Comment on When was the last time you made Jello?
StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 months agoWhen someone correctly says in the context of UK English “the yanks call (UK English A) (US English B)!” and they respond “no, we call (US English B) (US English B)” and proceeds to provide a US centric lecture of nomenclature, they tend to be contradicting them. On their own geographically correct usage of the word.
Corollary example also appropriate for the US. MtF person recently transitions and word is spreading.
Person 1: They even call Roy Martha. Person 2: No, I call Roy Roy.
The only thing better than getting lectured on reading comprehension is being lectured by someone who didn’t comprehend the reading.

Man, that’s a lot of words to still be wrong.

All that time and the best response you had is “nuh uh!”. When I counter an argument and the response is pure cope, like you here, it’s a pretty clear admission that you actually can’t respond.

I don’t know how your reading comprehension is this bad. The OP of this thread said they didn’t know what jello was because they lived outside the US. Deceptichum said “they” call jam jelly, with the “they” being US people. Then maryjayjay corrected that comment, saying “we” (meaning US people) call jam jam and jelly jelly, meaning they’re 2 different things. That’s when your comment came in saying “nuh uh, the world isn’t the US!”
I’m not sure how it can be much clearer. If you’re still having trouble please point out where you don’t understand.

Your response is
I was wrong previously: the only thing funnier than being lectured on reading comprehension by someone with poor reading comprehension is being corrected by someone who is adamant you’re wrong but can’t actually tell you why. Yet I’m the idiot here. 🙄
