Meowdy pardner!
Yeah maybe not even non-standard as much as non-formal in this case.
I wanted to mean 'different from what you learn in English class in school as a kid' so non-formal, non -standard, dialectal, slang, misspellings, same-sounding words...
More or less my point, languages are weird with lots of arbitrary idiomatic things—'would rather' but 'had better'.
After posting the comment I've thought 'wait, it makes more sense for it to be should' so my guesses are a bit off today.
That'd be a contraction of 'would' in this case, wouldn't it? As an ESL speaker I used to find these grammar 'mistakes' (for lack of a better word) made more difficult for me to parse the sentences. As with code 'written once but read many times' would apply here.
You are right on the counting. Thanks for the correction! I must've read '-dia-' as a diphthong, I don't think I've ever said 'pediatrician' out loud until now. Still a haiku anyways.
And that tune, almost none of the haiku fit the melody! For singing you have to take into account the accents and on beats. Don't get me wrong I had a good chuckle and may or might not start doing it myself but as a rule of thumb to recognize (or gatekeep) haiku is not the best.
'Train of thought' lol the man's never had such a thing. Maybe hyperloop of thought.
Ha! You caught me! Well spotted!
But now seriously, I'll try to address your misconceptions:
That's not a haiku
It is.
it needs to be 5, 7, 5
Not really. That's like the definition for kids in school, simple but not 100% accurate. There's plenty of haiku with different metrics, even single syllable lines.
not 6, 7, 4
I count 5-7-4.
The separation of lines matter
Iirc in Japanese haiku are written in one line.
You are kind of right tho. I think it sounds better like 'He just kicked him out' but I was trying to making it just taking out words from the original post.
And how about a haiku?
Need pediatrician My son unvaccinated Just kicked him out
Yeah we should expect proof of this kind of claims, having to demand it only shows how low the bar is. But even IF they can prove it, and that's a big if, twelve people among such a massive organization would still be a nothingburger unless they've infiltrated the highest ranks.
I meant 'collaborate' as in having talks or meetings, paying a 'tax', playing by their rules... nothing that leaves much of a record.
'Ties with militant groups' is vague enough so many people will read 'on the terrorists' payroll'. And on time some 'proof' like phone calls, pictures in the same place with a 'militant group' member, or handing them some material aid, going to the same mosquee...
The thing is unless they're able to articulate more concrete accusations I wouldn't even ask for proof, proof of what? I mean I have a bunch of cousins I barely met when I was a child, and no clue what they've been up to these ~30 years... I might have some 'ties' to 'militant groups' too, who knows?
Or the pg tips approach: 'd'ya know what? No more tag or thread for ya now you've got to fish and pinch the baggy out of your scolding tea ya wanker'.
