Anyone else for whom English isn't their first language something shortcircuiting in translation?

English isn't my first language, though I would say I practically speak it as fluently as my first, and I don't really "translate" to Dutch in my head, I tend to just think in the language I'm using at that time.

But every once in a while, I'll get stuck. Not necessarily because I misunderstand, but more like... something gets rerouted along the way and ends up at the wrong translation.

For example, I just read a Reddit post about a ship, specifically a freight ship. For some reason, "ship" didn't register as "ship" but arrived in my brain as "plane". Read the entire post as if it was about a plane and got very, very confused.

/r/audhd is undergoing a bit of a revamp!

Hi there!

r/audhd is undergoing a bit of construction!

We are looking to revamp the way we do things, overhaul our rules, be a bit more organised and have a few more moderators to do so.

While we do that, the subreddit may be slow, and post approval may take a while. Sorry about that!

I'm looking for moderators - people who are active Redditors, interested in research (that means looking through articles, videos, questionnaires etc. before we approve them, etc.) as well as organising any resources we find.

Are you that kind of person? I'm trying out the built-in Reddit mod application for the first time, feel free to reach out and apply! (If the link shouldn't work, just reaching out through modmail is fine, too.)

For everyone else, I'd be glad to hear suggestions or feedback in the comments.

Thanks for your patience!

~Amy

Update: I've meanwhile been able to put together a mod team that I'm confident will work well and applications are now closed.
