I'm watching a Law & Order episode from 1991 and Logan just bought the packs of cigarettes for $6.75. 😂
Uh, *three*. Lousy typos. (Please add toot-editing, mastodon, another feature twitter could never add.)
@laerm Agree. Sometimes I write something wrong because I usually type fast and my keyboard isn't the same from 5 years ago, and I need to delete the toot and write it again
@srtaveneno Yep! I understand the need to keep things as they are to help dissuade some abuses but a 60- to 90-second edit window would be nice.
@laerm Yes, especially because this could be only to replace some wrong typo (for me would be amazing, because I'm not an English native speaker, and sometimes I find myself thinking: "hmmm Did I write this correctly?" - and speaking for me is faster than writing, oddly - so, my thinking-writing flow gets messy)
@srtaveneno Well, I wouldn't've guessed that English wasn't your native language. Where are you from?
@laerm yes! I'm happy to read that - I'm from Brazil, I speak Portuguese (but I also speak Spanish, because I live in a country surrounded by Spanish speakers, and I feel it's important understanding our neighbors)
(I pretend I know French, but everything that I learned at college I just forgot. Shame)
@srtaveneno Ah, a friend of mine moved to Brazil a few years ago and loves it. It seems like a pretty great place.
@laerm Where are you from? I guess you're an English native speaker
@srtaveneno Ah, yes, I live in New York City. I love languages though so I try to pay attention to other places.
@laerm during my college years we had the opportunity of studying foreign languages. I only studied French (a language I never had previous classes) and was amazing. I still want to go back and study French, it was a good experience and strangely easy for me.
@laerm I envy you hahaha I tried a little bit of Swedish through Duolingo. I understood a few things during my trip to Stockholm (I really like to go to cold places) but not enough to engage in a conversation. I managed only to buy a chocolate.
@srtaveneno Duolingo is not too bad. I have worked on Dutch with that app.
@laerm Duolingo is cool, but I wanted to be more independent... But everything was fine, everyone understood my english and it was a great trip
@srtaveneno Yeah, I understand that. English is very common in Scandinavia.
@srtaveneno I took French and German in high school and Arabic and Russian in college. :grin: French is a lovely language and useful on mastodon. :grinning:
