  1. My school taught me where to use SHALL instead of will... No, it wasn't 16th century.

  2. But you can not use the useless article and nothing would change. The point of articles is for Westerners to feel uppity for having useless words without meaning but weird rules to use them and act all smug about people looking at them like a bunch of ridiculous snobs.

  3. Eastern Europe here: we have most of these concepts except stupid things like articles in Ukrainian.

  4. You can use the same in Slavic languages just sometimes add suffix like "to Google" something would be Googly-ty in Ukrainian. Or prefixes, "go look something up online" is "po-Googli. You can add any word however you wish it's not that hard, maybe for Westerners is, but that's YOUR problem lol.

  5. Very existential!

  6. English is very specific for body parts, liek differentiating between arm and leg digits (both "paltsi", stick-things), or parts of the leg (both foot and leg are "noga"), arm and hand are both "ruka" in Ukrainian or r*ssian.

  7. Double negative means negative two times in Slavic languages. And in some it's the only WAY to say things, i.e. in Ukrainian, you do say "I don't see nothing", but saying "I can see nothing" is stupid as you actually CANNOT see nothing and are a dirty liar claiming you can. Our language is more honest. "nobody is not here" is right, "there IS nobody here" is plain wrong... Duh.

  8. Works for Slavic languages with use of universal prefixes and suffixes. So to something- with a person you just ad -it' or -ity in the end. To Google? Googl-ity, go Google it? Po-Googli. And there are dozens of vulgar ways to say un-expletive-believable in Ukrainian. "I came in and nope'd right out of there" would have many ways mentioning any set of genitalia instead of NOPE.
