minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前That is a bad faith argument when you need to learn it in order to call for help. Kinda leaving out some details. Besides, you fuckers just absolutely flood every thread you show up in.
minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Would you want to spell that out every time you give your address?
minus-squareRangelus@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前I have to spell my street name 50% of the time, and it’s a perfectly normal English word. The last place I lived had a slightly unusual English word name, and I had to spell it 90% of the time.
minus-squareBalpeenHammer@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前Why are you incapable of learning it though? Is there something special about you?
minus-squareirmoz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前 when you need to learn it in order to call for help. Is that the purpose of street names? Don’t think so
minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前How can you tell emergency services where you are otherwise? Do you understand what a street name is?
minus-squareirmoz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前Lol. You’re just reaching for that situation because it’s the only possible problem, and even then it’s not likely to cause one.
minus-squareirmoz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前…yes?? It’s the name… of a street… used for more than just directing ambulances.

You didn’t answer the question.
…whether i understand what a street name is?
Yes. Do you?

That is, however, one of it’s purposes.
