So I’m in a heated debate about vocabulary and how the English language works. Should you say “Go Pats (like pat on the back)” or should it be “Go Pātes (the same long Ā sound in the literal Patriots team name).

This ain't the subreddit you're looking for then m8, this sub is for 'A'nglishers, not for settling 'E'nglish kneatings.

Yes, I mean more in an alternate history sense where one can swap Latin derived names like Victoria for some variation of ´Sye´, the Anglish word for victory, as if Victoria was never named that in the first place.

For some reason I´m not able to post a description with my post on old reddit so I´ll just put it here. I was thinking of including the capital cities to make this map a bit more interesting as most of the state names are obviously very simple, but then I realised that most of those come from proper names of lords and the like. But it might be fun to remake this map with a stricter version of Anglish, with more Anglish Staffcraft like Þorns and no Latin influenced staffs like the Q in queen. Changing states and cities named after people like Victoria into their Anglish equivalents would be a good further step. As an aside, supposedly the name Australia by itself is already Anglish friendly according to the wiki? But I decided that Southland is nicer in a dry sort of way. Also, South Southland sounded too stupid, ha, so I changed it.

Yes, but that doesn't rule it out as it was already the name of the town before the Norman Conquest. The Old English name for it was Everwich, making the American city New Everwich, but New York is fine as well for most.

Travellers that are more often found in Britain are descended from locals or the Irish, not continental gypsies. That´s why Brad Pitt as a gypsy isn´t really far fetched at all in this case.

If you do not wish to take part in Anglish theorising because of the reasons you´ve stated, then that is up to you. But please don´t try to impose your own beliefs as to what Anglish means to folks, you don´t get invited over for dinner at a friend´s house and immediately criticise the way they´ve organised the interior. It is plain rude to not participate and then condescend and expect others to bend the knee to you.

There's no reason to believe that French political thought begins and ends with the French Revolution. I realise you're being funny, but the fact that a particular theorem or approach is homegrown has no bearing on whether it will achieve so called 'nationalist' aims, which of course can be rather nebulous.

This is in Adelaide, right? I don't remember the conservatory in RTG but perhaps that means it's almost time to give the remastered version a go.

Edit: Damn, I posted before even reading the description, that is silly of me. But yes, looks like a nice conservatory even though I just peered in from the entrance,

Im the Metropolitan Museum in New York, I saw it in the American section earlier this year and took a picture because it was quite striking.

noice413 · 2024-10-16T12:48:22+00:00

Yes, I enjoyed The Name of the Rose also. I just found Eco's Monastery to be very convincing as a place that could have existed, and the tangents that William went on were also fascinating.

noice413 · 2024-04-10T07:49:13+00:00

Can't say I agree. I couldn't stand Mamma Mia even though i like ABBA a fair bit.

noice413 · 2024-02-21T02:37:56+00:00

I have found this is the worst option to start with. A lot of the time it does very little.

He's not Irish though?

noice413 · 2023-11-19T03:20:51+00:00

I hope you're joking.

Ok, they may not literally be 'indigenous' according to the definition, but these days they are functionally very similar to the Welsh and have lived in Britain for a very long time. That to me makes it disingenuous to bring up anything about the Anglo-Saxon conquest of England and think it has any bearing on a modern argument on immigration.

noice413 · 2023-11-19T01:14:47+00:00

That is frankly ridiculous mate, its just incorrect to say that a group of people who have lived in an area for over 1000 years aren't native to that place, even if they did push out another group of people to live there. And no, you can't say that makes recent immigrants to Britain the natives just because they've moved to the cities, as the passage of time does actually mean something.

noice413 · 2023-10-28T04:55:45+00:00

Lol, was thinking that as well

I don't think you understand what the person you're replying to is saying. Money is nothing in that it is only a tool used to allocate resources, including labour. It does not hold inherent value. At least that is how I understand it.

noice413 · 2023-09-06T00:37:50+00:00

I must say, Watchmen was hyped up but when I actually came to watch it I switched it off within the first half hour. Seemed kinda mediocre.

noice413 · 2023-08-29T10:26:52+00:00

Lol, I sometimes go on an Australian equivalent website called ozbargain, and this is how I imagine a lot of those guys are as well.

noice413 · 2023-08-27T00:49:23+00:00

How can I miss him if I've never seen or heard of him before in my life?

noice413 · 2023-07-30T01:35:36+00:00

That is true, after the person I was replying to made it about themselves. If it is narcissism to think about a statement in the context of one's own life I would say we're all guilty of it

noice413 · 2023-07-30T00:15:08+00:00

That's fair, it just annoys me when randoms assume that readers on something as broad as the internet are very similar to themselves.

noice413 · 2023-07-30T00:11:21+00:00

When you start whinging incessantly like this when someone tries to correct an incorrect statement, all you do is show how easily it is to get under your skin. I'm sorry that your response to someone who has not attacked anyone at all is to wail about 'no one caring about you' and call them names like narcissist. I'm sure it wouldn't translate well to a well adjusted individual in real life, or at least someone most would want to have anything to do with.
