That's all you need to know about "standardization" IRL

@nina_kali_nina
The "New Orthographic Agreement", which should theoretically standardisze the way the several Portuguese languages are written (and spoken to a lesser degree), is drunk giggling at the corner.

The thing has SO many exceptions that it might as well not exist in the first place.

And after decades of it being signed there's exactly ONE country that adopted it, Portugal, with debatable actual effective implementation outside (and even inside, honestly) the Government sector even after at least a decade of being legally mandatory to use it for Government-related things (including schools)...

@nanianmichaels @nina_kali_nina @luna Como assim, não foi implementado fora de Portugal?

No Brasil nós perdemos a trema em sagüi e o acento em idéia, perdas irreparáveis feitas para o bem comum (e para vender livros brasileiros em toda a lusofonia).

@bkim Oh, informação nova que me dá, a informação que tinha é que só Portugal tinha implementado o Novo Acordo Ortográfico...

Obrigado pelo esclarecimento!
