In 8th grade English on the first day of class we had to fill out a questionnaire about ourselves and one question was if we spoke any languages other than English, and I wrote Elvish. The teacher questioned me about this assertion and I said a bunch of Sindaran phrases to her

hobbit! now I have to get to the bottom of this, for several years now I heard "female is not a noun" left and right, (which it isn't and can never be in other languages), now I am lost. LOST! were they all telling me shit?

pavement tune when i said only a male i meant only a man. maybe it is wrong to equate the two. i don't know. i was just trying to poke fun at men, especially the big swaggering types that florida is overflowing with.

so the rule would be that the tone (sarcasm, ridiculing, whatever) does play a role in if you would choose "man" or "male"?
Say if I talk about my elementary teacher who I liked very much. I would say "that woman taught me that learning can be fun." but it would have a different tone if I'd say "that female taught me that learning is fun." is that it? |

interestingly, in merriam websters female is listed as a noun, but it is the second definite (the first is adjective), while for male it is the other way around.

yeah for me the word male invokes aggression, testosterone, dickishness, a lot more than man.

because I wonder if one would choose "male" or "female" as noun when you imply things that aren't all that positive.
say "the woman who helped me out at the store was a really nice person." vs "that female was a really nice person." (sounds off. but "those females over there look like they can't count to three" - sounds rude, but not that off.) or "I could listen to that man explain physics for hours." vs "that male the other day was just so full of shit." so in short, "man" or "woman" doesn't have any connotations, it's just a person. using "males" or "females" has connotations? |

yeah for sure. you are simplify them both. from a hetero male perspective, when you say male you mean that cocksure asshole. when you say female you mean someone who is defined by sexuality. so it's a way to put them down. that's why it's wrong to do it to women, and wonderful to do it to men.
hope that clears things up. |

I spoke too soon.
noooooooooo, can't you English speaking folks simplify this shit, a noun is a noun, an adjective is an adjective? woman isn't just a noun, either. I read it all the time but somehow never blinked. Quote:

fuck
holy christfuck this midterm is about to own my soul. check out the sentence patterns i am supposed to find:
First, match the sentences below to the correct patterns. A. PP - Vi - S - Vi B. S - VL - SC(PA) - PP - Vt - DO - OC C. S - Vi - PP - PP - PP - SubC - S - Vi D. S - Vi - PP - S - Vi - SubC - S - VL - SC(PA) E. S - Vi - PP - S - Vt - DO - PP F. PP - S - Vi - PP - Vt - DO - PP G. S - Vt - DO - PP - PP - S - Vt - DO H. S - Vt - DO - PP - PP - Vi - S - Vt - DO/SubC - S - Vt - IO - Do I. S - Vi - PP - SubC/S - Vi - PP J. PP - PP - S - PP - Vi - Vt - Vi - PP Here is a key to the abbreviations above: S – subject VL – linking verb Vi – verb, intransitive Vt – verb, transitive DO – direct object SC (PA) – subject complement, predicate adjective OC – object complement SubC – subordinate conjunction PP – prepositional phrase IO – indirect object Then identify the sentences as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex. |

get a load of this "simple" sentence:
Curled up on one of her pillows, a gray fluff of kitten yawned, showing its pink tongue, tucked its head under again, and went back to sleep. This is the pattern: Prep Phrase - Prep Phrase - Subject - Prep Phrase - Verb Intransitive - Verb Transitive - Verb Intransitive - Prep Phrase Curld up (PP) on one of her pillows, (PP) a gray fluff (S) of kitten (PP) yawned (Vi), showing its pink tongue, tucked (Vt) its head under again, and went back (Vi) to sleep. (PP) This shit split my skull. Fortunately this part of the exam is matching. |

because it is describing the subject, not receiving action through a verb. or something. don't ask me. i have no idea what's going on. for example, why isn't "showing it's pink tongue" labelled at all? or "its head under again"?
i matched all the rest of the sentences and then ended up with the answer for this one. that's how i know it fits. |

holy shit check out this madness:
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They can also modify verbals and complete clauses. Adverbs answer questions such as Where? When? How? Why? To what extent? Under what circumstances? Yesterday, to escape the boredom of summer vacation, John ran quickly across the field while juggling three balls. When did he run? Yesterday. How did he run? Quickly. Where did he run? Across the field (a prepositional phrase functioning as an adverb). How did he run? While juggling three balls (a verbal phrase functioning as an adverb). Why did he run? To escape the boredom of summer vacation (an infinitive phrase functioning as an adverb). Get it? |

I saw some parenting thing on FB that was written in broken english, it was pretty classic stuff.
