So I was reading the Non-coginitivism page on wikipedia, and I had a question regarding Emotivism and Universal Prescriptivism. It seems to me that Universal Prescriptivism is simply Emotivism that has been universalized and formed as a command rather than a statement.
Is UP simply a subset of Emotivism?
| These words which sound vaguely similar and which cover a vaguely similar range of concepts prove that languages A and B are related/there was contact between A-speakers and B-speakers in ancient times/A-speakers are descended from B-speakers! | Loanwords in English from non-European languages have been "stolen" from their source languages | Language X has these "weird" phonological traits because the environment where X-speakers live affects their physiology so much that they are prone to making/not making certain sounds! | It's cultural appropriation/racist if White English speakers adopt dialectal words/phrases from variants of English originating from/associated with non-White communities! | Supposed etymologies of "COVID-19" which claim that it is derived from anything other than "Coronavirus Disease 2019" |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X was the first language/all other languages originate from X | It's cultural appropriation/racist if you don't pronounce loanwords from non-European languages as they are pronounced in the source language! | Modern Hebrew is a conlang (extension: So-called "cognates" between Hebrew and Arabic are actually words that have been "stolen" from Arabic!) | Non-RP (or non-General-American, depending on who's speaking) dialects of English aren't "real English" | Manipulating these English words/phrases uncovers mysteries about the true workings of the universe/what the government doesn't want you to know! |
| Languages spoken by "primitive" cultures are static, and may possibly be Proto-World. Clearly, these languages must have remained constant since the first humans settled those areas! | The more conservative a language is with respect to sound changes and semantic shifts, the better it is. | Prescriptivism | Textspeak/Internet-speak is "killing English" | Certain phonological/syntactic features make certain languages "primitive" (esp. monosyllabic, reduplication to make plurals, fewer phonemes than English) |
| All hanzi are pictographs (extension: "this is why the Chinese mind is so strategic/primitive!") | My native language, in which I am monolingual, happens to be objectively the best and easiest language. | Language X is objectively the most difficult language to learn! | Loanwords degrade the purity of a language! (a variant: I, a monolingual English speaker, think it's so sad that the beautiful languages of the exotic natives are being corrupted by loanwords!) | Most, if not all, attempts at grouping language families that have been established for some time |
So I just learned about this in one of my subjects during my first year of college. The Gabay sa Ispeling is basically a guide on the standardization of spellings as well as some grammar points in the Filipino language. This was issued by the KWF.
I was wondering if people are made aware of this. I asked some of my friends from different courses and universities, and they've never heard about this.
I have to admit that this guide actually helped me sharpen my writing skills in Filipino.
I've also seen some comments saying that this guide is prescriptivism and does not reflect the reality of the current use of the language.
I was wondering what are your thoughts about this?
Edit: Added a link to the document.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Gender is fluid.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
But let me give it a shot.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
