German: “There are like…a lot of different ways to say ‘the’ based on case and gender and you’d better believe most answers you might come up with as a non-native speaker are wrong.”
English: “THE is THE!”
Seriously, English has its flaws, but the simplification of article adjectives is one area where it shines.
Living in tornado alley, having a TV antenna and a weather radio is almost a requirement. If the Internet gets knocked out, OTA still works. Also, my Internet is shit so I wouldn’t rely on it if a tornado is bearing down on my location, but I do also love watching 9½ hours of nonstop tornado coverage when nasty storms might come my way.
Outside of that, I know to tune in at about :15 past the hour during newscasts to catch the weather report, which gets uploaded to their website later anyway. If the football game is on, I might catch that if I care to watch. I don’t really watch OTA otherwise.
But I’m 32 lol
