the english languag #textposts
