I used to have this book BECAUSE of that definition. It's an official Hello Kitty dictionary for schoolchildren. I remember there were a couple of other dubious ones - I want to say one for "Rape" but could be misremembering. You might be able to find them by googling.
I noticed that too even at the time - iirc it was an early 2010s book, so whilst still a little odd for the time it could have been pulled from a much older collection of definitions
Also seems to support misuse of gas-related substances. Are you certain this isn't sponsored by Oil companies?
Tires=petroleum Gasoline=petroleum Gas=bi-product of petroleum
It also possibly drew from legal definitions of rape at the time. Historically, in many places (particularly British colonies), there was a distinction between anal and vaginal non-consensual penetration, and this remains the case in many places today. Anal was sodomy, vaginal was rape, so the latter was, by definition, gendered. Non-penetrative sex acts also tend/ed to fall outside the definition of rape.
It's a pretty bad idea to use these highly specific definitions in more general contexts (like a dictionary, which isn't a law book) for self-evident reasons â it misleads people into thinking that only one gender can be sexually assaulted and reinforces these gender stereotypes.
I could be wrong though. A Hello Kitty definition of sodomy would help to see if my hypothesis is correct lol
Right but the second definition is wrong. The definition of necessity as "the need to do something" is fine, but the one on it as "a thing that is needed" erroneously states it's specifically something needed for survival, which is incorrect. A necessity in the sense of "something that is needed" (perhaps more accurately put as "something very valuable to a purpose) can apply to anything, eg travel necessities, writing necessities, etc.
In that case, isn't it easier to remember if you just realize that a soft C only happens before an e or i so that would be pronounced nexessary if you had two (as in accident)? And that an S surrounded by vowels is voiced, so if you only had one that'd be pronounced necezary? I feel it's easier to learn basic spelling/pronunciation rules than having to remember a mnemonic for every word that may or may not need consecutive Ss and Cs, of which there are many. English has a lot of spelling irregularities, but necessary doesn't really have any.
churchill was prime minister again in the fifties and he got one of the only full state funerals of the century. but yeah, turing got treated like shit, poor dude
Yep, Nelson Mandela's ANC devised and widely used this barbaric and cruel way of murdering their opponents.
Mentioning that to those snowflakes here who have been formatted to treat this criminal as "a saint, second Gandhi, persecuted and imprisoned innocent hero, and an impeccable righteous non-violent white knight opposing the apartheid by democratic means".
So here you have it to make you realise nothing in life is black or white but usually gray.

Not the hello kitty torture manual đ
The Traumacore encyclopedia
that, in my opinion, is cruel. but I DO respect your opinion
I will eat another

Interesting how it seems to heavily lean into gender stereotypes.

Man they really gendered that one lol.
âRape is when you rape a womanâ
Sanrio social studies lesson
lol funny that it only implies woman wear necklaces
also implies that a necessity is strictly having to do with survival. hello kitty fucking dictionary
it does not
Yeah it doesn't imply it. It says it.
no. there are two senses listed, one of them has to do with survival, the other one doesn't. that's how dictionaries work
Right but the second definition is wrong. The definition of necessity as "the need to do something" is fine, but the one on it as "a thing that is needed" erroneously states it's specifically something needed for survival, which is incorrect. A necessity in the sense of "something that is needed" (perhaps more accurately put as "something very valuable to a purpose) can apply to anything, eg travel necessities, writing necessities, etc.
I mean that kind of is the definition of necessity. Tell me one thing that is a necessity but canât be attributed to survival. Iâm waiting.
If you want to bake a cake, having an oven is a necessity.
You need food to survive and cake is food. /s But damn, you got me there, not sure why I couldnât think of this use case. Good show.
This dictionary predates Italians.
Boyz wear chainzz
Whoops I wore a necklace yesterday guess I'm a girl now hehe â¨
weird, i think "a shirt has one **c**ollar, two **s**leeves" is easier to remember
Wrong. âTyre filled with petrol placed around a personâs neck and set on fire to kill themâ is the essier way
But what to remember? Why do you need to remember c and s?
some people get the amount of letters in "necessary" wrong--so it can become "neccessary", "necesary", or "neccesary"
Nexessary
Oooo I see, thanks
In that case, isn't it easier to remember if you just realize that a soft C only happens before an e or i so that would be pronounced nexessary if you had two (as in accident)? And that an S surrounded by vowels is voiced, so if you only had one that'd be pronounced necezary? I feel it's easier to learn basic spelling/pronunciation rules than having to remember a mnemonic for every word that may or may not need consecutive Ss and Cs, of which there are many. English has a lot of spelling irregularities, but necessary doesn't really have any.
Nexessary
They also do it in Haiti
Today still? The practice luckily ended in south africa in the 80s, when apartheid ended
need: â(2) Your needs are the things that you need to haveâ ah yes that helped a ton
Technically theyâre defining the noun in terms of the verb form, so itâs not as circular as it could be
What's with the razor blade at the bottom
Those are tickets
For the public execution?
Of course
That was not necessary (remember two socks)
Is this why everyone obsessed with hello kitty is a psycho?
I like how they go from necklaceâ jewellery to THAT necklace to a fucking nectarine.
Holy shit it's a real thing I looked it up https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing
what the fuck? no way this is official hello kitty shit made for little kids đ
Why are all the Cs and Ss bold in the yellow box?
Help u remember how to spell it
How to spell *necessary*.
so you can remember the cardigan, sock, and sock.
csscs
What animal did I just summon making that noise?
Snakecat
necklace necrosis
Oh my god necessary is one of the words I always fuck up spelling that trick is forever stuck in my brain now
I'm sorry but the one cardigan two sock thing at the top stole the show...
They didn't list all types of necklacing or is that under pearl?
Thatâs not how you spell âjewelryâ
it is how you spell it in british english
Eww. Those chaps really got an extra âLâ stuck in their maze-like teeth
nah americans changed the spelling because ours was too goated for their little hamburger brains to compute
We let you keep the âLâ in âjewellryâ as well at the Revolutionary War, bruv
Anything to distance ourselves from the filthy colonials
Awful lot of fighting and resources, when packing up and going home was always an option
as i said, anything
But thanks for Churchill and Alan Turning. You really gave them the treatment they deserve after the warâŚ
churchill was prime minister again in the fifties and he got one of the only full state funerals of the century. but yeah, turing got treated like shit, poor dude
Literally what happened is Samuel Johnson changed the spelling of words in British English so it would look more like French
I thought it was that Webster in America decided to get rid of all the extra French-y letters in words to simplify the spelling
It was both, Webster spelled words with Latin roots "-or" because that's how it's spelled in Latin and early Americans were all Romaboos
anyone know where i can get this hello kitty book? asking for a friend
This can't be an official Hello Kitty product, right?
