Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the "Quebecois" of your language?

Oh good! 😮💨
OP is asking what the English variations there are throughout the world.
Then why did she ask about Norwegian? Why did she say “of your language” rather than English? Why did she answer my question by saying she means dialects from the Americas?
I am curious if Jamaican Patois would count as a different language entirely
There’s no academic/formal definition of what counts as a different language rather than a variant. Then it gets politically contested: peoples who want to assert their separatedness claim their language is totally different (e.g. Ulster Scots). That’s one reason if you ask “How many languages are there in the world?”, linguists tell ya “Between 4000 and 8000”

Your post just asks what the Quebecois is, but you forget to say what it means to ‘be a Quebecois’

Similar experience here.
For context: Most of the Chinese people I know are urban, aged around 30. Different generations might be different.
Very hardworking ambitious culture, tends to be a lot of work-related anxiety, everyone really ambitious to get ahead, ehich is admirable in one way, but on the other hand… well you see the downsides yourself.
There’s the ‘996’ idea where people were working 9am to 9pm, six days a week, although I haven’t heard of that in the past few years.
Trade union membership isn’t a thing most people have on their radar at all; might be stats on internet about unionisation percentage.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Any interesting non violent protest ideas?
2·2 months agoIt’s got some good ➕➕ for propaganda:
- Can’t be peeled off like a sticker
- Can print at home, don’t need a print shop (it’s ordinary paper plus the wheatpaste)
- Quicker to throw up than graffiti; easier to wheatpaste 100 posters than write 100 graffiti
- It’ll be there longer than stickers
