#no spell check; I don't believe in capitalizing months and days unless I feel like it

Oh hey, fairylights mod updated to 1.19 back in november... neat
Now I just need to figure out the biome thingy and technically I can work on this project whenever. Maybe next year I'll have a nice village to wander around in
#no spell check; I don't believe in capitalizing months and days unless I feel like it
#what do you think I am; German?
#the important thing to remember is that every language rule doesn't really matter
#the real test is can you break it and feel fine and be understood; if yes it's prescriptive and can be ignored if you feel like it
#as opposed to if I say 'I to the store went yesterday get eggs'... clearly that's not allowed
#it's so not allowed that it's hard to even do on purpose and you notice I'm still following rules like not breaking up 'to the store'
#always fun to poke and prod and see what you're allowed to do in your language; like investigate how it works
#cause you're better at it than you realize; you have all kinds of secret rules you know by heart in your head; and that's grammar
#stuff like... it's kind of hard to just toss out and 'if I...' statement without following it with a then statement or a question; right?
#otherwise I'm just kind of leaving it dangling
#but yeah... people are always so worried about what's 'correct' in language
#what are you; french? are you an old french man dictating how the language is to be spoken?
#if I can toss out words and you get it; i spoke right. like look here; breaking all kinds of punctuation stuff cause it's tags
#but you know what I'm saying and frankly this is how it's usually done in tags; less capitalizing and all that; innit?
#just do whatever with language; have fun with it; don't worry if it's right or not
#was just vibing a thing till it was a thing? would it have been 'bad english' to say till it got tossed in the lexicon? who cares?
#linguistics are super interesting; a language's structure is super interesting; ideas on how language effects how we think is interesting
#idioms are interesting like how if I 'talk about' or 'talk on' something those have totally different vibes
#but it's totally arbitrary; if a bird is on a tree or in a tree varies language to language and neither is right
#but yeah... do what you want with it; damn perscriptivism and all these made up rules (cause so many old dudes thought we should be latin)
#language is one of the few truly democratic things out there; and you should just have fun with it
#mm tag so i can find things later
#funny enough purely for these tags rather than the post
