    I want to argue, but I have to admit that your English is far better than my German.

      I am a fully genuine fiction writer. I am fully candid about the neccesity of fun.

      Language is a conductive medium that behaves bizzarely depending on environmental conditions.

      Spelling matters for comandline, translation.

      My tongue nor typewriter are region-locked.
      They are drunken and given to singing.

      No need to mind. :3 Fortunately plants look great in bauhaus.

      Perhaps what sets me apart from some first language english speakers is that I don't necessarily treat it as superior in value to other languages, even dowm to the phonym. I just want to create and communicate.

        Kindergarten to 6th grade (12 yoa) in the majority of the US. 7th and 8th are middle school.

        Middle school is also grade school.

          Krass is German.

          That doesn’t change that the English spelling is crass.

          Also, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crass says crass made its way from Latin via French to English, not German. Always with a C, btw.

          If you could stop smelling your own farts for a second you would see why that doesn't matter.

          https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/krass

          The spelling krass has been the prescribed spelling since the German spelling reform of 1996 (the Rechtschreibreform).

          Get fucked.

                You’re absolutely right! Those dumb English people are wrong for not adhering to the German spelling reform. How dare they?

                Also the spelling reform only changed the previous ß to a ss. The spelling reform has nothing to do with the c/k debate. What was your point again other than brainless insults?

                  No, you are dumb because you can't follow a simple conversation that is still written out.

                  I was using German. Doesn't matter how the English spelling is.

                  That is too difficult for you to understand. With all your Arroganz, that is too much for you.

                    What nation? Act as what? What is that Wortspiel ftw thing supposed to mean with that formating?

                    You seem to already have lost your sanity because this reads like something you find written in feces on a asylum wall.

                      I watched fight club for the first time in 10 years recently. I’ll tell you that movie hits different when you’re 20, 30 or 40. I remember in my 20s it all seemed so cool and badass, now that I’m 40 I see now that they’re a bunch of incel losers with toxic masculinity and a lack of self awareness.

                        They are a bunch of losers, but their plights are very legitimate. That's how a charismatic cult leader swoops in and radicalises them.

                        We have a number of real world examples of that. The most current one being Andrew Tate.

                                Generally not understood as such though. I would say common vernacular is more accurate to the intended meaning than the technical truth

                                  That's rich coming from the person who was previously correcting a stranger's grammar in an unnecessarily aggressive tone.

                                  Sounds kind of like projection..

                                    She's probably real in the novel as well, but I don't think you can definitively say it's an impossible interpretation in either.

                                    It's a bit more clear in the novel for a few reasons but you can still wave away a lot of the points against it simply by pointing to how extremely unreliable the Narrator is.

                                    In Fight Club 2 the main character is medicated and living with Marla. She is real. I think they even have kids by Fight Club 3. I stopped reading by then.

                                        I went to one school, K through 8. Called it grade school. But it was a private Lutheran church school.

                                        I think it depends on if you are talking private or public schools.

                                          Sure, but my point was general consensus. For the purposes of this discussion, I'll use the US. According to Pew (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/06/06/us-public-private-and-charter-schools-in-5-charts/) 83% of k-12 students went to public schools. Many of our parents couldn't afford to send it to private if they wanted to.

                                          This of course varies by country, googling for a few countries (Japan, UK, Germany) actually all betrayed my expectations,with higher public school percentages for primary schools than the US. They generally do have different grade structures though. Edit: for those 3, primary/grade school went to 4th or 6th grade.

                                          Personally elementary/grade school was up to 5th grade, 6-8th was middle, 9-12 high school. Technically I started school in Saint Vincent, in what I believe was a private school, but we moved back to the US when I was in 2nd grade going to third.
