"The English".
- padjo 2y agoExactly the answer I gave in my head after reading the title
- alextingle 2y agoIt's almost as though you didn't read the article.
- -__---____-ZXyw 2y agoI did not read it before posting my little quip, no, as I've already read a lot on the subject. My comment wasn't meant as a comment on the article, but on the title, as I thought I made reasonably explicit in my comment..? Since seeing your comment, I thought oh no, maybe I missed some context or something, so I went and read the article. It's a fine article, but as I expected, nothing new to me. My guess is that you thought I was posting my cheeky response as a "counter" to the article - I wasn't, and I see the article agrees (in more words, of course) with what I said.
