I have to know, who the f*** is this Briton of which you speak? Is it one specific Briton, or is it all of them, or what? Was he ever caught and punished for murdering our prisoners?

It is our revolutionary war. There is lots of documentation on it. Try Google and Youtube

He probably means Britain.

Really? I can't think of any examples.

Both of which will probably spell Britain correctly so T might learn something. I wouldn't bet on it.

I think he was more alluding to the fact that you misspell Britain as Briton

If spelling errors were the worst of T's transgressions, he wouldn't be in my killfile.

If brandon weren't a very poorly programmed AI, he'd have the intuition to know what T meant, and the judgment to refrain from correcting his spelling.

English doen't have pronunciation rules, none that can be relkiea upon anyway.

Jasen. 🇺🇦 Слава Україні

Actually it has about six different sets of pronunciation rules - depending which language the Englsih word came from originally. they are internally consistent, but knowing which one to apply requires a lot fo background information, which you can get from an etymological dictionary, if you can afford one and have the shelf space to accommodate it.

Our house has them for Dutch, German and English.

The Britons moved to France when the Anglo-Saxons showed up :) And Wales, of course. If you see an unpronounceable word with too many consonants you're dealing with a Briton.

I think you are confusing Celts and ancient Britons. The people who live in Brittany still speak Breton

You probably mean one of the Celtic languages - Breton, Cornish, Manx, Welsh and Scots and Irish Gaelic

This isn't impressive. You get some brownie points for having some kind of vague idea of what was going on more than a thousand years ago, but not all that many.

You think the west gets along?
