Exactly my thought when i saw this post
We started with a fairly chill summer in July/early August, but now we have summer temps expanding into October

We actually have the same issue with our « quotes » and accentuated capital letters in French, so « l’État » sometimes becomes “l’Etat”.

Yeah, there are quite a lot of exceptions but “-e is female, otherwise is male” works most of the time. Then if you want to be more precise you can remember some generic exceptions like -age, -isme are male and -tion, -té is female. You’ll still have some exceptions like une souris, une vis, une dent, un câble, un graphe, un cône, une image (exception to the exception) but it probably works in about 80-90% of cases.
(Also “icône” is actually female in French)
In French we have a similar problem. Currently the most popular form is “citoyen.ne.s” or “citoyen.nes” (besides the good old “citoyens” or “citoyennes et citoyens”), which sometimes gets rendered as a website by some text displayers (e.g. les habitant.es). It’s technically supposed to be a middle dot (citoyen·ne·s) but nobody has that on their keyboard (I literally had to copy-paste it from wikipedia) so people use the point instead. We used to use parentheses like “citoyen(ne)s” but these have vastly be replaced by the dots.
This is the same in french, the gender of words is generally determined by their ending. (Which is not pronounced.)
In 10 years the poop post will be up there remembered as one of the legendary old asklemmy posts
There might have been a misunderstanding. I understood “district” as in congressional districts as that’s usually what it means in the context of US election. Here in France we also have several “voting desks” (bureau de vote) in the same building, but I didn’t know these were also called districts in English
three districts use that building
Uhh what ? That sounds like a lot of people in the same voting building
I mean looking at the other numbers on the map, the eastern countries generally seem to have much lower outside-marriage birth rates yet east Germany has higher rates than the west. I’d have expected closer numbers to e.g. Poland in east Germany and closer to France/Belgium/Netherlands in the west.
The data may not count for these others kind of recognized unions, and only account for that Catholic union
Well the legend of the map says “% of live births outside marriage or civil partnership”.
This is not what I would have expected given the general tendency seems to be “eastern block = less”. Curious about why this is reversed in Germany (and Bulgaria apparently).
I think theperson you’re replying to was making a joke off the misspelling of “terrawatts” in OP.
