minus-square520@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months ago Not sure what you think the relevance of a Spanish-English translation of the word “multiplying” has here It’s a more authoritative answer than a random comment by a grammar nazi.

Thanks for calling me a nazi though, during otherwise polite conversation… have a good one.
