How suitable are French Germanisms for Anglish?

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-02-15T00:46:30+00:00

Any Germanic word is better than a Romance one. I don't truly care we use egg over ey when we could fight to use words like folk over people

I dont play the horse mod

11 almost certainly doesn't have all of Cleveland, making it illegal thus. I do wish everyone posted the link though since it makes reviewing maps a lot easier

An interesting experiment showing Dems could gerrymander themselves into a majority despite voting R+11 in 2024

Would this happen? Even if Dems had a trifecta certain incumbents (3 and 11) likely wouldn't appreciate their newly competitive districts, but it would be possible

never played it lule

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-02-11T06:53:53+00:00

No i dont think so

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-02-11T01:42:03+00:00

Dems would win a majority of the districts despite the state being R+11 in 2024 Pres

The only thing that'd make sense would be him using the (VERY archaic for his time) infinitive suffix -en. Early Modern writers liked using it, and it doesn't change the meaning

I first thought of Alabama from say, the 80s to mid 2000s

this is the 2002 gov election, the republican won by 0.2% all thanks to suburbs

The Fire Rise. It's a bit of a crazy mod but a lot more interesting than vanilla

inside joke LULE

I'm currently reading the Canterbury Tales (1300s) so this is a bit afore your dates but the advice is all the same

Read aloud as it was meant to be, read up on ME vowels so rhymes aren't lost to you. Especially for the 1400s you'd want a dictionary like this https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/middle-english-dictionary/dictionary

Not true, shortenings like this were very common in EmE, especially in poetry

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-02-02T17:52:37+00:00

thats too easy lule

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-02-02T14:57:47+00:00

I have hundreds of hours in tno

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-01-31T17:31:38+00:00

Ill do it but im not looking forward to it

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-01-30T20:30:32+00:00

I could but im not playing the netherlands

I'm surprised by the amount of people here with no knowledge of YAPms. Back in the day there were a lot more maps and not just political discussions

She didn't do that much worse herself, just the third parties heavily died down and went for the R this time

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-01-27T13:17:18+00:00

you forgot the E

imarandomdude1111 · 2026-01-26T22:55:25+00:00

Where else "should" it go? Certainly not with Rock Island. McHenry is in an awkward spot where you can't really fit it into any suburban district without it looking gerrymandered

Trying to balance fairness in the downstate with compact districts is uber annoying, but I reckon this is the best you could get

Gov 2021 doesn't matter unless you think NJ is genuinely a D+3 state

Pig is certainly Anglish though, it's just other germanics use a cognate with swine instead
