Honestly, I don’t think the second one is a mess (except punctuation). I think it just conveys - or at least suggests - that something out of the ordinary is happening. It takes mundane things and makes you question them, given the extra attention given to the normal things like a name or place. Sounds like John maybe isn’t his real name and maybe he’s going to this store for something other than groceries.

Adding my experience in Japan real quick, this is a bit more likely to be the case in huge cities like Tokyo, but the majority of Japanese folks I interacted with in Tokyo and Kyoto had an understanding of English the same way you would if you took Spanish all through highschool (or whatever your local equivalent to this analogy is). They could sort of understand very basic phrases, but I wouldn’t expect a conversational grasp.

I think it depends on the person you’re speaking to and how good they are at understanding accents. Because that’s essentially what you are describing. When someone says a word in English using pronunciation guidelines from their native language, you hear that as an accent. The same would be true here, even though the words are loan words. They are used to hearing it through their own pronunciation guidelines, so it might take them a while to decipher it.

Wild assertion that these are semi-famous with only just over 4k views on the original post. And on DA in 2021 no less. I’ve seen no name YouTubers with higher subscriber counts.

  1. Always err on the side of scepticism when reading things online, especially when those things assert themselves as truth.

Would you kindly answer this yourself?

A man determines his own answers, the parasite seeks forums.

Sins like what though? Do you need the threat of eternal punishment to be a good person or keep from killing someone?
