HA! yeah they do act and seem to think like that, the German Shepard I had as a young man acted that way.
I thought German Shepards were dogs, not young men.
Wait, did you mean you had a young German Shepherd?
OK, read that again out loud and then ask me.
(face-palm…)
English isn’t Izzy’s first language.
Colloquialisms, such as in this case, missing out certain words that are implied by the context, can generate ambiguity during translation.
Thank you.
English is not indeed my first language, that is correct. Is that correct?
I am however, a big fan of the elephant in my pyjamas joke, as made famous by Groucho.
I still don’t understand why he would keep a German Shepard as a young man.
Still, I guess it’s much better than keeping a young man as a German Shepard.
When I was a young man, I had a German Shepard.
You’ll have to understand, I’m always under attack from grammar-nazis and trolls, so I get a bit grumpy. I quit facebook for that very reason, I’m dyslexic and something that is spelt/wrote wrong looks fine to me at first.
C’mon dude, no one’s attacking you.
I’m just having a laugh, to unwind from the serious intellectual discourse of the ToonHole comics.
I did understand the first comment. I did see comments from You and Izzy often and never had issue reading the grammar.
With text form, it can be easy to misunderstand something, even when the grammar is perfect, so the best thing is trying to clarify or ignore it, and not take misunderstandings personally
My English grammar is decent but not good, but most people do not really care about that
Not taking things personally, used to be the number one rule, in the olden days of the interwebz.
Then came social media.
Und sie sagen, dass die Deutschen keinen Sinn für Humor haben.
