YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable numeric date format and should be the standard taught in schools.

Microphone is shorted to “mic” not “mike”.

If it doesn’t function as a downspout, then it’s a grotesque, not a gargoyle.

Understanding an argument doesn’t mean you agree with it.

• Adding fries to a dish in a (good) restaurant means you didn’t make a complete dish and just added the fries to add carbs/fill people.

• On that same note: just a piece of meat (steak, spareribs or smth like that) is not a full meal (and don’t you start about adding fries and a salad)

• a restaurant is only as good as its vegetarian dishes (some exceptions apply, like restaurants that focus exclusively on meat)

Ironically, I am not a vegetarian ;)

We should continue to gently correct spelling and grammar mistakes online.

No one would ever make fun of British food again if the Anglosphere was more aware of Dutch food.

The calendar should be 13 4-week months that always end on Sunday.

The leftover day should be considered a worldwide holiday.

Any time there is a leap year situation, all that time gets added to this one day, like the injury time at the end of a soccer/football match.

Good french fries don’t need ketchup

Vehicle mileage is an antiquated and terrible metric for tracking vehicle health. Engine hours and heat cycles are more accurate.

People who cannot return a shopping cart to a proper location should not be able to use said shopping cart.

Pineapple on pizza is great. Here in Poland we call it havaii pizza

The word is “yeah”.

Not “yea”.

The later rhymes with “yay” and means something similar to but distinct from "yes’

Similarly it is yea/nay not yay/nay.

And fuck English for making the incorrect more logical and consistent. Lol

I have very suddenly started hearing a strange quirk of grammar that needs to die in a fire. I’m going to write it on an index card and burn the index card.

I swear I haven’t heard this before the 2020s: “My kitchen needs cleaned.” Not “My kitchen needs to be cleaned”, not “my kitchen needs cleaning.”

Explain to someone ESL that “My kitchen needs cleaned” has two verbs in it, one is present tense, one is past tense, combined they imply a future action. AAAH!

In German I deliberately write the word “Standard” (same meaning as the English “standard”) with “t” at the end: “Standart”. Likewise all words that have it as a stem, such as “standartmäßig” or “Standartabweichung” (“according to standard”, “standard deviation”).

The reason:
Etymologically (although contested), “Standard” developed from the Old Low Franconian (Old Dutch) compound “standhard” just as in “stand + hard”, meaning “standing firm” or “steadfast” (like your morning wood :D ).
The other, contesting, etymology derives it from the Old French “estendre”: such as in “extend”.

However, while the particle “hard” became “hart” in modern German, officially, “Standard” still has to be written with the “d”. Thus, writing “Standart” with “t” is my silent rebellion against logical inconsistencies in languages.

In English I don’t care, because “hard” is still written with “d”, therefore “standard” is absolutely fine for me here.

Funnily, some dictionaries, e.g. DWDS, declare “Standart” a common orthographic mistake.

But I will keep writing “Standart”, until “Standart” becomes the new ‘Standart’. ;)

Edit:
I just remembered a second reason:
In German “Standard” is usually even pronounced with the harder “t”. Nobody says “Standard” with the soft “d” as it is usual in English. Same thing with “hart”. So even more reason to update the German ‘Standard’ to ‘Standart’.
