To be blunt, in my tiny amount of time here, I regularly don’t understand what you’re saying, and I read the above as you directly contradicting feedback.

rotund pier
#

You literally said 'i over rely on X and it works perfectly'

That's not how that phrase works; it's a contradiction

green oasis
#

I'm unsure if things are getting lost in translation or what's happening but something weird is at bay.

rotund pier
#

I said this last week and everybody pitchforked me for suggesting something clinical might be at play

gusty ermine
#

😭

hollow ingot
rotund pier
#

That's a completely different sentence 😂😭

green oasis
#

😭

#

I think it's just miscommunication or something

green oasis
hollow ingot
#

It just is absolutely useless for me!

green oasis
#

Wait don't get offended

#

Ah

gusty ermine
#

Yeah I believe it’s just been miscommunications here is all

green oasis
#

I don't know how to word this.

hollow ingot
#

It is why it doesn’t help.

random girder
#

But you're specifically asking people here for help, it isn't comparable.

fallow violet
#

This is a language learning server lol

random girder
#

Like when you send clips of yourself talking and ask how it is. Don't you want feedback to improve?

green oasis
# hollow ingot I do talk to them, I ain’t refused yr advice.

Hm, not refused just sometimes when you are given advice that you can do to help improve your skills, you do not want to do it. When it is small things like, "Hey try it again, we didn't understand you" you take it well. However, when we give you practical advice, or advice to help you be able to be more understandable without us constantly having to tell you that- you don't take it.

Are you talking about Glasgow?

hollow ingot
green oasis
#

I think Glasgow was trying to tell you why the word you were using was being used incorrectly.

#

He does sometimes have a know-it-all tone to him, but he has pure intentions.

gusty ermine
#

I don’t think glasgow had bad intentions hon

green oasis
#

Sorry @rotund pier , I had to do it to you

#

😭

random girder
#

Yeah I read all the stuff he said, he's giving genuine feedback on your word choice. You probably think the words have different meaning than they actually do.

green oasis
#

I love you still though

rotund pier
#

Misquoting is changing the words when you repeat back what you're claiming someone else said. I replied right to the message of yours where you said the thing I was talking about...

🤷🏼‍♂️

hollow ingot
random girder
#

But if you don't want corrected, why do you frequently send audio then ask about your accent?

hollow ingot
#

I did misunderstand!

rotund pier
#

🤦🏼‍♂️

gusty ermine
#

😭😭

hollow ingot
gusty ermine
#

I understand hon we all make mistakes🫶🏾

hollow ingot
#

Yes, also, the word “miscommunication” is misused.
Language is based on facts on other subjects, that’s how grammar and phonetic get formed. Even natives make mistakes because nobody knows every word.
Communication is used for utterance, writing, and body language.
Since it is a result of my drowsiness, it is a mistake from my part unrelated to language or non-linguistic forms of communication.

But I can’t resist, as both language and media are fun!

random girder
hollow ingot
#

(Feel free to correct me!)

hollow ingot
#

@random girder U drink coffee?

random girder

#

Would misunderstanding someone not be a communicative misunderstanding? He tries to communicate something, you accidentally misread it, so it isn't properly communicated.

#

I feel like we're just giving synonyms for the same word lol

hollow ingot
#

(I am not objecting anybody, I just try to know more since nobody knows everything).

hollow ingot
#

(Pls, teach me a general informal synonym of “as a result”!)

@random girder U like myth?

random girder
#

or mythology?

hollow ingot
# random girder myths?

Myth can be used uncountably.
But I don’t think of grammar or intonation when I speak, as they come naturally.
But punctuation needs thinking to be used right since most of us don’t use them.

hollow ingot
# random girder myths?

Myth (uncountable), mythus/mythos (countable), mythology (countable) = A collection of myths.
Greek mythology means the study either the literary or archaelogical one both also delve in language and psychology.

What sounds strange I wouldn't classify as something about the AI you used

#

I would rather say that it is a problem in the adaptation of the lyrics of the song, like poorly adapting an opening.

#

The word "misterioso" is repeated many times in a short period of time to describe almost the same thing, and this creates listening fatigue.

Be careful using slang

what does it mean in slang?

other than that

hub can be used as slang for a certain site online that contains inappropriate videos and content, as it's the short version for it

for example, "the hub"

#

To invite people over your private vc, it's "&inv @/someone"

#

Other people in the vc other than the one who created it (aka the owner) can invite people, but their invitations aren't "permanent" in the sense that, if the people they invited leave the vc, they need another invitation to join again
Also, the people they invite can't access the vc's chat, and they have to put "&acc" to accept the invitation, then join any vc and the bot will move them over to the private vc
Anyway, I always recommend that the owner of the vc invites everyone because it's just easier

#

Oh, and you can invite multiple people in a single message, but be careful not to ping too many people because it'll be seen as spam lmao, I usually do 5

#

Hope that helps blobheart
