ALERT

our russophobia is not enough.

HA mobile application opens up a notify service that I use to send notifications specifically on my mobile device HA application.

yes. the bidet when you poop at home, and an enema when you are not at home.

solved pooping for myself using an enema twenty years ago. not a single trouble, I poop whenever I want, and I do it in 40 seconds maximum. sprinkle ~70ml of water, blow out, rinse the butt, done.

this ballistic missile was taken out during heavy lightning and thunder. I didn’t even distinguish the explosion from the actual thunder, but it was so “close”=“loud”, that two of my cats sleeping in the bed with me jumped half a meter in the air lol :D

it’s hard to replicate, has high upkeep, big authors’ community. it seems YouTube deserves to be paid despite all the negativity towards it.

2 crashes during 24 minutes of playtime. refunded.

so “a” is universal for clock, but “the” is universal for doctor :D

how about “going to the doctor”? :D

The second example is quite good imo. You would never say “I’m going to a bathroom.” Even if you were in a stadium with hundreds of bathrooms, you would still say you are going to the bathroom.

you are justifying this statement “because of reasons” :) this is not a logical explanation. there are a bunch of bathrooms in the world. Am I going to the one specific that was mentioned before in the context? then it’s “to the bathroom”. is this bathroom just a random one that I will encounter on my way? then why not “to a bathroom”?

same with trains: even if you are speaking about a train route with a specific number, you are not talking about a specific train, then it should be “I’ll be taking a train”. if you are going to take the specific locomotive for a ride in a museum, then, obviously, you are going to take “the train”. this sounds logical for the usage of Articles in the English language, at least in my head.

same with doctors: if you are going to a specific doctor, and your opponent knows which one by the context, then it should be “to the doctor”, otherwise it would be a random doctor that will be assigned to you as soon as you arrive to the clinic, it cannot be “the doctor” by the same principle I always thought exists :)

I’m not even talking about the option of using a subject without an article, like in Ukrainian. “I’m going to bathroom”. if I wanted to say which one, I would have stated it, but as soon as I am going to pee in a random bathroom I find, why can’t it be just “I’m going to bathroom”? :D yeah, now it sounds like a verb :D

whoa, another meaningless “the” appeared. “The English Language” phrasing is used despite there are at least four? five? English languages.

so… it’s complicated :D but this does not prevent English from being The Language of the World, and I cannot name a language that could have been on its place.

:) no, it’s not, because for people to understand you you don’t need to grasp 75% of the concepts of the English language, and IMO, this is the measure of “pain in the ass” of a language. so still not even half as complicated as Ukrainian and not even half a pain in the ass as Ukrainian :)

Ukrainian here. IMO, the first statement is half-stupid, the second one is half-overcomplicated :) no offense to you personally, of course. I understand the whole concept of articles in English and know (at least I thought I knew before this post) their correct usage, and in all use cases I can remember the article uses are logically acceptable for a foreigner, but this one with the mirror and the bathroom is messed up a bit :)

almost exactly half a buck worth :) 40 ₴ = 1$
