#english poll

[cronagorgonzola]

Ok this is something my gf and i disagree about but im less interested in settling the disagreement and more curious what other people think so

[agendergenderqueermasculenbyguy]

I’m genuinely just curious about this

Also how many times did you pronounce/ sound out both words before you voted? hehehe

It would be nice if you reblog, no pressure tho :)

This is only black butler adjacent. I've been wondering how "sir" and other polite terms were used in victorian times . Like, would Finny call Bard sir, since he's older? Do kids say "yes sir" to their parents?

how many languages do you know?

(i’m counting languages where you took one class for a semester if you retained any of it congrats you are a little multilingual)

(reblog for bigger sample size!)

[culmaer]

reblog to try reach as many non-Americans as possible

they're the majority demographic on this site so it's inevitable, but let's try get some balance

countries were included based on Commonwealth membership, and whether English is an official and/or predominant language according to Wikipedia.

Reblog with what languages.

[gautierprotectionsquad]

I based these on the quotes most mentioned in the notes of that post about that telegraph article (btw jkr didn't even win the vote. Dickens did)

edit to show my tags: #i just really love books and want a collection of everyones favorite quotes#feel free to mention quotes that arent in english! it did say world literature

edit 2: I made another poll with non english quotes. And obviously you can make your own version

when you reblog, tell us what languages in the tags!!

[cashthecomposer]

Tell me where you're from in the tags, if you want.

Reblog for sample size!

I’ve always found it funny that every native speaker of any language will always tell learners how awful their language is to learn so question time

Also if you reblog pls tag with your language and answer cause I’m really curious to see

[onlythebravest]

people whose native language ISN’T english

please reblog for more votes? 😇

bonus for english speakers; if you’re speaking (for example) american english and talking to someone who speaks (for example) british english, do you expect them to pronounce your name the way you do? or is it okay if they pronounce it with their accent?
