Hi Fediverse!👋 We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. 🇪🇺

We believe in digital sovereignty, transparency, and putting people before platforms. Sound familiar? That's precisely why we're here.

We're not just looking for another channel to broadcast on. We chose this space because it reflects what we stand for: open, decentralised, and community-driven. We want to be part of this, not just present on it.

@PetitPas @borisschapira ouah, c'est beau comme faux ami ! 😳😂 En effet le sens médical était déjà familier, mais l'usage figuratif est.. surprenant. Merci pour cela.
@borisschapira @PetitPas ah, aide-moi avec "sanguine" si tu veux bien – je suis anglophone de naissance et je connais bien le sens en anglais mais, à priori, pas en français. Comment ça s'utilise en français, s.t.p. ?
@PetitPas It wouldn't make sense to say "Normally there are 19 students" because normally=usually and there is no established routine on the first day of class.

@PetitPas et "normally", qui n'a pas le même usage que "normalement".. ?

"Normally" a toujours strictement le sens de "d'habitude, habituellement", contrairement à "normalement" qui s'utilise souvent avec le sens "selon mes attentes, selon les infos que j'ai".

ex. dans une nouvelle classe, pendant que tout le monde arrive, quelqu'un demande au prof, "on sera combien dans la classe?" Le prof regarde sa liste d'appel et dit, "Normalement vous êtes 19".

@PetitPas faut pas oublier:

actually = en fait (pareil avec "actual", rien à voir avec "currently")
eventually = in the end

Si on dit "she'll get here eventually" ça veut dire qu'il n'y pas la moindre doute qu'elle arrivera, c'est juste qu'elle arrivera plus tard que prévu.

I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it. The Facebook post itself was an AI summary of a user post - which AI had also misinterpreted. The result is the Google answer was just total bollocks.

10/10 no notes.
