@ShadSterling@mastodon.social @komali_2@mastodon.social @itsfoss@mastodon.social It has to do with remapping the Caps Lock key (mentioned in the comment I was immediately responding to).

@komali_2@mastodon.social @ShadSterling@mastodon.social @itsfoss@mastodon.social I usually map caps lock to Compose key. Feels like a superpower.

@clauseggers@typo.social This seems a bit overstated; as Randy LaPolla points out in several works, spoken Mandarin still makes heavy use of parataxis, in a way that is hard for English speakers (or Western linguists) to get used to. But the author of the post makes a surprisingly good case for *written* Mandarin (and spoken Mandarin in higher registers) being syntactically Europeanised; and the wholesale replacement of native conceptual categories with Western ones is definitely something that happened.
