Coordinated Universal Time in French is Temps Universel Coordonee (give or take an accent). So that should be TUC. I don't think there's any language in which UTC stands for anything. It's a fake acronym.
The problem with English is that you have to plan out the whole noun phrase in your head before you start talking. Not only do the adjectives have to come first, they have to be in the right order. With Romance languages you can just say the noun and then keep tacking on adjectives as they occur to you.
>Oddly, languages either have the exact same ordering as English, or the exact opposite as English. And, nouns in various languages fall in some designated position between the string of adjectives -- in English it's at the end, in Romance languages it's somewhere in the middle, such that most adjectives follow the noun, but certain adjectives precede
Well yeah, the adjective order is actually mostly semantic, and tracks something similar to intensivity. Varying adjective order is not normally a grammatical error per se, it's emphatic (though emphasizing the wrong thing is a pragmatic error).
But in Romance languages you have to plan out very complex sentences. I mean, you don't have to, but it's what people do.
The real answer is that deeply learning grammar as a child makes you think in grammatically correct ways to begin with, which means that when you start vocalizing a sentence, it's already queued up in grammatically correct form or very close to it. This is why we should teach children grammar grammar grammar and almost nothing but grammar, using poetry for memorization, reading to expose them to grammatically-correct texts, and writing to drive grammar home. And some 'rithmetic.
I am a native speaker, which means that I didn't realise that british english isn't actively taught. Like we aren't taught grammar in any particular way (apart from I before E, except after C, which is mostly bollocks, because it depends on the origin of the word. [their for example.])
Basically we are dipped in the language and we either succeed, or in my case dumped in remediation. (I can't spell for shit)
I didn't realise this until I was learning another language as an adult. They were usings terms like "present continuous, reflexives, compound verbs, etc" None of which I knew the practical meaning of.
Teaching a child to read, again you just realise that basically its 5 different languages smeared together, with shit all rules. Syntax, yeah we have some, but no native speak can explain the rules. (we have adjective ordering , but I don't know what it is, I can only tell you if you've got it wrong.)
That one's even odder - that's the compromise between the English version, which would be CUT and the French version which would be TUC ... i.e. none of the above.
TUC is a brand of crackers well-known in France, so maybe that’s why they didn’t insist on the French version. And CUT obviously didn’t make the cut. ;)
What value does this provide at all?
This reminds me of Chinese online games will block teenagers at night. (防沉迷) Except that the government forced all online games to do so. Because if some does some does not, teenagers just play the one that does not block them.
Maybe we should build a system that have user's actual password to FB IG TWTR TIKTOK, and user only has password to that system and when they post go through that system as a proxy. Then the system can truly restrict the frequency of post.
But this violates the term of service of all the social network listed above
I forgot to ask, could you point me to some previous attempts? So I can check what difference I have. I did not find much myself except one thing at http://freedomsponsors.org . The difference from that I think is I have a Github bot that tightly integrated with Github
