Stop using the spoiler function incorrectly

wouldn't
would not
Which Touhou would not you fuck?

Which touhou would not, you fuck?

>>9122647
make me

It should be “Which Touhou would you not fuck?”

Being able to speak proper English should be a reqiurement for posting on 4chan.

>>9122687
Fuck off elitist americunt, it gets the message across. What if english is his second language? Stop being such fucking asshole.

>>9122650
>>9122639

Autists, probably of the type who have English as their second language (the worst type of all).

OP's use of "wouldn't" is fine, if colloquial. People use "wouldn't" in this sense all the time. Examples:

"Wouldn't your mother be proud?"
"Wouldn't you like to come in and have some tea?"

Perfectly natural. Language evolves, deal with it.

>>9122689
language evolves just like ur mum xDDDDDDDDDD

trolled so hrad

u mad faget?
i kno ur butt is flaming hot

All of them.

>>9122689
But it's proscribed.

if i typd lyk this, you would complain. But a lot of people *do* type like that, and it is possible that within a few decades it will become standard English.

Semantic or grammatical change is no excuse for being wrong.

I evolved his mum from slut to anal slut X----------D

>reqiurement

Ahahahaha let's all point at this faggot and laugh

>>9122707
Even the might nihonjin uses a negative connotation in that manner, you just can't admit you're wrong.

>>9122712
Nice find, dude!

>>9122687
I bet you also think we're all 18+ here.

>>9122707

1. You mean "prescribed".
2. Prescriptivism is fucking stupid, most modern linguists agree.

This thread, man. This thread right here.

>>9122709
thx 4 backin me up /b/rother

>>9122722
>mfw descriptivism on /jp/
You usually don't expect it from autists.

>>9122722
No, I mean proscribed.

I agree prescriptivism is dumb, but no matter how "liberal" your idea of the English language is, we need to have standards. Even if they're just what average Joes think is right or wrong. There's a reason every sufficiently large news organization has a style guide.

This is what happens when you misuse the spoiler feature.

Delete this thread and try again, OP.

>>9122742
This is what happens when you have autism.
*grabs dick*

>>9122731

>we need to have standards.

Oh I agree. It's just that those standards can and do change.

Linguistic decorum will change radically in the next few decades as a result of technological influence. 10 years ago it would've been weird to see "lol" on daytime TV. Now it's normal. Is that stupid? Arguably. Not "wrong", however.

I kind of miss the guy that tells everyone to fuck off with their spoilers.

>>9122749
Fine then, it's stupid.

And so is >>9122632 for being wrong.

>>9122746
>>9122752
fuck off with your spoilers

Prescriptivism makes sense. Imagine the English language was consistent and standardized without all these bullshite rules and non-rules.

Still grammatically proper; it's just awkward. Learn2English faggot.

✓ Condescending /a/ attitude.
✓ Rehashing an argument without reading the thread.
✓ age-ing the thread with nothing to contribute.

Alright natsuchuu get out of my /jp/.

>>9122824
Who gives a fuck, "grammatically proper" just means it fits some conventions.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

>>9122851

Language is nothing but a bunch of sounds and symbols that fit some conventions, nerd.

>>9122856
I sucked your mum's dick at a convention last night, fartcommander.

I like prescriptivism.
It is very poetic.
It also gives off a very mystic, archaic air.

If it is meet to do so in the strict German language, then it should be at least acceptable in the lax English language.

this thread wow

Seeing as both of them don't exist I would not have sex with either of them.

However if Ran-Sama did one day exist then I would definitely mofumofu with her fluffy things.

Most autistic thread of 20XX

The phrase "wouldn't you" has been used in English since at least the 1700s according to Google Books. Having an issue with a phrase that has existed for almost three centuries isn't prescriptivism; it's just moronic shitposting on /jp/.
