If you think "pronouns are confusing" wait until you find out about

    Pronouns are too hard for me, which is why I can't even begin to master proper nouns. Like you expect me to memorize a unique word for every single person? Fuck off.

    Where does this insanity end? If I have to call each person a different noun, how is that not a slippery slope to calling places different things? Political correctness gone mad!

    My favorite part of the CHUD attempt to comprehend modernity:

    "I'm not some liberal, I will never use pronouns"

      It's an adjective modified to describe a verb. So the adjective would be quick and the adverb would be quickly for example

        Or modifies another adverb :galaxy-brain:

            I'm guessing something like "she ran less quickly." Less modifies quickly, which is an adverb. So less would therefore also be an adverb, not an adjective, since adjectives modify nouns or other adjectives.

              Also adverbs can be used on adjectives like in 'she is very tall'. So I think less is maybe still an adjective here?

                maybe! I'm sort of guessing here based on what other people have said.

                  Turns out very and tall both count as adverbs. They actually carry a lot more weight than I thought.
