Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany

  I speak two languages so yes, i’d say it really is. Some spanish place names are completely different than english ones and trying to dredge them up in conversation can be tedious if you don’t often use them.

  But keep downvoting people you mildly disagree with. It really improves the platform and discussions. /s

    Cool beans, I speak three languages and there’s no way you believe that some arbitrary vocabulary is harder than grammatical finesses, or some outrageous slang, or idioms/shibboleths.

    Maybe you aren’t “speaking” that second language as well as you think?

    Also, imagine caring about votes 😂 it’s not a disagree button, Brudi. But your high effort post probably deserves all the updoots.

    “/s” 🤣 holy Moses, Reddit is leaking hard.

      I’m glad accounts like yours out themselves so early after joining. Makes you easier to block.

      Keep questioning peoples lived experiences. I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends that way. /s

      I won’t be responding as i’ve blocked you.
