Hedgecutter Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Pilots and the likes largely develop that "the time sponsored by Accurist is..." type accent because they spend so much time communicating using 'radio English' (that requires talking in an overly clear and concise manner").

Icelandic I think still has the letter. Typesetters substituted the letter y for thorn as it was the closest looking letter in the Latin alphabet The Scots surname Menzies is pronounced properly "Mingiss" as the Z stands in for a letter in Old Scots called "yogh" "Things you learned last year" thread for this p**h, but when reading old documents from the 1700s, I quickly picked up on the 'long s' that took the place of today's lower case s... unless it was a double-s, in which case it was a long-s followed by a normal s. One day I'll also learn how to read more than one page at a time before replying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 About a month ago I realised that a line in Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" is "they set you on the treadmill", not the "they said you are the treadmill" that I've thought for about the last 3 decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Just learned that Atalanta also play in blue and black stripes. Unfortunately it took until an hour into the current match I'm watching in the background to realise that Inter Milan aren't the ones playing in that colour. "Eh? 1-1? Shirley 2-0?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what this is, therefore we did not go to the same school and there are 2 Mark Skidmarks out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
