The person you are responding to is not arguing in good faith. I was going to say don't feed the troll but maybe it's better to refute the BS so unsuspecting people don't read them thinking they are correct.

I think you are misreading the article or article summary. It is the states where LGBTQ rights are being restricted that have more hate crimes.

The US Congress is legislative branch. Congress is divided into the Senate and House of Representatives.

What makes it confusing is that representatives are also referred to as "congressman" but senators are onky called senators. Despite both being members of Congress.

I find that people generally use "this" and "next" correctly but it depends how the week is being perceived. I think it might depend what day of the week it currently is. Like if it's Sunday, someone might say "next Saturday" to mean the first coming Saturday. But if someone says "next Saturday" on a Thursday they definitely mean the second coming Saturday.

Yeah. Roughly $90 a week in groceries gets me 21 meals + snacks... Not 5 meals.

He's right. Just not in the way he means.

Goggle translate doesn't have Louisiana Creole since there is only 10k speakers. Haitian Creole is actually the only Creole language it has. Probably because there are 12 million speakers and they have a decent population in the US.

I don't know why you call me lazy for not doing hours of research for a quick comment letting you know 2 languages are different. I didn't say that they weren't similar. They are distinct. Especially in writing the differences would be obvious due to spelling differences to words that are pronounced similarly. I found some Louisiana Creole online to show you the difference:

English: Where do you come from?
Louisiana Creole: Éyou to sòr?
Haitian Creole: Ki kote ou soti?

English: What did you say?
Louisiana Creole: Ki ça to di?
Haitian Creole: Kisa ou te di?

Some things are very similar and some things are very different. But especially when written, they are obviously distinct.

Well I don't know. I actually recognized it hat you wrote as probably being Haitian Creole but I had to double check with a translator. I don't speak Louisiana Creole and Wikipedia says there is only 10,000 speakers.

I saw your Creole response and was wondering why someone would respond to an English post in Creole and went to your profile to see if you were Haitian. Then I realized your joke lol

Haitian Creole is not the same as Louisiana Creole. Just fyi
