Quick English language tip for international SWeeps!
In "standard" English, questions are often formed using the word "do" in a way that doesn't seem to come naturally to English learners.
Here are some examples:
Non-standard: Why people like ice cream?
Standard: Why do people like ice cream?
Non-standard: Why you play so many video games?
Standard: [b]Why do you play so many video games?
[/b]
Non-standard: What "copacetic" means?
Standard: What does "copacetic" mean?
I am posting this because the non-standard variations are very common on SW and they always aggravate me; and I know I am not the only person who feels aggravated.
If you are not going to post in your own beautiful languages, but in English, the more standard your English, the less aggravating it will be to sensitive people like me 😂
You're welcome 🤓
