I guess drawing, table tennis, and sprinting. But I never had any desire to go further in any of those and don't have any regrets about it.

Spelling.



<c> represented both the /tʃ/ and /k/ sounds in Old English, digraphs with <-h> such as <ch> are from French influence and didn't exist in Old English.

Compare native English...

English words that use <k>/<ck> instead of <ch>/<tch> are cause of Norse influence.

That'd make sense if true. It'd be similar to native Dutch-speakers from West Friesland (northern North Holland) having Dutch ethnic identity and West Frisian regional identity.

I have seen those clips and encountered such people in real life. I think you would find such people in every country. It's just that Americans are the only ones that get quizzed on it, and then...

Opens them up to many different perspectives too.

I don't agree with that. Why do you think that? There's nerds in both regions that would know that info, but they'd be pretty rare.



It's not practically relevant. Many Europeans don't either...

Having more knowledge on the outside world just has to do with relevancy. America is the most important and culturally dominant country in the world by far so it's gonna be most well known globally....

I always saw specifically stuff like Romeo and Juliet as being taught cause it's part of English cultural heritage. But they're also used as tools for practicing essay writing.

Also, they do make...

This is an Anglicisation of the German name by the way, it should be Brunswich in English. -wich is the English equivalent as seen in names like Norwich, Woolwich, Greenwich, Harwich, etc. It's the...

This kind of logic can be applied to almost any tribe if you go back far enough, Saxons included. They started off as generic words and over time became ethnic-tribal identities.

Angle/Engle -...

The idea that the migration to Britain was just an Angle-Saxon-Jute-Frisian one is a bit outdated. It's just framed that way because of Bede who only mentioned those tribes. Frisians are given less...

I don't really think that's possible unless they break away England from the UK (and maybe form an economic confederation with Wales, Scotland, and Ireland). Scots, Welshmen, and Irishmen don't have...

I've seen that poll before. I think it's true they identify as English first, but they seem more nationalistic for their country (sovereign state) rather than their region/nation. And while Saint...

I don't care about them, was just correcting the misconception about Belgians being an oppressive force in the Congo.

Still way better under Belgian occupation.

Englishmen are less likely to refer to non-Englishmen as English because British civic/national identity is more appropriate for them and non-English immigrants themselves identify as British over...

Belgians never oppressed the Congolese. Most of the deaths were occurring before Leopold made the Congo his estate and as a result of disease and infighting. And the sources on his brutality were...

Saxon ethnic identity is completely dead, even in Old Saxony. So nobody really cares about them.

They're similar in terms of civic nationalism, but the Irish are much more ethnonationalistic. Englishmen put Britain ahead of England, hardly care about Saint George's day, barely fly the English...

Irishmen seem more nationalistic than the English, similar to Scots. And a bit more religious (though still very much liberals).

They are regional self-identifications, not ethnolinguistic ones. Englishmen from those regions considered themselves ethnic English and called their language English, not Saxon. Saxon was just their...

Farktur is more of a font than a script. Why not revive the Runic script instead? :p

Even though you're in a relationship?

Only Schleswig was historically Danish, Holstein is Saxon/German.

As far as I know, Northwest Germans/Northern Dutch and Southern Scandinavians are genetically more or less the same with small...
