Imagine celebrating centuries of ongoing slavery and genocide.
America trying hard to separate themselves from England and then having a monarch whiles pushing 1 religion.
They also got rid of native Americans and murdered them.
except for glamour!
shout out to the awesome SNL sketch with nate bargatze
Thanks. Just the mnemonic I needed to remember which one is each case :)
And now L,G,B,T,Q, and + is in danger if Trump wins.
We’re de-frenching your language, we’ll await your thanks.
“Mum” and “Mom”, I think you are onto something.
The French: Couleur
Let le fest commence!
You’re gonna hate reading the declaration of independence. It predates Websters devolution.
Good things take time and all that
They also got rid of “me”
Programme, program
“I don’t want u & me to be a thing anymore”
Yeah please celebrate. Drink and party over the fact, that you’ve got a supreme court that voted to make presidents kings again. The current king won’t do anything to stop the next king, and neither will the rest of america. Congratulations you guys!
Funny meme though.
I was at a stupid party full of magas all literally wrapped in the flag…
They’re electing a guy who will allow project 2025 to be carried out: a “plan” that has been called by members of the foundation that created it “the second American Revolution”
…the American revolution was to break free from the country that owned it and to become a new country.
In other words, these people hate America so much they want to make a new one. But yes, wrap yourself in that flag you brainwashed, propaganda filled morons…
Listen, england isn’t doing well enough to want to go back
I promise to laugh at all your American jokes if you just promise not to vote for turnip round 2 in nov 🙏😭
One can hope, but the polls are looking pretty dire right now.
IIRC, it was actually Webster, who was writing the dictionary, decided to simplify spelling
A large amount of spelling differences between the US and UK like mould/mold and center/center, are due to him
center/center
I like most of the changes he did but he really should have kept the original with this one.
Darn autocorrect
I usually have it disabled, but I’ve been too lazy with the new phone
I think I remember learning that it was to save on printing (newspapers, etc.), but I haven’t fact checked that.
I was under the impression it was partially due to him feeling the ‘U’ made the words feel “too French”, and he supposedly really hated the French (apparently he was a bit of a fan of the ol’ racism), but mainly he wanted something new and uniquely American - and English spelling was even more regional, wild and inconsistent back then, so he hoped to simplify it, bring it some consistency, ideally whilst also telling the French to piss off.
French: single-handedly turn the US into an independent country
Washington and Webster: “fuck you you pricks”
French: :( obliterates half of Europe
This is why Napoleon was so anggey bros. Trust me on this it has to be true. Why else would he have created an Italian national identity than to cast upon us pain and suffering as revenge?
Glamour kept it!
