Yes i get all that when talking globally. I am mostly confused on why they are claiming it is useful in understanding the loca tides rather than global.

@namtari@toot.site I seem to be unable to find this anywhere in the accounts toots, despite being listed as public. Was it deleted maybe? Can you share the original thread?

@namtari@toot.site This seems concerning. Can you share the link to the post you shared here so I can review the context please. Thanks.

Yes but deception itself isn't a gallicism unless used in english as if it were french.

so If I said "You are always letting me down, you are a deception" that would be a gallacism. However if I said "You are always manipulating people and engaging in deception" that would not be a gallacism.

In other words you have to use a borrowed word as if its definition were the same as it is in french rather than the definition we adopted for it in english. In other words the use in english of a french borrow word in idiomatic french.

Now to be clear sometimes gallicism is used far more generally than this and can be used in its most general sense to just mean "doing it the french way", but in speech we really mean idiomatic french phrases spoken in english and comprised of french borrow words

@awethon following a group makes you a member basically. A closed group would have follower approval setup and thus you must be approved for membership which you would indicate by following.

@awethon As a group member or as a group owner?

@ssl That is not my website, it is the website of where I snatched my profile picture is all.

@ssl Well then you have come to the right place. We are the most active tech server on the fediverse, and one of the most inclusive when it comes to people's opinions. I hope you will enjoy yourself here.

@ssl I'm doing very well, just doing some coding here. I am the founder of this instance and one of several moderators. Feel free to reach out anytime if you feel like chatting or need any help.

@chris so true, though the neolibs in america are a much larger population so far more the issue even if neocons are just as bad.

@ssl hi there, hows it going?

@kakshere Hi there, QOTO moderator here. Your post seems to be borderline advertising. However I do not see ads on your site so perhaps it is a personal site and non-profit. To further investigate this I would like to check to make sure you are posting as a human, this isnt automated, and that you intend to engage with the community here and in the fediverse rather than simply making posts to your blog. You must be an active member of the community to have an account here and under the right circumstances we may allow links to your personal blog.

Please get back to me asap as this is a moderation issue.

@marathon Ahh well in that case... you uneducated heathen!

@marathon Unless you grew up in the 70s or before im not sure thre is much relationship between spelling and education. We all grew up using spell checkers, spelling serves no purpose anymore.

However if i instead had said "He harassed our users in mass" then THAT would be a gallacism.
