The Republican Party has latched on to 'awoke' — because it has nothing else

Hi there, So this is a linguistic question, and I am not sure if you think it will be productive to argue the point with Evolutionists. The question is - even if Evolution had not been discovered - what happened to the chance that Evolution would be discovered and used, at the tower of Babel? I...

In the same way that our humanity and experiences color the way we think, our language does also. People think more differently from each other than most of us realize. Lately I've noticed that whole threads are full of people talking past each other because they simply don't think alike...

I recently saw the debate between Inspiring Phylosophy and Cosmic Skeptic : www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ulnmb-4v2M Cosmic Skeptic is still young but seems to have talent. He will probably become a skilled adversary of superstition. I don't really adhere to any moral phylosophies (except perhaps...

Hello, everyone! Christianity is presented and functions in many languages around the world. My question is - are there approved languages by Christian leadership or God? Can you communicate/pray to God in any language or is there a list of approved languages and an approved translation of...

Hi all. I thought this might be a fun little thread, after reading in a different one that user @Al Masihi can read Syriac if it is written in Arabic characters (what is called "Garshuni" or "Karshuni"), and he's not the only person I've interacted with who has said that. I found this video on...

안녕하세요... 제가 18살이고 영국에서 삽니다. 지난 4년에 한국어 공부했었지만 몸이 아파졌었기 때문에 공부하기를 멈췄습니다.... 주님의 손으로 회복했었지만 이제 다시 공부하기를 시작하고 싶습니다만, 친구들도 없고 많이 고민이 됩니다. 기도를 요청하고 하느님에게서 도움을 받길 기도합니다. 감사합니다. I'm 18 years old and live in England, and I have been learning Korean for four years. I stopped temporarily because of...

Just say 'racist' This is because of political correctness and turning a simple descriptive term into a bad word. It's said best right here:

Sto imparando l'italiano adesso. Se qualcuno conosce l'italiano o lo sta imparando, mi piacerebbe praticare con te! —————— Anyone interested in practicing or writing in Italian here with me?

If it's racist, call it racist: Associated Press Stylebook changes guidelines for journalists "Racially charged" and other euphemisms for racism is political correctness run amok.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45535948 Odd. Granted everyone there only spoke Spanish reportedly, as does 90% of the community. One would think people would learn some English, it is the global lingua franca after all. Or at least gotten through with good ol' fashioned hand-gestures...

What is one thing you can't help but mispronounce? What is the funniest mispronunciation you've ever heard? For me, I keep saying Memes as if they were pronounced "Mems." The funniest I've ever heard is "failulure" instead of "failure."

I want to know why the word is used so much to refer to what most other denominations would call the Virgin Mary. Theokos, yes, I understand all of the theology. But that's not what I want to know. It's more of a linguistic or language question. I want to know how that word became so popular it...
