But I got you a fish burger with extra cheese. If I have to eat it then so do you.

Nah, it changes much more rapidly than hundreds of years.
Quote: Renegade Carpark @ July 5 2012, 12:45 PM BSTI blame the Internet, mobile phones, American cultural imperialism, the poor, the Scots, the Northerners and the immigrants for mangling the great English language.
I blame the Romans, the Vikings, The Anglo-Saxons (Germans) and the Normans (French) for mangling the great Celtish languages.

Well, you really should have said something at the time, but oh no, billwill wanted a new aquaduct and was more then happy to collaborate with his 'foreign masters'.

Hmm, if I were to read a book from the early 1800s, say Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, would I be totally lost due to the arcane use of written English at the time?
Nope. It's as easy to read now as it was then. Probably because there wasn't the willful destruction and deliberate misuse of the English language that exists now.
Spend a day reading You Tube comments for homework billwill and then come back and tell me that people don't need a slap.

I've met most of them personally. I remember I was updating Boudica's operating system on her Vic 2 monolith powered personal computer. Could never get the Roman latin based version of Windows v1 to work on it.
Bill you is well old!

Nope. Because I can't read. Hah surprised you, didn't I? All my posts are written by Daily Mail postgenerator 2.0.

Thats amazing I never would have guessed!
'Nope. Because I can't read. Hah surprised you, didn't I? All my posts are written by Daily Mail postgenerator 2.0.'
Because of the spelling mistakes and liberal bent, you've obviously downloaded the far inferior Guardian Fap App only available for the most PC.
'Sitting at a dinner party and Jocasta's husband starts grumbling about the Polish builders building his conservatory and don't know what to say? Just consult the Fap App and learn how to agree and disagree with the conversation whilst giving yourself enough wiggle room to avoid making a decision, appearing racist or expressing a firm opinion.'
People that constantly bore you with anectodes about stuff occurring in their life and laugh like a moron even though the story they're describing ISN'T REMOTELY EVEN FAINTLTY AMUSING
And you have to sit there laughing along falsely just to be polite
I'd love to just stop them mid flo and say "your a bore, this story is a bore, it's is not funny - shut the hell up and never speak to me ever again!"
Umbrellas, people who use them should be made to pass some kind of competence test... before they're allowed to use them in a public place.

You might be able to READ it, but you possibly would not be able to easily understand spoken English of 100 years ago, the 'accents' would seem horrendous.
and even with written stuff, words & sentences get progressively shorter as a language ages, compare the flowery language of H.G.Wells with that of a modern SF or thriller writer.

I did, I did, I distinctly remember saying something like:
Rwy'n rhoi'r bai ar y Rhufeiniaid, y Llychlynwyr, yr Eingl-Sacsoniaid (Almaenwyr) a'r Normaniaid (Ffrangeg) am ystumio yr ieithoedd mawr Celtish.

And did you get your Double Whopper with large fries and a Coke ?
I think it's just called a "royale".
Some people. Bloody philistines. Roar! I'm right fighty now.
