An English teacher proudly hates the English language: Insists that grammar and writing rules are based in white supremacy so she tries to undermine it in her classroom

That’s a good story - I like that. Kind of reminds me of when I was a kid (1990’s). There was no taint of hatred anywhere due to race or sex (not amongst us kids, anyway), and political correctness was still made fun of.

Talk about joy-sucking. Nothing is funny to those people unless it’s some expression of hate for someone they disagree with.

That is so true. Humor is an important coping mechanism for many things in life.

Can’t have any “coping” going on. Everyone has to be a “true believer” in some “thing”.

There is a funny segment from the Graham Norton show where Mila Kunis and other guests are discussing Russian. She is fluent and loves the Russian language, but they all, including her, think it hilarious when it is pointed out that it sounds like Klingon.

People are funny-both in the ways we do things right and wrong, the way we look and feel, both flattering and embarrassing, and the way we speak and act.

I tend to distrust and dislike people who are so uptight they can’t accept that.

Many years ago, we sent a letter to an Asian physician named Wong. I got a phone call directly from him, and he said it was regarding a patient who was not his, and completely deadpan, said “I think you sent it to the “wong” Wong.”

I nearly fell out of my chair! I never met him in person, but in my eyes, my estimation of him as a quality human being shot up in that simple one-minute conversation!

I respect that in a person, even when I have to struggle to laugh at myself sometimes...or maybe because I have to struggle at it...:)
