When “I gotta post on this” turns into “no one cares what I think” real quick. (I almost deleted this)
Or I don’t know how to write what I want to say
Language arts teacher here: for a generation that conducts the majority of your social life in text format… You should have paid more attention in my class!
Sometimes it turns into “fuck it, I’ll inflict myself on everyone’s eyes anyway”. (The temptation to delete is strong though)
And yet here we are.
Happens all the t… Ah nvm
It happens to me too often because I always believe people will shit on what I have to say. Gotta improve my confidence.
Not me, writing a response to this… then deleting it because it’s not good enough 🙈
For me it’s half the time when a community requires a language and my preferred app doesn’t support selecting one yet.
Same. I feel like it’s either useless or oit of subject.
Regardless of the perceived merit of your post I think we would all just appreciate a little more participation here.
I’m precipitating!
I don’t know, for me quality definitely wins out over quantity.
Do it anyway. Lemmy will sink or swim based on interaction.
We need your comments!
Yeah I end up blathering away more now on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. Like some post over there with 1000 comments: 1, nobody’s reading them all and 2, somebody already commented what I was going to say.
My first post!
[Insert Padme/Anakin 4 panel meme] [Padme]: But you’re going to reply to this comment, aren’t you?
[Padme]: Aren’t you?
There are worse problems 😂
People are allowed to joke about minor annoyances, Benda. Lol
Who’s stopping that? I laughed in my own comment. I have the opposite problem of posting comments I should probably not bother with. Like this one.
Alright
Thank you for using “number of” instead of incorrectly using amount as is the current trend.
I can’t claim too much credit, this meme is from the before times.
Non-native here, can you explain why?
I wouldn’t worry about it much but “amount” should be used with uncountable nouns, “number” with countable nouns
Ah thanks!
It’s kinda weird to me, but I guess it makes sense in the context of English having distinct words for countable and not
Amount is for things you cannot count. For example, an amount of water. If you can count it, use number of.
HOWEVER, English is not a dead language, so the definition of amount may just be changing.
