Oh, okay. Does that mean you don't want a present?

I am Jewish, yeah. Not super religious about it or anything; I basically only observe the major holidays, but it sucks because most of the time, schools don't give you the day off for stuff like Rosh Hashanah and shit.

[greatairplane]

What? Of course I want a present! Happy Christmas and Jolly Ho Ho Ho!

Do you want to observe the uh, Hanukkah? weird spelling

[bombshelled]

LOL way to give in to consumerism, nerd.

TBH, Hebrew uses a whole different alphabet so there's not really one way to spell that shit in English. I bet it's probably the same with Chinese?

But celebrating Hanukkah is fun. You basically just light candles and eat latkes, which are these fried potato pancakes. They're delicious, I'll make you some.

[greatairplane]

Yeah probably. Idk how it's handled in this world. Heck, for English i'm mostly letting spell check do it's thing.

That sounds good. You bring the pancakes and I'll bring the tree and we can light the tree up instead of candles, yeah?

[Yeah, he really doesn't know anything about Hanukkah.]

[bombshelled]

Well, spell check's not fucking you over so far!

[ Eh... He's got the spirit. ]

Sounds like a plan.

[greatairplane]

Yeah I'm surprised! I remember this being a lot more frustrating but it's been so long since I had to deal with it I'm not sure if it actually was or if my memories are just exaggerating it.

[bombshelled]

Is this not your first time in America? Or somewhere where they speak English?

[greatairplane]

In America or a version of it, yeah.

But English was a required second language so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[bombshelled]

Man, the American school system sucks. I can barely struggle my way through two sentences in Spanish.

[greatairplane]

I can teach you Chinese if you want. But if you're just complaining to complain, don't let me stop you.

[bombshelled]

Really? I mean, yeah, I was kind of complaining just to complain but I do actually think learning another language would be cool.

I'm not that great a student, though. Fair warning.

[greatairplane]

I'm not necessarily a great teacher, but you wouldn't be the first kid I've had to teach reading and writing to.

[Not that he's personally done it for close to a decade now...]

We can talk about after the new year. I'll DM you when I find a place to set things on fire.
