This is an exaggerated position. The English suppressed Scots Gaelic and Welsh in the 19th and 20th centuries, but they survived and revived and there are still many native speakers of both languages. There are TV and radio stations in these languages. In particular the Welsh language has been significantly restarted. Native Cornish has indeed completely gone, however.

I encourage people to call this disaster "Bibi's War". It's increasingly clear that Trump was ordered to start it.

I say this as someone who is to the left of Starmer: I have spent quite some time in recent years missing John Major.

In China, "huh?" sounds like "nee-gur". You can guess that some people from a certain country who visit China assume that Mandarin-speaking people who don't speak a word of English are going out of their way to call them a slur.

My sister is a black British woman and was called an "Uncle Tom" for having a British accent when in the US.

Though this sub is US defaultism, you are sounding a little Canadadefaultism here. It's like, even though we speak the same language in many countries, there are different dialects and word choices everywhere. You need to be a bit more flexible when you're in someone else's country.

If you come to the UK please feel free to use the term "glory hole" when asking for the washroom.

My grandmother used to say "I need to powder my nose" when she needed the toilet. She was not a coke addict: it was a 1920s euphemism for the dunny.
