Salad dressing? Dear English speakers are you okay? Why the hell are you dressing your salad

It's not like it will get cold or suffer from lack of the latest fashion trends

@jiub I have to disappoint, this seems to be a germanic language thing, in German it is called "Salatdressing"

that does make a lot more sense!

even worse in at least in US english "dressing" also means "stuffing" (e.g. allrecipes.com/recipe/19547/gr…)

which i found so confusing when i was a kid ​:neocat_woozy:​

@jiub let's not try to understand pronunciation rules in English xD

Let's not try to pretend there are any consistent rules

English has pronunciation anarchy

@jiub it was really silly in school

English teachers were pretty annoyed actually that my lazy ass studies nothing, can't explain grammar for shit but nails down everything else, lol
