I think maybe /u/BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world would be the best person round these parts to write a sovcit to sane person dictionary, as much as it’s even possible (because I’m fairly sure a lot of things can’t even be translated).
Like what the hell is “Without prejudice” supposed to mean here? I know what either of the words alone mean, but I have no idea what THEY mean by prejudice. Other than that, this one seems to be one of the more understandable posts as far as use of language is concerned.
This would be a great plot point to some novel or movie that someone could write.
Some post apocalyptic society of people who are trying to survive in a new world run into a community of people that speak this strange foreign language. The lost survivors can understand individual words but the meanings or associations to all those words have been lost and now mean new things that can no longer be understood.
Is that not already the case?
