one of my friends told me today “i always understand you but sometimes when i talk to you i have to google words that you say.” hey buddy i get it, me too!
#english isn't his first language it's actually his fifth (but currently his strongest) (though he's trying to regain his ancestral ones)#and he noticeably has an accent when he speaks but like. he's spoken it since he was in third grade at least#he's also extremely well-read. he reads as much or more than i do but he reads mostly philosophy and political literature as opposed to#poetry and drama which i'm far more acquainted w.#but anyway that is to say he has a GOOD vocabulary & when ppl tell him that it's not like. a condescending microaggression#and i was just like. idk man. big brain moment.#tales from diana#i do use words weirdly to be fair. he's a prose man. he's well-read but not well-versed#hahahaha you get it#he didn't know who lord byron was today ;____;#for the record this is also my friend who didn't know who madonna was. he's seemingly made it a goal to break my heart at least twice a week
