I’ll be a bore, but this is just printed on a black and white printer. This is not a sticker.

but it sticks, cuz it’s sticky, it’s a sticker

Slow,

I’m not sure. Perhaps the paper was simply glued with glue.

Aremel,

Does the application of glue to paper not make that paper a sticker?

Slow,

I’m not an english speaker. In my region, a sticker is considered to be paper that initially has a sticky layer. The paper that needs to be glued with glue from a tube is just paper.

You can absolutely call a glued paper which made to look as a sticker and glued to the surface a sticker.

Pothetato,
@Pothetato@lemmy.world avatar

You can but you’d be wrong. I hereby declare that a sticker is defined as having a back layer that you easily peel off, exposing the adhesive, before applying. If you create something to that effect, sticker. Otherwise, it’s just glued on paper.

ZagamTheVile,

K. But the person applying glue to paper and setting said paper would then be called a sticker. And the way language works, in a generation or two, the word sticker will then reference that glue-paper arrangement.

If he manages to apply an easy removable layer to the gluey part, then the person will be holding a sticker in his hands.

It’s all about being able to carry it around without it sticking anywhere, but also just to stick it anywhere you like, after easily removing said layer.

Slow,

In my language it will sound like “Sticked advertisement” or “Sticked piece of paper”. A sticker is a paper with a sticky layer that is applied to this paper at the factory. I’m just talking about the difference in languages.

Halosheep,

What if I remove the sticker (without tearing it somehow) and then reapply it with glue? Is it still a sticker?

Clearly not, it’s a glueer!

Slow,

Interesting question. Typically, advertisers use cheap glue, which makes it impossible to carefully peel off the advertisement. The paper will definitely tear. However, if the paper has a polyethylene base and a special type of glue is used, then I think such an advertisement can be peeled off and called a sticker.
I just haven’t heard of anyone peeling off advertisements and sticking them back.

Lophostemon,

What if I make a small collection of larger twig-type tree detritus, and glue it to a surface?

Note; is not the person who applies aforementioned adhesive label also a ‘sticker’ due to performance of said act?

Slow,

You are right about something. The one who sticks advertisements and earns money from this is called a derivative word from the word “Sticker”. In english it would be something like “Stickers boy”. I don’t know how to translate this any other way.

Pothetato,
@Pothetato@lemmy.world avatar

That’s called art. And the person applying actual stickers is obviously a stickermaster.

Pinklink,

All stickers initially didn’t have a sticky layer, then had one applied.

Aremel,

You are right, I am just being pedantic.

Franzia,

This is true to how it works in american English, yeah.

bdonvr,

A piece of paper that sticks to something is a sticker.

Blue_Morpho,

A piece of paper that sticks to most things is a sticker. Because toilet paper will stick to damp things despite not being a sticker.

TseseJuer,

They’re all face-up with the lighting from the right.

If I try to see them as face down they become distorted. The lighting is wrong.

The word “tortoise” comes from Tartarus, i.e., Hell, because the ancient Greeks at one point thought that tortoises came from there.

TheEntity, in new rule

ps aux | grep vim | grep -v grep

cheet,

How’d you get my shell history?

rockSlayer,

I don’t know what exactly this will do, but I know enough about the terminal to get the feeling this is a bad idea

TheEntity,

It searches for a process named vim using grep (which searches within provided lines), but since grep vim also contains vim, we then exclude grep too, so only the actual vim process gets found without the grep vim process. Sounds a lot like this post, doesn't it?

rockSlayer,

Well that’s anticlimactic. Here I thought grep would continuously ping ps aux and softlock the terminal or something

No, the L is silent. Thank the French for that.

Samon, really?

Geuss I ain’t ever gonna pronounce this damn language correctly . You can’t blame this on French tho because in that language it’s saumon pronounced somon. They didn’t drop a consonant in the middle of the word.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

The word comes ultimately from the Latin salmon, but we got it by way of French, as we did with so many other food words. The French, as was their wont, had swallowed up the Latin L in their pronunciation, so by the time we English borrowed the word, it was saumon, no L in the spelling and so no L in the pronunciation.

…blogspot.com/…/the-l-in-salmon.html

True, we kept the L, but we got the pronunciation from them.

Diabolo96,

Pronouncing the word based on how another language says it is strange to say the least. Imagine if train had the same treatment. In French it’s a short tr-un instead of English tr-ayn.

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Pronouncing the word based on how another language says it

French influence on English is rather unique in this regard. French was the language of the upper class, so an effort was made for English to sound more French when possible.

My favorite example of how this has carried into modern day is the expressions “cordial reception” and “hearty welcome.” They both effectively mean the same thing, but the first, which is latin-derived, sounds fancy, while the second, which is germanic-derived, sounds more informal.

Diabolo96,

I know this but didn’t fully apprehend how deep the affect was.

If I ever visit an English speaking country I’ll have to remember to say half the words in French to sound very haut class. Lol

samus12345, (edited )
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

It hasn’t been this way for hundreds of years, so you’ll most likely just confuse people! Unless you’re in Canada, maybe.

Brekky,

You mean they swa’ed up the letter? ;)

Edit: Looked it up, the French word is actually “saumon”. The L in the English word probably isn’t from French.

So no, the L isn’t, but the pronunciation is.

Ultraviolet,

No, but you do pronounce it in salmonella. English is not a language governed by logic.

TheCheddarCheese,
@TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world avatar

you do? i always said it without the l

Uncle_Bagel,

I think it’s optional in “salmonella”. I was a biology student in college and heard both pronunciations all the time.

HipHoboHarold, in Inspired by real events

A shit post about shit. Nice.

brown567, in What the hell! Let's all just go crazy!

Just as long as I can simultaneously drop the’l’ sound from salmonella
