I am glad that you are well informed and I agree with what you say.

I was saying it right. My accent has a natural emphasis on the Scandic ‘u’ as per Jon Snow. Hooray.

No probs. I like your information and learning the history of place names especially those from Native American languages because it is so different to what we have over here.

Yeah I figured I was missing something. Though I doubt some people in the thread were like “haha lets just laugh at those silly foreign people again” too. :)

I kinda like that. Bo Dark is kinda super country French so that is not so literal a pronounciation. Like that Maine French is kinda like very old peasant French in a lot of ways. Kinda sweet.

Thanks, I learned a lot and won’t be in error again. I just say many things incorrectly as am an Native English speaker with a strong UK accent and thusly, Americans find confusing elements all the time. :)

I hope they do. Like when Dutch people in traditional Dutch Xmas blackface came to London and got threatened with polite violence.

Remember last night on the debate when Pence the Fence didn’t know where Crimea was ...?

It is so white people can make in-jokes and feel good about themselves. And not be challenged at all.

They can’t.

I just think ...

They trace their lineage and origins all the way back to the Norman conquest. The sisters grew up during a time when aristocratic society had an enormous influence on not just the country but the world.

The British class system is something I don’t think I, as an American, get.

I wish more people knew about the Battle for Cable Street too.

it’s more socially acceptable to drink more heavily at English Christmas than it is at any family occasion for most Americans.

Yes but Nancy also said that going to school was “non-U” and the “u” way was to have a governess. They were basically home schooled and that can be hit or miss. Then and now.

You may like to read about the Duleep Singh sisters who manage to achieve a great deal especially Princess Sophia.

Also PG Wodehouse and Waugh are needed to show that people even during the time found these pompous upper class twits to be as ridiculous as they are. Sir Roderick Spode in Jeeves and Wooster with his black shorts. Like, lol. Best satire ever especially since Brexit and UKIP as politicians still ACTUALLY SPEAK LIKE…

Both of them were horrible upper class Hitler sympathisers and I will never ever forget that.

Apart from Unity. She was a fucking ridiculous Hitler groupie.
