Do I just copy and paste this into my filter lists?

How are you “stuck”?

Ah. Their word choice of “gotten past” led me to assume they viewed it as an obstacle.

You can literally re-spec and redesign your character at any point. There’s no point to wasting your time picking the perfect aesthetic if you can simply change it 5 minutes later.

Yeah, what are they doing there? Crazy Antarcticans.

Annoyed that the person in the third post is pretending to be the person in the first two posts.

I could not figure out how to get acquainted with people on there.

“Let’s play Smash Bros. For science.”

Why did you have to give away a dog? What made you able to get given a new one?

I went to Rotten Tomatoes to read the reviews. Had me cracking up with how negative they were. Lol

You mean…THIS?! Yes, this is the very document referenced in the meme above.

Yup. That phenomenon is called “analogical change”. The opposite happens too though! For example, “person” and “parson”.

Actuallyyy…

Goose comes from Old English, where they pluralized [go:s] (think “goes” with a soft S) by adding [iz] (like “ease”).

When saying [go:siz], it was kinda hard for the mouth to switch the vowels from the [o] to the [i] quickly, so to save themselves the trouble, they’d change the first vowel to make it a little more similar to the second, so [go:siz] became [ge:siz].

Then, that was too long, so they dropped the [z]. [ge:si] (think “guessy” but the “e” lasts a bit longer than usual).

Then, that was too long, so they dropped the [i]. [ge:s] (“guess” with that same drawn out “e”).

📯It’s the Great Vowel Shift!📯 Now, [go:s] and [ge:s] become [gu:s] and [gi:s]. Almost there!

The vowels become a tad short over time, and now, you have [gus] and [gis] which are written “goose” and “geese”.

But “MOOSE”? That’s Algonquin. It has nothing to do with all that noise. “But they sound the same and are written the same?!” So? Haven’t you heard? English orthography is a dumpster fire. Nobody knows what they’re doing. Not even the words.

“A little”. Lol

They knew what they were doing… They had to. Lol

This just means “to insult”. Not exactly interchangeable with “overcome with a negative emotion”.

But yes, I fucking hate this kind of hyperbole in news headlines. The other one I see is blasts like somebody legit fired a Kamehameha wave at somebody else.

I genuinely appreciate the technical breakdown. 💜

Not with that attitude!

DOOM. Mick Gordon. Shame what they did to him though.

Most paladins and clerics will have proficiency in Religion specifically to compensate for this. As a DM, I also like to give clerics and paladins advantage on rolls having to do with their specific religions or gods as well.

That being said, there’s a difference between being in tune with your God versus memorizing lists of rules and historical facts related to your religion and other religions. Like, I’m an atheist, but I’ve read a lot about religions, yet there are lifelong Catholics I know that don’t know Catholicism is a type of Christianity. They believe it to be a completely separate religion. There’s also a lot of interesting stories in the Bible that I’ve referenced, but they’ve never heard of in spite of many Christians considering the Bible to be the backbone of their religious beliefs.

Not that that translates directly to a D&D cleric or paladin, but it goes to show that being a part of a religion isn’t inherently linked to knowing stuff about it.
