  Oh yeah I loved OneShot, good to see others playing it

  I also did all the runs and all the achievements, so I don’t have much to do anymore

  I played world machine edition so I might have missed out on the full experience, but I think WME did a fairly good job at emulating everything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ashmelissaleigh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if this is exactly how it works in Irish Gaelic, but in Scottish Gaelic the reason there are so many silent letters is because of vowel combinations, broad and slender consonants and lenition

  The Scottish Gaelic equivalent of that phrase would be “Thig ar latha” i think, which funnily enough I don’t think contains any silent letters

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d also guess that the large number of vowels in English has to do with it, General American English has around 16 vowels (counting both monophthongs and diphthongs, other varieties of English have similar amounts)

  I feel that when there’s that many vowels, the exact quality of the vowel is less important and thus they can shift around more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you confusing Scots and Scottish Gaelic? Scottish Gaelic is the one that’s spoken in the western isles, Scots is across most of the rest of Scotland, including big cities

  Scots is hard to tell from English sometimes because Scots has undergone near language death, where it adopted more and more features from English as it was taken over, and Scots was regarded for a decent while as nothing but bad English

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Was it Scottish English or Scots? The line between the two is blurry because intelligibility varies a lot
