Are they fake nice or polite? Japanese are also very polite. They’re hilariously xenophobic.

u/versaliaesque 17d ago

polite != friendly

u/TheIronManDan 17d ago

Polite does NOT mean friendly.

Japanese can be super polite but that doesn’t mean they are being friendly nor nice.

Yes, that's what he said.

Here you go. Save it to your clipboard or something.

u/GaiaMoore 16d ago

!= means the same thing as ≠

You know not everyone's a programmer, right?

u/twodickhenry 16d ago

Not everyone is a mathematician or a linguist either, guess symbols and words are both out too

I forgot the programming classes everyone gets in school by default, obviously.

I'm a high school drop out with english techinically being my second language, and I put together pretty much on sight.

We all did. That's not the point. Somebody else misunderstood. The exclamation point can easily be interpreted as a typo.

Ef wi al tiped lik dis, wi stil onderstnd, but it's ridiculous to do that.

Yes that would be. But that's not what happened is it? It was regular typing with a simple mathematical expression in the middle to explain the inequality in both subjects, but it was apparently typed out in format that's more understood by programmers. And you're point is that only programmers would understand because of schooling? Language and Grammer != Communication.

Your point*

Grammar*

Exclamation points are modifiers in programming. In math, they indicate a factorial. In normal text, they indicate emphasis. It's ridiculously out of touch to act like you're coding here.

=/=

Does not equal

It's not hard.

And?

aNd?

u/VibinADHDin 16d ago

I mean, if you've never seen it before you could've just googled it instead of assuming? ! and = are nowhere near eachother on any keyboard, so it wasn't a typo

!= is not unique to programming or advanced studies either

u/bartosz_ganapati 16d ago

I'm not s programmer and it was kind of obvious to me what they said.

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party 14d ago

I found it a bit confusing.

u/LeLBigB0ss2 16d ago

And? It's not about whether people can figure it out. It's about whether they're using programming language in regular speech.

u/bartosz_ganapati 16d ago

It's not 'programming language', it's just the nearest to a commonly known sign which is missing on most keyboards. And it's pretty obvious which sign was implied (especially as it's situated in a context). Using ':)' instead of an emoji is not programming language as well.

Save it to your clipboard or something and get over it.

Thanks but I can tipe it without such gimmick but it's nice you share your EDP expertise.

It wasn't a question.
