I am all for developing languages so that you get new words. And am I really dying on this hill. Hell no😊

Hnggnmgg. “sound of blood vessels popping”

The messyness must go tbh.We can’t have this bastardization we live with now😊🤪

Oh my… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word

Edit: Omg Decathlon. A hybrid word in the Olympics…an event with Greek roots. #Sad

Its just a silly notion that you either choose a Greek root or a Latin root for a word. No mixing, just "wrong"😊

It bugs me less than directly translating English expression into Norwegian (my native toung). Some of them just sounds weird

Abolishing the word “automobile” since it mixes Greek and latin.

Not american so I don’t really know, but it’s probably a central archive facility for the entire nation. Guessing a passport is a federal document so it makes sense that the document handling is centralized

You are very US centric. In my town there are one McD, one BK and one SubWay waay outside the downtown area. That is for a Norwegian town that has roughly 50k ppl in its “Metropolitan” area. I take the train home and besides some Sushi places (decent) and Kebab joints (awefull) I can choose BK or McD if I just walk in of the street toward the station
