  • Yeah that’s what I was thinking. That they were using stalls to do makeup. I supposed I can chock this up to my application of Mens public restroom culture (in the USA) where you try not to make eye contact and avoid one another. This led me to think that crowding around the mirror would be an uncomfortable experience for everyone involved. Hence, the stall being a more private place would be more comfortable with a pocket mirror or something but hey live and learn lmao




  • I think you guys are fighting about different things; you need to have a unified definition of grammar.

    One is saying that without some rules on how the words relate to one another we couldn’t convey our meaning.

    The other is saying that grammar, I think perhaps “proper grammar” is made up by humans, and so doesn’t have any intrinsic worth compared with something else made up by humans.

    Both are correct, the important thing is that whichever grammar we collectively decide on. Intrinsically worthless or not, we need to have some unified definition, codified or not, so that we have the necessary degree of specificity for a given situation to transfer information between parties.
