Our favourite mistakes #151: Grammar

▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Xudoga shukur!

❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Thanks God!

✅ Well, it should be:

Thank God!

❓Why?

It sounds like you’re talking to God. 😇

❗️ Thanks has two uses: a) to thank somebody directly in a conversation or b) to give a reason for some good result, e.g. My English is getting better every day thanks to Afandi English.

❗️ To thank sb/sth is a transitive verb and thank here is a third-person imperative, similar to the Uzbek -sin suffix in bersin or qilsin.

Know Your World #67: The Great Global Warming Swindle

▶️ Here’s a 2007 British documentary that claims global warming is a swindle (=cheating). The term “global warming” has since been abandoned in favour of the more universal “climate change”. It’s been heavily criticised for going against mainstream science.

The climate is changing but it's not caused by humans. It's natural.

No, climate change is bullshit. Politicians are trying to fool us.

Not sure what to think.
