Better Now |
My wound has healed and I'm now returning to Blighty, where everyone's
wearing overalls and breaking wind in the palaces of the mighty.

Hello, theocracy with a fundamentalist US Supreme
Court who will ensure church and state are joined
at the hip like clergy and altar boys.

Ah, the Brits and their pointless and unnecessary extra consonant and
"e" at the end of...words...umm. <glances at "From" header>

The Es were not always silent, so English sounded like fake Italian --
"sho-peh", etc, in the Middle Ages. The compulsory E at the end of
otherwise final Vs, however, is a now pointless exercise, formerly to
do with clarifying handwriting and carvings.

I can't even make a joke around here without learning something new.
That's so cool.

I was researching it whilst studying "The psychology of language".
Take for example the famous paragraph from Chaucer's Prologue to the
Canterbury Tales from the 14th century:
"The chambres and the stables weren wyde..."
Sounded like:
"The chambrehs and the stablehs werren weedeh."
