I did have to look up 'lither' - means 'more lithe'. or really really flexible.
It also can mean "deceitful; evil; false; treacherous; sinful, wicked; leading to cruelty, injustice, or wickedness, perverted; of a country: filled with wicked people".

When I play along with 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, I have to pause the tv because I take so long. So, I can't express how delighted I was to figure these scrambled words out so quickly. Right up until I found out I hadn't.
Well, if they're behaving themselves, they shouldn't have anything to worry about.
My mother does a bit of scrapbooking and card making, and ordered a set of letter and number stamps once. She was upset when they arrived and there were stamps for 0 thru 8, but no 9. I gave her a couple minutes to get there by herself before I walked over and said "This is gonna blow your mind; Watch this..."
Some languages use right to left writing and their books begin from right and end on left. If this is the case it might be reasonable to sort the books that way. And before you ask, numbers are still written left to right so it is a pain when you write something right to left and then have to insert a longer number left to right. 4 years of studying Hebrew :)

The fact that it would take 200,000 years at the speed of light or 1.9 billion years in NASA's Parker Solar Probe at 394,736mph to get to the other side of our own galaxy, other space travel capable lifeforms in the Milky Way wouldn't waste their time on a volcanic planet covered in water, never mind inquiring minds on other galaxies further away than human comprehension. I know what I just wrote, but my feeble brain doesn't comprehend being in a ship for light years. Sci-fi has always been my favorite genre of books/films, but Star Trek will never be our reality. The only way aliens will ever come to this planet is if they've installed a dodgy GPS that accidently leads them here. And by the time aliens finally get a blip about contemporary Earth, we'll have already destroyed it by the time they get here. Just not a practical flight for an intelligent species.

Load More Replies...I used to teach English as a second language to adults. Once, and student asked me, "What is this word m***a?" They were genuinely stumped. A few other jumped, that yes, they needed to know this word. I proceeded to say, "Oh, like m***a, brotha, fathu?" They said exactly. We spent a little time on regional accents that evening. I told them the actual words, and they were all like, "Oh, that makes sense!"
if the word is legit "motha" then why the fkingly fking fkery is it censored?
Load More Replies...When I lived in Germany, my street was called Sierichstrasse. A festival of three different ways to pronounce the letter S. It was great fun telling people my address. (And before anyone comes for me, yes I know the double S is technically an ß, but to my non-German ears it’s an S!)
I drunk texted my Kung Fu instructor to ask how Chinese dictionary is organised. Had to do extra pushups.
My Japanese kanji dictionary has several indexes: Two different types of readings Total stroke count Radical, or common sub-component of the characters
My chinese dictionary as well but I guess that's not a surprise XD

Load More Replies...This is misleading - the fire department soaked the house and detached garage while the fire was approaching. The lawn being watered may have helped, but the firefighters are the real heroes here. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-sprinklers-save-house-from-massive-wildfire/
Surprisingly this does work, sometimes. Growing up in southern Alberta, Canada, we frequently have forest fires in the mountains and grass fires on the prairies. More than a few times people (especially farmers) have saved their houses by setting up extra sprinklers or even jury rigging irrigation pipes to their houses to save their property

I'm content with my tattoos, and the ones I didn't like, I covered. But for newbies, maybe use a sharpie and live with it for a few days. Especially if you're having words tattooed. The mistakes I've personally seen could fill a coffee table book.

At the end of each day and the end of each week, we had to add up how many hours we had worked, because you could be under or over a certain number of hours a week. Some people tried to add their totals on a calculator, which would have made 100 minutes = one hour.
I'm Aussie and I can tell you that the spelling is completely wrong. It isn't "Oztraylia" it's " 'Straya"
I can't read the last two lines. I don't speak Australian. Subtitles would be welcome...
I think most of us can. Though if there were several paragraphs of it, I think I’d get a headache.
Load More Replies...I grew up in a heavily wooded swamp so any method to keep biting insects away was implemented. I was an adult before I found out that the DIY cork hats we wore are famously worn in Australia. The idea to carry a slender branch to flick away the insects probably came from one of the Nat Geo magazines we got.
Cork hats are not a common sight in Straya and then mostly seen being worn by pink (sunburnt) tourists.

I am not sure why people are struggling with this one. It is logical and follows the general rules. Not like "its" and "it's"
People struggle with 'there' and 'their', which is sort of understandable, but "they're" follows the rules.
Load More Replies...Gonna step off the other replies here and state ... my mom has written several books. I was appalled at one of the deaths she wrote in one of the books, and asked her why?!!! She said, completely flatly, that's the way the story went, I didn't have a choice. I was like 😵 woman you wrote the thing!! But, now that I am much older, and I reread it, I get it.
So... Are we just going to ignore the appalling grammar at the top of the post then??? Just trying to lighten the mood...
Hermione and Ron were fine. Harry should've ended up with Luna and Ginny with Neville.
I've been saying this about Harry and Hermione forever and said she only put Hermione and Ron together to sell more books cause that's what her audience wanted. People thought I was crazy. HA! In your face haters!
Who could've guessed? A post about J.K Rowling sparking hatred, but what else is new?

Load More Replies...Two students were taking an English test. One question was about whether it was better to use "had" or "had had" in a sentence. John, while Joe had had "had had", had had "had. "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher. (Not mine)

Far får får får ? nej min søn, får får ikke får, får får lam, Old Danish riddle that means, Dad do sheep get sheep ? no my son, sheep do not get sheep, sheep get lambs, in this case får means both "sheep" and "get"or in the this case it would be understood he meant "gives birth to" (i know ;) ) and the pronunciation is the same, like "Får jeg ?" = "do i get ?" but the sheep "version" is un useable here, (sorry for the crude translation) ;)
I am an American and I work for a Dutch Company and moved in 2022 to an almost all Dutch team. I started trying to learn Dutch. I told them that English and Dutch are all based on one person speaking to 2 illiterate people trying to write down what was being said.

Load More Replies...A clear example of gaslighting is my English teacher insisting I hate German bc of the war and that Dutch is way uglier than German. I can't understand stupid people willingly exposing their stupidity. A dumb argument is not convincing.
It needs to be convincing for it to be gaslighting, though.

When I was 6 we had a phone in the house. It was joined on to a wire on a plug in the wall, and couldn't be moved anywhere else. If it rang when I was upstairs I always ran downstairs shouting "Coming!"
Some websites/services require "strong" password. So strong, in fact, that Password123 is weak, but Password123* is, like, the strongest password in the history of mankind.
The worst people with passwords seems to be doctors in my experience, so many password resets.
And it sounds TERRIBLE. (You're referring to the song from Friends, right?)

This really happened to me! I thought that a positive test would show as a + sign, as it is the case with other brands of tests. I thought I had a "double negative" and therefor was not pregnant. Also, there was no legend on the test stick I had to inform me otherwise. Well.... "Double negative" will be 6 yo next week and he's the very best thing to have happened to me ever... ♥️
Don't forget highschool, buy a year book. I'm actually super pissed because Alma was supposed to sign my 10th grade yearbook over the summer and she just kept it. Back in 2002.
You will remember yearbook shenanigans for life. I am 42 and I haven't forgotten the embarrassment of fourth grade, when the most popular boy in class walked over to me during yearbook signing on the last day of school. I thought he wanted me to sign his yearbook, so I grabbed it and handed him mine. As I started to sign his, he said "Oh, sorry, I actually just wanted to ask you if you knew where Ryan was." I can STILL feel my internal cringe, well over thirty years later.

The other week, I was going through my senior year book. Next year will be 20 years since I graduated. Someone named Tori literally wrote a full page to me. I can't remember her.

Well *deep breath* "the sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace, where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees"
Well akshually.. *Deep breath* Forget that song! We got it wrong! The sun is a miasma, of incandescent plasma! The sun's not simply made out of gas, no, no, no! Freakin' love TMBG and that album is incredible! Edit; typo
Load More Replies...Nuclear fission. This process occurs only in stars as they have the required density for such a violent reaction to occur. The particles are squeezed just tight enough that the temperature also starts to increase due to the particles vibrating about their mean position. These intense conditions cause hydrogen atoms to “squeeze” together to form Helium and helium to lithium and so on till Iron. Each of these fission reactions release intense amounts of light and heat energy but with each new element forming, the energy produced gets less and less which is a problem for stars. This is because the gravity of the star is intense due to high density and the only thing preventing the star from imploding is the energy getting released during fission that pushes against gravity. Once fission reaches iron, the energy produced is too less to balance gravity and so depending on the mass of the star it could either immediately go supernova and create black holes or neutron stars or a white dwarf
'Fission' means splitting, same root as 'fissure'. You mean 'nuclear fusion', as in to fuse together.

Load More Replies...It would have been better if the chest was an actual square & not a rectangle.
Not only not funny but also wrong - twice. First mistake: the sum is written on a box, not a flat piece of wood. The box is six-sided and is therefore a cube, so the number needs to be the cube root. The second mistake: A root is underground, so the figure on the buried box should be the cube root of 100, which is 4.64158.
In a cube, all the edges have the same lengths, which makes all the faces congruent squares. The fact that it is not the case here is what's wrong because it doesn't fit your much cleverer and funnier version. (Better to use 1,000,000 in first panel since its cube root is 100.)

Y counts as a vowel when there are no other vowels. That does mean that cryptic, cystic, crying, trying, flying, drying, and flying have the same amount of vowels as the root words
Load More Replies...There are but they're all either archaic (crwth, cwtch, etc) or controversial to call words (brr, psst, grrl, etc.)
Psst is an interesting one! Screw the "controversial to call words", word is basically undefinable anyway. But while grrl certainly has a vowel (sound) and I think brr usually does too (a reduced schwa at least), I think "psst" really doesn't. Nice!
Load More Replies...Technically speaking, vowels and consonants are the sounds made when pronouncing the letters, and not the letters themselves.
Yes, indeed - this is the cause of so much misunderstanding, because it's not taught properly.
Load More Replies...That has a vowel really. It's just not spelled with it. It's pronounced "enth", at least by me.
