Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.
Why cain't they speak English lahk normal foke?
….from the people that butchered the English language.
Can English be butchered? It's already a wildly inconsistent frappe of Frisian, Latin, Greek, and French.
Yes. The American version.
I won't stand behind the American dialect as some kind of paragon of linguistic virtue, but it's hardly butchering the language if we're already cool with cockney and whatever the hell it is bogans are speaking.
I was being mildly amusing/tongue in cheek.
My mistake. Please carry on.
No worries mate. Can be hard to detect tone in text.
Plus I should think a certain type of person will say this seriously.
Thanks for being understanding. I'm still acclimating to Lemmy's civility.
