Happy New Year People

Happy new year people

Shout-out to multilingual writers who are writing in their second (or third and so on) language.

The frustration of speaking it fluently, but still having to google basic words when you're writing.

The absolute joy of finding a word that sounds just perfect and conveys exactly what you mean.

Doubting all your grammar and being afraid to post it or even send it to a beta reader.

The euphoria of someone calling your use of this language, that is not your mother tongue, beautiful.

i think one of the hardest things about learning a new language and getting to a level where you can actually talk about complex topics or current events is the lack of cultural knowledge you have because often you can’t just *literally* translate something as you would say it in your own language because if you do that, it takes on a whole other (often problematic or even unknowingly racist) meaning… like you don’t know the connotations of those words for native speakers and it’s not actually that easy to find out what the right words are

Whats up fuckers get ready for a major COTP rewrite

For fuck's sake
