It’s because they didn’t set that ringtone, it’s either the default of their grandson set it for them, and they don’t realize other people have a different one.
I like the second part of this. My dad’s always asking about updates as if we get the same universal updates. Or notifications. Or apps. Or you tubes. He has no idea how drastically different each experience is
My ringtone is silence. If my phone isn’t on me to feel the vibration, the call isn’t important enough to answer.
Don’t think it’s old people I think it’s more audio processing disorder which perhaps could happen to people later in life. All I know is I know people who have audio processing disorder and often times don’t realize it’s there phone because of how much noise is going around, all ages and all gender and sexes can experience this
I have it also and it’s incredibly hard for me to know who’s talking or my ringtone /notification even if it’s unique. With out my noise cancelling headphones with passthrough, every sound I hear all at once at all times, nearly impossible for me to differentiate between them
That comma, usage annoyed, me.
Idk man, I’m not a native English speaker
What is your first language if you don’t mind me asking
All good, it’s German. We have terrible comma usage
I’ve found it interesting how people who learned English as a second language tend to use sentence structures and patterns associated with their first language. What are the ways to tell if a German speaker is obviously American or has learned English first, if you know them?
Pronunciation is a big one - they often struggle with the “r”, and other sounds such as “ch”. Also, instead of “the”, German has “der”, “die” and “das” with no obvious structure when you should use which, so people fail to say the correct one.
