I'm sad no one else has found any language memes besides you
...myself included!
this time it was from twitter (https://twitter.com/ShabanaMir1/status/1296245586933485568)

When inventing new pronouns was fashionable a couple years ago, one of the "you're a shit if you don't use this when I'm not around" pronouns was "thon". ... that's "tuna fish" in French. People were insisting I was a bad person if I didn't call them a tuna fish instead of a man, woman, or other.

(https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/funny-german-language-jokes-30-5899c9d29bd18__700.jpg) Sechs is german for six and sound almost like sex. Vier means four in german and sounds like fear. And fünf is german for five.

Honestly, I don't mind if you revert all of my edits, delete my articles, and ban me from the wiki for good. I've already found out that my "contributions" have angered countless people, and to me that's all the devastation I can be given, after years of my thinking I was doing good (and yes, obsessively editing, I have OCD). I was only a 12-year-old kid when I started, and sometimes when you start something young, you can't see that the habit you've developed is unhealthy and unhelpful as you get older. I don't care about defending myself, I only want to stop being harassed on my social medias (and to stop my other friends who have nothing to do with the wiki from being harassed as well). Whether peace can by scowiki being kept like it is or extensively reformed to wipe my influence from it makes no difference to me now that I know that I've done no good anyway. --AmaryllisGardener

> words weren't meant to be gendered
but that's in Latin, north African, Hindi, Slavic, Georgian, Vietnamese... not just Germanic. Hell, Polish has five genders, and I think Swahili has eighteen.
> no use found for Umlauts.
English uses umlauts -- for when two vowels are adjacent and should not be pronounced as a glide. I.E. naïve
