In the language learning world there are two types of people.
1. The people who learn for some practical purpose, their bf speaks the language, or they need it for work etc
2. The people who want to impress others by being a person who can speak X
Naturally most redditors fall into the second category. They're an underrated drama-positive group imo because they treat number of languages spoken in the same way that chuds view IQ points, like as in an objective measurement of your social ability. And so threads are often incredibly competitive, humblebragging, dragging each other down nonsense.
So like people who assume that if you can speak another language that you can also read and write in that language, and vise-versa. What annoying assumptions have people made that annoyed you?
Let's see what insults these redditors have had to put up with from the plebs today.
That you somehow have much more free time than them, because they "would love to learn a language, but can't find the time". If you're serious about it, you'll find the time.
It's insane that people can be so insulting when trying to justify why they don't have a skill that you have. They also say you're "lucky" to have such a "talent" for learning languages, as if you didn't put years of practice into that.
I HATE the talent word usage. I have picked up a lot of skills over the years, I wrote a book, I have calligraphic handwriting, I write nice notes, and I'm B1 in Russian. This did not happen in a day, I wasn't born writing fancy notes, I spent hundreds of hours honing those abilities to the point that it's effortless now, yet all I get is "Omg you're so smart and talented". Ugh.
Naturally they're are also extremely neurodivergent and don't know when someone's just being nice and that they don't actually want to learn Icelandic or whatever with you
They find some word, or a meme in that language and it's a word you don't know or regional slang you're not familiar with. So you can't tell them what it means."I thought you spoke ___(whatever language)"
As if they know every word in English.
People ask -How do you say some word or phrase in another language. When you don't know... "So, you're not fluent?"
lol they keep getting found out as phonies
As I am an independent learner, they assume I just play with Duolingo and don't really know anything. Duo has really damaged the reputation of the independent learners :-(
Now everyone thinks I'm as low class as those, ugh, phone app people
I'm studying Japanese and i feel like i'm often judged and that people think i'm just someone who knows how to say "kawaii", "manga" and "sushi" and will lose interest in the language in three days despite having studied it seriously for years.
Japanese anime enjoyers probably have enough autism power to take it more seriously than most tbh
I actually didn't tell anyone that I'm learning Japanese. I'm a little scared that people would assume I'm this weird guy who loves hentai or something.
based autists being so uncool they can ruin someone's reputation just by association
It annoys me that they think I've given up or stopped studying the language because I don't mention it every second of every day.
implying they don't know exactly what you're doing and are taking bets on how soon you give up

Its every way worse game. It looks like shit. I have issue see where borders of arena is. Beocuse everything is this muted collored mesh that's low quality.
Game play is worse then 1. From how it feels to how fun it is. Weapons are meh. Power ups are meh. It is step down from 1.
Writing is biggest offender. It is full blow tumblar writing. Characters are cringe and gay. Writing is even worse. It is just bad
