So what’s where correct? And what else to consider at your (English speaking) place?

Consider:

  • I want that.
  • I want this, too.
  • I want the same.

I’m asking this (and that) since I participated a discussion with only native speakers and it crushed me. Apparently I am the worst English speaker anywhere.

Teach me things, Lemmy. Pleeaase!

Post scriptum: You may prepend your comment with a common, international country code to don’t fuck with me too hard.

  • Call me Lenny/Leni@lemm.ee

    I’m not sure if I would qualify as the demographic you seem to anticipate. I am an ethnic Pacific Islander with a Kiwi accent currently in Vermont whose family comes from a place with what may be referred to as an English pidgin, and I’m told a combination of hypergraphia, selective mutism, and overall neurodivergence affects the linguistic experience as well. I would probably hold the title for the person with the worst communicative experiences here, yet at the same time might be able to bestow some help upon you, if that’s alright with you.
