    Is everyone including all of the @‘s in every comment as a joke, or is this some sort of bot thing?

    @GramrgednAngel @NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop I don't know what planet those editors live on then, because I've literally never heard a single person in my entire life say "unbefuckinglievable"".

    @MiaMarkTwo @GramrgednAngel @NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop judging by this thread it seems to be a matter of debate, as there's the stressed syllable factor and the clearly delineated morpheme factor pulling in opposite directions.mastodon.gamedev.place/@gins/1

    @NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Indeed it does. But is it really that 'fuckin' can only be inserted before a stressed syllable? Or that any syllable following 'fuckin' becomes stressed?As fuckin' fantastic is just as valid as fan-fuckin'-tastic ... 🤔😋
