      It applies to any English-speaking country, which makes sense since it’s written in English.

    Here’s the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.

      As long as you have that ridiculous “to og en halvfjers” counting system, you do not have a superior system 😉

      Speaking as a fellow Dane, I reject your “touch lips quickly while counting” criteria for language quality, especially since English is much more versatile and universally useful for communication and thus better 😁

      F is still not lip-to-lip, because air is leaking out your mouth between teeth and lip.

      M, all the air comes out your nose, mouth is closed.

      N, it’s your tongue stopping the air and sending it through your nose, lips are open.

    Easily verifiable by counting to from 0 to 10.

    • then_three_more@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No (assuming English language) you’d need to count to 0-10 and then 12-15, and then 1000 as teens don’t match the normal number pronunciation exactly and 1000 brings in the thousand sound.

        Why did 11 get skipped? Also wouldn’t 14 get skipped if we don’t count 16-19
        Also what about 20?

      I didn’t realize till now I must sat 4 incorrectly. My cheeks come in, lips extend outward and mostly touch except a small hole in front of my front teeth, where my top teeth rest on top of my bottom lip. Almost like a lite whistle motion void the teeth touching my lip.

      Preventable deaths from covid. Which is where we got when trump REFUSED to take any action for the health of this countries citizens.

      In Ohio we have/had Mike DeWine as govenor. Now, DeWine is a republican. And if covid never happened, I wouldn’t like DeWine in any way. I don’t agree with his politics. I don’t agree with his policies. In general I don’t support him.

      However, for the duration of covid, he listened to health experts. He put in place safety regulations and lockdowns designed to help every single citizen in the face of an at the time uncurable deadly pandemic.

      He put aside his ego. He put aside his political party. He put aside all the bullshit and did what was right WHILE HIS OWN PARTY MEMBERS THREW HIM UNDER THE BUS FOR IT.

      For that, I have to begrudgingly respect him for what he did. He put the human first at the cost of his own career.

      Meanwhile, trump let 1 million plus people die, and shrugged.

        Same with Cuomo in NYC. Can’t stand the guy, but he took covid as seriously as Fauci suggested. It was rough, since the first hot spot was in Mount Vernon and we didn’t know much about it at first. Nevertheless, people bitched and moaned about lost business while refrigerated trucks full of corpses were lining the streets.
