This is not actually all that interesting of a twist except for one line…

Wait till they hear about gay hitler

yuriy,

Dr. Gay Ludwig Hitler, born to George Washington Hitler

You can’t make this shit up, what a world

Adi2121,

The town he was in, Pickaway County, Ohio, has several things named Hitler something or other. All of them are related to this guys family, not the other one.

The worst part is not only he was born before those were offensive, but his last name wasn’t even meant to be hitler, it was a weird misspelling of hiedler or something similar.

yuriy,

it’s so much stupider, Adolf Hitler was the one with the misspelled name. his dad wanted to adopt his own stepfather’s family name, and misspelled it on the form.

you in Chinese is not pronounced like “you” in English. totally different vowel sound

SpaceNoodle,

So how’s it pronounced?

hddsx,

Kind of like yo

SpaceNoodle,

So their name is Yo-yo?

hddsx,

Not in the implied intonation. Chinese is a language where tone matters. So something like “hey” and “heyyyyyyyy” would be different words.

SpaceNoodle,

So how’s it pronounced?

hddsx,

Pronunciation includes tone. I suppose you could say that that’s the basis for the sound

SpaceNoodle,

So how’s it pronounced?

hddsx,

No, pronunciation in Chinese includes intonation

lugal,

This is true in all Chinese languages when spoken normally but Mandarin (unlike Cantonese) ignores tone in singing. Pretty sure the name is Mandarin

hddsx,

When people say Chinese, it’s almost implied to be Mandarin. You are correct in both singing and that I was referring to mandarin. Technically mandarin and canto are both dialects of Chinese. Mandarin is just the official dialect

lugal,

And since the post was about singing, your whole argument is flawed. Checkmate atheist

“You”, but in Chinese.

lugal,

Thanks for clarification!
