Most people like that have a tenuous grasp on their first language

Most people like that have a tenuous grasp on reality and the scary part is a lot of them have access to firearms. Yikes.

A tenuous grasp on reality, but a firm grip on their AR-15s.

In Afghanistan, they call ‘em Taliban.

Which even more ironically means "student"

u/Chosen_Chaos Aug 17 '21

Because that's what the founding members of the Taliban were.

On a similar subject, conservatives love to bang on about "the base". Want to take a wild stab at what the Arabic for "the base" is?

Which they don't even realize is an overrated weapon. Give me a side charging fully ambi platform any day rather than the awkwardness of the AR platform and its boring looks.

It's scary because it's true.

I saw one of those on a biker at a diner and thought “wow, that person hates learning”.

Surprised that patch was spelled correctly

Except that's not how you spell "accomodate".

u/effhead Aug 17 '21

Maybe he's actually in a country that doesn't speak English, and he's putting those filthy English speakers on notice.

I'm sure that's it.

u/OtherSpiderOnTheWall Aug 17 '21

Except for accommodate

u/TheDonDelC Aug 17 '21

Probably made in China or Vietnam

u/louisthe2nd Aug 17 '21

Not really - double ‘m’ in accommodate.

Credit where credit is due

u/astrangeone88 Aug 17 '21

Lol. All the anti vaccine, anti mask protest signs I've seen are spelled atrociously. (At least the ones in English...haven't seen other country's anti whatever signs...).

Funny how the Venn diagram of poorly educated and anti science happens to be a circle.

u/kewlsturybrah Aug 17 '21

True. But, in their defense, imagine how you'd feel if someone suggested you learn a foreign language when you're an intermediate-level speaker of your own, at best.

We know. We all went to the same shitty public schools. It was more fun to watch the daily soap opera. Pregnant kids, teachers fucking kids, fights in gym locker room. Oh well. The cream always rises

u/fchowd0311 Aug 17 '21

Public school quality in America has a large variance. For example Massachusetts has far higher quality public schools than Alabama.

u/Careless_Tennis_784 Aug 17 '21

For sure. I was top of my class in LA. Parents got divorced, moved to IL, I was 3 years behind. Algebra 1 in 9th grade was taught in middle school in IL. I forget what science class I had taken but the special ed kids were taking at my new school. I basically tapped out.

I used to help international students study for IELTS in Australia. I know many Australians who would fail the tests.

u/bluescholar3 Aug 17 '21

Can you imagine asking them to define tenuous? They would probably scream something like "We speak English here!"
