So not the fuckin' French then 🧐 😂🤣😂 🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇬🇧 🫖🎩 laughs in Her Majesty's English
(On a related note, does anyone else have this much fun lampooning British nationalism?)
Edit: Only Parisians are downvoting this, glory to Britannia
Playing Rule Britannia (bass boosted) over voice chat when you declare war on your friends with a huge navy in Civ is great
Brb, booting up Civ V, the best Civ
Gotta be honest I like VI better. V is great for sure, but I think that VI offers far more variety in terms of viable gameplay approaches and interesting decisons to make. Each to their own, of course, I'm not about to tell anyone that they aren't allowed to prefer V
Reminds me of WorstPremadeEver in Pulsar: Lost Colony
I don't speak French but isn't pronunciation quite straightforward while not intuitive? There are letters that are always silent at the end and vowels go wild but once you know which is which, you're not confused that <oi> is /wa/ anymore since it's consistent. No <gh> that can be anything
Same in English. You can intuit which words follow Latin rules, which words follow Greek rules, and which words follow Germanic rules. Once you have a feel for it, spelling starts to feel natural for some fucking reason
Alors oui je confirme, l’orthographe du français c’est bien de la merde!
