Very interesting. But, they meant “genteel” class and not “gentile” class, right?
Edit: I’m finding so many grammatical errors in this piece (“Coaches now were now better sprung”) that spelling errors are hardly surprising.
- mikestew 5y agoYeah, I had a clever rejoinder having something to do with Jewish immigration rates in 1816...and then I read the rest of the article and realized that it was probably one of the less egregious errors in TFA. It's an interesting article, no doubt, but be prepared to reread a few sentences. It's almost as annoying as the large amount of dns-prefetch going on to make sure those trackers have their names resolved upfront. :-)
