Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

That just means their dialect is wrong. Imprecise words exist in a lot of languages - like lacking unique words for pink and orange, or using the same weird to describe savory as meaty and delicious. Yeah umami I'm looking at you, anyone in the west who uses this word unironically is incorrect; the rest are just pretentious-sounding tools.
And I'll say it again; as America has the most native English speakers of any country in the world, and more than the next three countries combined (England is fifth on the list) by democratic default the way that WE define English it is the correct way.
