Most Afro-Americans, who were born in Africa and migrated to USA in some point of their life, are also non-native speakers. It is not strictly considered as an error if they say "Money don't grow on trees" but react to it as "Cool, bro", innit?

@JasonMarsh Most African-Americans were born in the US. A relatively tiny number of Africans immigrate to the US. Those that do are culturally very different from the ones that have been there for centuries. They speak differently.
In my experience (in Canada) most immigrants from Africa strive to speak standard English, just like most immigrants from anywhere else.
(inasmuch as they make choices about how they speak English. Many people learn enough to be understood and leave it at that, so their speech is accented and full of errors or short-cuts that don't really affect comprehension, but are not at all standard)
 
Jason Marsh
Jason Marsh
Spot on mate. I guess I was just speaking in AAVE, which isn't a standard English but widely used.
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
mm-hm. That's all it really takes to be speaking AAVE, just say "don't" where white folk say "doesn't".
 
Jason Marsh
Jason Marsh
It's more than just "just say 'don't' where white folk say 'doesn't'".
For example, a lot of extensive AAVE speakers tend to use "ain't" in place of "don't".
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

it's not
nothing to do with AAVE
 
Jason Marsh

What do you mean?
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
hashtags are a feature of twitter, and other social networks
their online use has spread into meatspace
But their use is in no way correlated with AAVE or standard english
 
Jason Marsh

Quick question: How frequently do you receive contacts, through any form of communication medium, from other humans (excluding mum and dad)?

And I am in online chat with my coworkers all day
And I have a wife and kids who live with me
They are asleep now, as any sane person in my timezone would be
Plus I see other people when I go out of the house: neighbours, etc.
Weekly team meetings with coworkers
Facebook and G+ friends
stuff like that
why?
 
Jason Marsh
Jason Marsh
I was just curious about how other humans around the world are like.
I'm probably not going to get married though. I purposefully have put myself on the lowest marriage scale because of that.
Smart move, huh?
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
 
Jason Marsh
Jason Marsh
"marriage scale"?
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
yeah
 
Jason Marsh
Jason Marsh
5:44 AM
I learnt it from a gentleman who I met on TeamSpeak last time. He said it means you are the last one to be considered to get married with.
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
I don't find the expression very idiomatic.
a scale measures things
You don't put something on a low scale
usually
you might get a low measurement from a scale
You might say "I purposefully rank myself low on the marriage scale", but even then, a "marriage scale" is not a thing I'm familiar with.
 
Jason Marsh
Jason Marsh
Perhaps we can add this exciting new feature into English used in ELU or even in AAVE.
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
Just keep saying it. If it catches on, it becomes part of the language. Until it catches on, it's just wrong. :)

British way of saying a popular Online retrailer of books, Amazon(.com).

@RegDwigнt So did all of Deutschland get shitfaced last night? Or were they about as stunned as Brazil?
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
@Robusto I still have trouble believing what I saw.
 
Robusto
Robusto
If you have trouble, think how the Brazilians must feel.
The team must have fled for the airport directly from the stadium.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
I literally pinched myself a couple times. I can't remember ever doing that.
The Germans were in just as big a shock as Brazil.
 
Robusto
Robusto
Now I think Team USA's 1-0 loss to Germany is almost a victory.
 
RegDwigнt

10:53 AM
Yeah no shit.
Almost lost to Algeria and Ghana, too.

But back to the original question, in rained rather heavily last night, so quite a few "Public Viewings" as they are called in Germany were called off.
Also, it was a late game.

@RegDwigнt Also, by "shitfaced" I mean more than usual.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
That's another important factor.
 
Robusto

For a game, that is.

I actually stopped drinking, that's how dumbfounded I was.

Robusto
I guess statistically you're going to have outliers like that one every now and then.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
I would have celebrated like hell had it been a 2:1.
@Robusto yeah, and more importantly, it can go either way.
I mean, what do we think would have happened had Brazil scored two goals in the first 20 minutes.
 
Robusto
Robusto
People would have written the game off for Germany.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
10:59 AM
As you said after the very first goal, "it's over".
 
Robusto
Robusto
Yup.
Well, if Team Germany gets up 1-0 on you that early, the way they've been playing, it is pretty much over.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
I really want them to meet Ned in the final.
In no small part because then Bra will meet Arg.
 
Matt Эллен
Matt Эллен

RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
So two duels between hating neighbors.
 
Robusto
Robusto
As I've said before, I know only the basics of the game, but the German team just looks better at positioning themselves. Their movement away from the ball always sets them up for a pass or a block, and they move as a team.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
11:01 AM
And just imagine Bra losing to Arg. At home.
 
Matt Эллен
Matt Эллен
they should change their abbreviation to Arq

This would be the final nail in the coffin.
They would literally stop playing football forever.

No joy in Mudville, as the saying goes.
Casey at the Bat
"Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888" is a baseball poem written in 1888 by Ernest Thayer. First published in The San Francisco Examiner on June 3, 1888, it was later popularized by DeWolf Hopper in many vaudeville performances. It has become one of the best-known poems in American literature. The poem was originally published anonymously (under the pen name "Phin", based on Thayer's college nickname, "Phineas"). Synopsis A baseball team from the fictional town of Mudville (implied to be the home team) is losing by two runs with two out in their last inning....
    Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
    The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
    And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
    But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Casey has struck out.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
That is one long poem.
 
Robusto
Robusto
I quoted the important part.
The rest is included for background.
What would happen if Ned beat Deu in the final?
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
11:05 AM
Nothing much.
Been there, done that.
Remember that this is Germany's fourth semifinal in a row. (Another historical record, btw.)
 
Robusto
Robusto
While the Brazil game was a goalfest, you have to think the German team was wishing they could bank some of those goals for use later.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
Yeah first thing I said after 3:0.
Why the fuck is this not the final.
Would be worthy of a final, too.
Bra vs. Ger, I mean come on.
But now it will be a coin flip, against whichever opponent.
Ned are on fire, and while Arg's asses were kicked real good by Ger the last two times around, their defense just sucks every last nerve out of you. Annoying to play against.
 
Robusto
Robusto
Who did Germany beat to get into the semis? I can't remember.

RegDwigнt

This time? France, yes.

11:10 AM
Oh. That was the one with the backwards glancing header by Klose, right?
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
Yeah.
 
Robusto
Robusto
Which looked either like a) an accident, or b) the work of a supernatural scorer.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
Another close game. Almost a 1:1 in the very last seconds.
@Robusto no wait, against France it was Hummels.
 
Robusto
Robusto
I can't recall. Statistically the probability was that it was Klose.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
See, I stopped drinking last night and already my memory is not working properly.
@Robusto that much is true.
 
Robusto
Robusto
11:12 AM
What, has he scored like 80% of their goals?
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
Well, in case you missed it, he now holds the record for the most goals in World Cup history.
 
Robusto
Robusto
feints from lack of surprise
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
He actually got an insert saying that when he was substituted.
16 goals in 23 games.
Previously, the record was 15, held by Ronaldo.
 
Robusto
Robusto
I didn't watch after the first four or five goals. It was like watching a pro boxer beating up a high-school kid.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
So he pulverized the record of a Brazilian player, in Brazil, against Brazil.
 
Robusto
Robusto
11:14 AM
How much of Germany's success is coaching and how much player talent?
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
So anyway. Like 99% of his goals are headers.
So statistically, yes, if we are talking about a German header, it's likely Klose.
@Robusto there is a lot of talent in pretty much every team at this level. But not every team plays like a team.
 
Jason Marsh
Jason Marsh
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
Look no further than Brazil. They have the most expensive defender in the world, they have Tiago Silva dispatching the balls, and they had Neymar. But they didn't impress as a whole.
Same for Argentina.
Or Portugal.
Or even France.
The whole must be more than the sum of its parts. For most teams it isn't, for Germany it is. That can only be attributed to the coach.
 
Robusto
Robusto
@RegDwigнt As I say, that comes across even to an ignoramus like me.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
And in no small part should it be attributed to the previous coach who started it all. Klinsmann. He will do wonders to the US team, too, mark my words.
He already has.
They play well, and they work as a team.
 
Robusto
Robusto
11:18 AM
@RegDwigнt He got a lot of bad press for stating the truth early on: that this US team wasn't going to win the Cup.
 
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
@Robusto someone should finally point out how the only Unamerican thing is the very word Unamerican.

A: cross between across

Kevin WorkmanThe first sentence. Your second sentence doesn't contain a verb. "Cross" is a verb, at least in this instance. "Across" is either an adverb ("I ran across to meet you") or a preposition ("I ran across the street").

Wow.

@685-252 I wanted to make use of this new feature of English just to amuse you.
Sorry if it threatened you.

Putting two words together is not a new feature of English or any language.
@685-252 to his defense, calling Asians a single race is racism.

Let's not blow it out of proportion.
There was no racism or laughs, only a random sequence of random words with complete disregard for any context past present or future.

@RegDwigнt It is not a proportion when you divide by zero.

Q: How exactly does the response "infintely many" answer the question of "how many"?

685-252I admit that the level of this question is roughly about middle school, but this is what the question asks: The ratio of nickels to dimes to quarters is 3:8:1. If all the coins were dimes, the amount of money would be the same. Show that there are infinitely many solutions to this problem.
