Resetti's grammar tips

[silasthevillager]

It ain't "bob wire". It's "barbed wire". It's got barbs. It ain't got bobs! NO BOBS!
People don't drink "expresso." It's "espresso." "Expresso" ain't even a thing! Don't ya forget it!

They call it "cole" slaw, not "cold" slaw.

Ya know how sometimes you get to a point in a conversation where the whole thing's a "mute" point?
Well it ain't on mute! The point's "moot"! "MOOT"! Like a cow! Ya can't mute a cow!

Ya know when ya say somethin' happened 'cause some other thing caused it?
Like "I chalked up his resttin' ways to not knowin' the rules"... Ya ever hear that one before?
Notice how I said "chalk", not "chuck." That's 'cause I ain't throwin' nothin'. "Chuck" means "throw."

A really bad headache is called a "migraine," not a "mindgrain."
It's painful, but it ain't some fancy health food for your noggin!
BELIEVE ME; I'D KNOW!

When ya don't care 'bout somethin', ya "couldn't care less." If ya "could care less," that means ya still care.
It ain't that tough. "Couldn't care" means ya don't care. Stop carin' 'bout stuff ya don't care 'bout!

Ya don't get a "new leash on life." Ya get a "new lease." A "new lease" means you're excited 'bout livin'.
New leash? That means ya got a new pet or somethin'!

I love this little touch on Resetti. I'm impressed because the localizers probably had to come up with them from scratch.

lmao love it

Beautiful- I've been noticing these over time, but your thread is an excellent catch. lol

Great advice. Ignorance of the English language, or its insufficient knowledge, greatly complicates the situation not only in games but also in life. One mispronounced word can change the meaning of what you want to say. That's why you shouldn't underestimate it. I've always wanted to learn more languages because it's our way of communicating. I knew English, but not well enough. I needed to improve my grammar and pronunciation. This simple website, englishlinx.com, helped me boost, and improve my English. You need to improve constantly, and knowing one language perfectly is a good thing.

that expresso one

mole needs to play some donkey kong country

I play the game in Spanish and the things we get are obviously different, so this is the first time I see it in English!
Though, I find it ironic how much he cares about proper speaking when he goes on and on saying "Ya" instead of "you", or "ain't" instead of "isn't". I asure you, all my English teachers would have failed him

This is really another thing that I miss with New Horizons. I know Resetti really doesn't have that much of a use with the save features we have now, but it still would be a nice novelty to have him around anyway. The rescue service is pretty pointless in most cases, and I miss going into the reset center when it was randomly open. I guess I have to settle with having a Resetti model outside of my house for now. Hopefully they'll find a role for him in an update, though.

Lmao, I miss that angry mole sometimes. He probably thought I was dumb as a post in New Leaf with how many times I told him I can't remember why I reset.

You know...sometimes I just reset just so Resetti would pop up. Other than visiting him when the manhole was open you really didn't have many opportunities to interact with him or his brother very much.
