Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: Opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac. It’s an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. (The Elements of Eloquence) Mind blown. :)

I was really interested in hearing about Johnny Cash's pronunciation of "when." I was in grade school in the mid 1950s, and we were specifically taught to pronounce the "wh" combination of letters as if the letters were arranged "hw" - aspirating the "h." (I still do it, and it's especially noticeable if I'm repeating the news reporter's mantra of "Who, What, Where, When and Why."

The Selena situation is a peculiar one. The family wanted to get this done as soon as possible. The movie is mostly highlights of her life through a rose-colored filter. Thousands of young women who really resembled Selena auditioned for the role. Jeniffer Lopez was cast based on being on her experience as an actress-albeit limited at the time, and her ability to dance. She looks nothing like Selena, but I shudder to think how much worse it would have been had a complete unknown been cast in her stead.

It's one thing to make an artistic choice for a fictional character but in a biographical story it's deliberate misrepresentation. He actually portrait OJs character in a "better" light even though the other actors went for a accurate representaion of their roles. Makes no sense

Let's assume for a second that he is innocent: the whole thing would be nightmarish at first, but don't you think that after a while the guy would be really tired and annoyed of being in jail, having the press climbing up his ass, constant rehearsals with his layers and attending several hours long court proccedings and interviews?

As a French person who became fluent in English only in my 20s, I realized the importance of original voice acting in actors' performances, and how Dubbing movies (which is extremely common in France) is litterally destroying 50% of the actor's efforts when they impersonate historical figures. It's remarkable, really. I love languages

Props to you. I am Brazilian and started learning English as a young child, but it's still not as good as I would like it to be I want to be more eloquent in both my native language and English, and to do that I need to have a big vocabulary and use less slang. I will be 22 this year. Learning a language is a lifelong process. Here we have excellent voice actors, but they don't really put an effort with accents except in rare cases. I like how they change the jokes and puns so they make more sense to us. That being said, if you're watching a biopic, chances are you will use subtitles and listen to the original audio. I prefer to watch cartoons dubbed, the rest I'll use subtitles. I'll only watch dubbed films if it's something unimportant, like a cheap comedy.

Here (Greece) dubbing is not really as widespread as it is in a lot of other European countries. Generally, anything that is aimed towards children (or even all ages sometimes) is dubbed, and anything that is aimed towards adults is just subbed. Of course, there are exceptions to this (for example, the TV series Gotham has a Greek dub available)

@slome815

@@marianmeletlidiscrap It all depends on population. Here in Belgium (flanders), and the netherlands, subtitles are the norm for everything except children TV and movies. The dutch speaking population is just too small for dubs. I'm thankfull for this, it really has made me used to watching stuff in the original language, and very few dubs are well done anyway. Especially in TV interviews dubbing really bothers me, I think that when it's the news, subs should really be the norm everywhere. It does make it weird for many of us to see the adverse reaction many people have to subtitles, we're all just so used to it.
