I’m sorry to be Like This 24/7 but this is your daily reminder that here are valid ways to refer to Catalan:

català (Catalan name)

Catalan (English name)

catalán (Spanish name only)

....and here are not valid ways to refer to Catalan:

catalá

catalán (when speaking English)

Please, I’m begging you, if you want to use the accent MAKE IT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. If you’re writing in English and can’t retain that, I promise it’s okay to use the English-language term (and if you’re writing in Catalan please learn ASAP that á does not exist, there’s only à). Thank you for your time :)

#one day i will get people to stop calling it catalán or catalá #one day #it might take 100 years but i'll do it if it kills me #i'm just so tired of seeing it written wrong #so you know. if i write enough of these eventually word will get out #or at least that's the hope #anyways this has been a psa i'm done now #parlem de tonteries #de les quals no hauriem de parlar pero vaja #catalan:general #(also like addendum but if you've said these before you don't have to feel guilty. this is just a psa)#(like everyone has to learn something for a first time sometime and i promise it's 100% okay)#(but if you do them AFTER seeing this post. then legally i'm required to challenge you to a duel)
