In that case, it is actually appropriate to use "it" because when you say that, you
are basically taking away my humanity so I know you are trying to be insulting.
So good job! I just wanted to make sure you were doing it deliberately.

>>478
I assumed "lit" was supposed to be "little" and it still worked perfectly.

>>479
Are you talking to me? I can't promise I'll have time but I'll try to take a look!

>>489
All of them are fine. "Get lost" has the most aggressive feeling, but it's still relatively mild. If you really
wanted to be mean, "fuck off" is the way to go.

>>494
That looks tasty, but I agree it seems a bit pricey.

>>496
Your post has some mistakes but I can understand you perfectly. What's stopping you from going
and talking to people in English more often? Is that what you want?

This one keeps writing mean comments.
This should have better things to do rather than posting nasty things.
Also 57bd-kURK must be the same one.
How can one write such rude comments?It' completely beyond comprehension.
This should think whether it can say same things in front of the person before posting.
Anonymity reveals your traits, so this should reflect on itself by revisiting its previous comments.

This is one of the things I love about this website compared to most American ones.
On this board, everyone agrees that there is no place for people to troll and be mean.
I've grown up living with this kind of thing. It's just water off a duck's back. It means nothing to me,
I just ignore him. But I love that everyone else also generally ignores him. Or if you do speak up,
you all are talking about how it's not appropriate, instead of just insulting him back. That's what would
probably happen on an American board.

That's a good one too! Unfortunately, "fuck off" is the strongest version I can think of.
There are other ways to tell someone to get lost, but they're more complicated.
You might want to try switching up the insults though. If you repeat the same things, it becomes
less effective.
Plus, if you really want to offend someone, you should try to be specific. If you insult
my culture, it doesn't really bother me because it's too vague.

today, my boss handed envelopes to me and my co-workers one by one.
you know, a paper was inside each envelope and you could tell by the paper
how much money you earned as a seasonal bonus.
i have carried mine with me but i haven't opened it yet because i am afraid to know the amount i got.

It is too funny that whenever I speak English, people tell me that I don't have a japanese accent. So I respond like "then which country accent do I have?"
But they answer like "I don't know. Your accent is not like that japanese people have, anyway"

I don't know why I don't have a japanese accent even though my first language is japanese and I was born and raised up in Japan.
Besides, I have never tried to imitate American accent or British accent or Aussie accent.
It seems I have my original accent that nobody has.

I'm just wondering how "go fly a kite" sounds? Is it used mainly by old people?

>>511
Yes, the Korean girls' Japanese sound natural, but you might have a different impression
when they speak Japanese in conversation.
He is the their dads' age. To think many men these days get married in their thirties, though,
he would be a pretty young dad for them.

Do you mean because that sauce is for chicken?

>>529
I get a bonus on the 15th. It's supposed to be somewhere between 1-5% of my salary,
I heard. So, that's $360-1800. It's not a ton, probably just work out to an extra paycheck.
Still, I'm excited to see. I've never worked somewhere that gave that kind of bonus before.

>>539
To me that one feels kind of old-fashioned. I think most people would understand your intent
if you said that, but they might not take it very seriously.
I can understand what you mean about the girls' Japanese. It can be easier to hide an accent
when you're singing.

What's going on in the UK?
Northern Ireland will have no hard border with the south, at the same time they will have no regulatory differences with the other parts of the UK.
This effectively means that the UK stays in the EU at least economically, doesn't it?
So they are going to pay money for EU just to control the number of immigrants?
I cannot understand what they are trying to achieve with huge amount of time and efforts exhausted.
Sovereignty might be the issue, but do people still have same opinion they've shown in the referendum?
If they take a vote at the final stage of brexit, it seems better to hold another referendum now to save time.

i will have a job interview the day after tomorrow
but i haven't studied the company or thought about how i would present myself.
the reputation of the company on internet websites is quite bad
and it makes me reluctant to work on it.

I had to put that in a translator, and it said "bird aristocracy" so I still don't know what you mean.

Thanks for your concern guys. Everything is fine where I am, the fires aren't too nearby. The air
has been really dry, and sometimes it gets smoky outside if the wind blows my way. But I'm
not very close to where the fires actually are. Here is where I am: https://i.imgur.com/6O28wxa.png

this magnitude was caused via high pressure staying long at the western u.s. and blowing dry and fierce wind from inland toward ocean direction.

I live right under the "o" in Los Angeles on 171212075209.jpg
171212075205.jpg is actually really pretty

I have a friend who lives by Ventura (ベンチュラ) and has had the fire much closer.
Last Tuesday night, she shared a video on Facebook where she could see the light
of fires over the hill on the horizon, and the smoke there has been much worse.
As far as I know, she isn't in danger, but if the fire is close enough to see at night,
that isn't good.

now i have watched the map that you uploaded
Ventura is just a little way from the fire!
there is a hill between your friend's house and the fire, .isnt there?
it's good that she is OK, though.
i can only pray for getting the fire under control at once.

now switching on CNN, it is broadcasting only about Pres. Tramp

It's extreme weather in both ways around the globe.
Some cities see heavy snow and other cities are suffering from dry and windy condition.
My town is completely covered by snow with almost 0 degree C temperatures.
This means temperature plummeted neary 30 degree in just three months.

since october i have continued to practice driving a car (going to a driving school).
this saturday, i drove in a freeway at 50 miles per hour which mustn't be that fast for most drivers,
but i felt a little scared.
i was relieved i could drive back to the school safe.

thank you.
one thing i always think is a problem is that however good the interviewer are,
you will not work "closely" with them after joining that company unless you are hired for managing position.
you will work closely with total strangers you didn't meet at the interview
and in some cases you can't get along with them at all.

Yes, there is a hill, but she saw the fire reach the top of the hill. It's crazy.
I think that part of the fire has died down though. She said the air has been a little
clearer this week. The wind changed.

>>573
We had an unusually rainy spring so lots of plants grew, and during the dry summer
and fall, all the little weeds and grass and stuff in the hills died and became dry.
That makes bad conditions for fires to easily spread.

>>576
You're thinking of Florida with the Hurricanes. It's still America, but it isn't related to
the fires in California.

>>580
Hang in there! You'll get used to it. I remember when I was learning and 30mph felt fast.

>>581
That is definitely true. All you can do is hope that the interviewer thinks about how your
personality will fit with the people you're going to work with.

Sometimes I wonder if American native speakers can perfectly understand what british people speak with their own thick english accent.

https://youtu.be/SUZyNLZZjMs

Hey jook, could you watch this and tell me how well did you understand what the actors said in the movie? Maybe can you tell out of 100%？The video lasts
For me, I could catch only the words of "fuc○ing" even though I've studing english 5 years and fairly understand american english. British english is freaking hard to listen to.

In the first scene, that guy has a really thick Scottish accent. Nobody can understand a thick
Scottish accent like that. I understood maybe 30-40%.

Then the narrator talks. Ewan McGregor is Scottish too but his accent is much milder. I can
understand him perfectly.

The next man has a thicker accent again, but not as bad as the first guy. but I can still
understand him fine. However, I am a bit familiar with Scottish people anyway so I
didn't have trouble understanding him. I can definitely see how it would be hard.

Then we have Ewan McGregor narrating again. He's easy.

Then back to the first guy. I could understand him this time because I was more prepared for it.
He said, "Right! Nobody move! That lassie got blasted, no cunt leaves here til we find out what cunt
did it."

Since I already watched the whole video, I thought maybe I would be used to the accent, so I tried
watching the first scene again. I couldn't understand any more, still about 30-40%.
see how it would be difficult for some people though.

I'm an American, and I can understand about 90% of the first guy, 100% of the narrator, and 100% of the second guy.
The understanding isn't perfect; some of the words I couldn't give you a definition of, but given the context I can fill in the blanks and get a good idea of what was the intention.
I've found that English speakers generally can understand a wide range of accents, but really thick ones that have a unique lexicon and morphology can require getting used to.
For example, I had a professor in university that had a really thick Indian accent which I could not understand for about two weeks, but
after having classes with him for that amount of time I could start to make sense of what he was saying.
