Lianna🇬🇧 Hey there!I'm <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/newHere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newHere</a> at the Localization Café. ☕I have been working as a freelancer for some time, translating and localising what mostly ends up being <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/videoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#videoGames</a>. My language pair is <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> and <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/German" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#German</a>. Outside my <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/freelancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freelancing</a> work, I am a <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> and <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/compLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compLing</a> student who is currently finishing up my dual degree.In the future I would like to work as an in-house localisation worker in the <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaming</a> industry; fingers crossed, since <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> is a difficult field to get into! :)

MinaEvery couple of days, my instance suggests me "Who to follow".Some of the suggestions are actually pretty good, but that's not my point, here.It's the phrase that irritates me.I'd rather expect "Whom to follow".Is it just me, or do other people feel the same (I'm not a native speaker, though)?<a href="https://berlin.social/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Language</a> <a href="https://berlin.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a>

Ross of OttawaFurther to earlier toots about words in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> architecture dependent on geography – it was only through years of hanging out with British friends that I realized their "garden" didn't actually mean a soil-turned, rows of flowers or veg. It was in fact just their "yard."We here may have a garden in our yard or maybe not. In UK/Aus it could be that people have no "garden" at all in their garden.Why isn't the London police HQ located at "Scotland Garden" though?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Language</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/words" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#words</a>

FOSStasticI'm pretty sure that people in the EU would also demand language laws if employers in France suddenly required everyone to work in German (most popular language in the EU) or if products in Croatia only had German labelling.The impression I got on the internet is that English-speaking Canadians often seem to have an imperialistic mindset that everyone should just live and work in English because it is what the majority speaks.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canada</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/english" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#english</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/french" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#french</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quebec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quebec</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/qu%C3%A9bec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#québec</a>

Unseen Japan45.8% of Japanese people in a recent survey said they have refused to speak with someone in English, with 76.5% citing a "lack of confidence."
