It was good of the Romans to teach the Brits how to speak.

How to write. perhaps. How to speak? Probably not. It was the Anglo-Saxons who brought the language.

Until the 14th century most nobility and clergy spoke French while everyone else spoke Anglo-Saxon - until Chaucer. That is why we have different words for animals and their flesh- Pigs or Swine for those who looked after them; Pork for those who ate them.

Point being, nobody invented or owns a language.

English has thousands of local dialects; all are English.

Except for that shit the Irish spout.

you might want to wind your neck in somewhat in the run up to St Patricks day. As a person considering moving to Ireland i find you view somewhat racist.

as for owning a language L.L. Zamenhof estate may well be in touch soon. feel free to respond in Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth may want a word though,

I think the Welsh would disagree.

but then I'm just a Yank that speaks in Texas twang.

Sorry Dolf, but Michelle Obama is obsessing as well:

“My hope is that, when I think about what they're going through, I think about the importance of family and I just pray that there is forgiveness and there is clarity and love and resolve at some point in time," Mrs. Obama, 57, said. "Because there's nothing more important than family."

Kinda like so many of our racists. They must post to prove they aren't...but the more they post...the more obvious their views become proving they are

Interesting quote from Meghan’s estranged half-sister:

Markle accused her sis of strategizing to get close to Prince Harry, noting that the younger Markle went to great lengths to study and mimic Diana, the Princess of Wales — even wearing the same perfume as Diana on her first date with Harry.

“Don’t tell me my sister didn’t know who Harry was.”

Interesting quote from Meghan’s estranged half-sister:

A gold digging whore....... just my opinion. Not racist as I say the same thing about Courtney Stodden

There are a lot of holes in Harry & Meghan's tale of woe...

The Daily Mail published a six-page investigation in Saturday's edition, headlined: "Harry and Meghan, the inconvenient truth."

1. (Ogg mentioned this earlier):

The newspaper challenged Meghan and Harry's claim to have married in private days before the royal wedding accompanied only by the Archbishop of Canterbury, stating a marriage is not legal in Britain without two witnesses and the marriage license was issued for St George's Chapel.

2. They pointed out Prince Harry had said he was ashamed to tell the royals of Meghan's mental health crisis despite having previously made public the fact he had therapy himself.

3. They also challenged Meghan's claim to have only left the palace twice over a four-month period, reporting the royal diary the Court Circular records only two long stretches without royal engagements.

The Daily Mail suggested Meghan went on holiday four times during one of these and during the other left the house four times for private outings and once to give birth to Archie.

More woe: Her passport was confiscated?

Yet she had many trips abroad while she was supposed to be without her passport?

The private marriage?

Even Lambeth Place on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury denied that. It was an exchange of vows; the Church of England formula for recognising an engagement NOT a marriage.

 

[rockcasbah]

More woe: Her passport was confiscated?

Maybe they thought she was Jason Bourne.

 

[oggbashan]

Maybe they thought she was Jason Bourne.

And the British cannot confiscate an American passport!

PS: A Royal Prince in the line of succession cannot marry without the consent of the Ruling Monarch (and the UK government). Probably one of the other things Meghan 'didn't know' despite having Harry and their staff to explain everything to her.

She didn't know she had to curtsey to the Queen? She didn't know, despite mentioning the relevant Act of Parliament, that her son couldn't be a Prince until Charles is King? She didn't know the words of the UK national anthem? Most Brits know the words of the US anthem and the French one too.

What Meghan apparently didn't know would fill a book yet she was engaged to a Prince and didn't try to find out what his role was, and what his family did? Bullshit!

He should have married a real Princess like Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand

...then Prince Philip could have used his "slitty eyed" lines.

He couldn't. She's not a Protestant.


It's a shame. Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand would have known far more about the British monarchy and court behavior than Meghan appears to do.

 

[rockcasbah]

Oh, I think with the right training she'd be protesting in no time.

Hei, this was THE BESTanalysis of the intwrview that I got. It's Fantastic.
Please skim through it, it's worth it.
-- Lance, Rainblow & in particular (you being outside of the UK / US cultures) - & anyone else
do you agree with the speakers' take on the culture clashes between UK-US conservative- vs. therapeutic modern cultures?

Will Harry and Meghan's House of Woke 'fade into obscurity'? | SpectatorTV

Freddy Gray, the Spectator's US editor, tells Andrew Neil that the Sussexes have established a rival Royal household across the pond. Rod Liddle, the Spectator's associate editor, says their complaints about the British press stems from a uniquely American self-obsession.

Rod Little:
"I think harry and megan have established themselves as a a house of woke.
Their worldview is very much oriented around celebrity and sort of therapy. Because if you if you watch the Oprah interview, it's like a long counseling session. And this is actually very potent in the media because people love talking about their feelings.

And I think where harry and megan got this idea from was the "Heads together campaign", which was something the younger royals launched, when they decided they wanted to do a big drive on mental health. And a lot of sort of royal people (royal suckups pr operatives) got very excited about this idea that the younger royals could rebrand the monarchy by talking about their feelings and how much they suffered.

But I think other people within the royal family realized this was quite a bad idea, and that people don't want to hear royals gassing on about their feelings. And so William and Kate pulled back a bit from that. But Megan and Harry - it came to them very naturally, and and they couldn't stop themselves so they they have become this sort of rival house of Therapeutic Woke culture.

Freddy Gray:
"And you can see that in some of the language that both Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey use "what now matters is that people have their own truth", etc.

Right from the beginning, our antipathy towards Mehan (if there was any in the press and there was), seemed to be --not because she was a mixed race, but because she was an american, and a particular kind of american who loves those values which some americans do.
I think it evolves from america's uh primacy of the individual over the communitarian, in that you can if you're an individual, you have your own truth.:

Rod Liddle is a cunt and always has been. So is his best bud Julie Birchill.

 

[rockcasbah]

The rival royal house stuff is horse shit. Harry is the Andrew of that part of the litter.

Yes, individual first vs the group. Plus she’s a leo karen.

 

[oggbashan]

Why should any member of the Royal Family talk to Harry or Meghan when details of their calls are on American Media within hours?

The couple who wanted 'privacy' can't or won't keep anything private. They are burning their bridges with a vengeance.

Enlighten us further, Professor.

I think he might be referring to Irish Gaelic, which of course, isn't English.

But as for English dialects? It is still true. Someone who has studied dialects can usually place a person within 50 miles of their birthplace - unless they have lived in other parts of the country.

Locally our youngsters speak 'Estuary', common to Kent and Essex, but there is a difference between Kent and Essex and even between East and West Kent. It isn't as marked as it would have been fifty years ago, but the differences can be heard.


I confuse locals. I was born in Wales, educated in London, Suffolk, Gibraltar and Australia. But it is most marked when I try to speak French. My last formal education was in Australia so even decades later I still speak French with a Strine accent.
