splatoon ocs but as a conversation we had during a 10 hour splatoon session
(once again from my friend park, @/teeparkss on twitter, view this on twitter here !)
Follow-up to that one piece I did hah, trying out different styles n brushes but hope this can suffice for now
mending socks like it’s the ninteenth century and my husband cannot afford to buy new ones for our 11 children with his 10 shellings a week salary from the osha violation factory
“That sounds like a good idea…….”-“Is there something bothering you with the idea?”-“No, the idea is GOOD…..🙂”
Can someone explain this to me?
Old people use quotation marks to indicate emphasis, as a substitute for italics (which many of them could not produce on the old typewriters they learned to write on), whereas young people use them to indicate sarcasm or falseness. They’re used as “scare quotes”.
And old people use ellipses simply to indicate a pause, or for some other incomprehensible reason I’m not aware of. But young people use ellipses to indicate passive-aggression.
So an old person could type something like:
how are things going with your “boyfriend”….
and what they mean is
How are things going with your boyfriend? [Im so excited for you, sweetie, and I wanna hear about it]
But a young person would interpret that sentence as
How are things going with your so-called boyfriend…. [I say, while seething with contempt for him and possibly for you too]
The linguistic difference across generations is beautifully explained here thank you
