in english i'm always a little uncertain whenever i put the same word twice in a row whether my grammar is right... in french there's just vous vous all over the shop
@candle true but in school when writing essays or fictions repetitions were considered like the Devil whereas english seems more chill about that
@sempervirenx oh interesting! so those verbs were avoided altogether?
@sempervirenx @candle Haha, that FUN AND HAPPY moment when you realize your painfully composed essay uses three times the same word within the same paragraph … "what synonym could i use, THIS is what i wanted to say! … Maybe if i cut this entire sentence and put this part after that instead, i can avoid restating it… T.T"
@Louvelune @candle yeah I feel u this is the worst, why is french so mean with repetitions come on they're not evil
@candle not but we were told to use synonyms instead (but they have different connotations so it was tricky sometimes)
Texts with a lot of repetitions is still considered lazy unless it has a purpose
