If only it were spelled "crouwn" or "courounation" in Britain, that would help! But, alas.

No, IMO that point is wrong and stupid: I surf HN with Showdead on, so I've seen that the overwhelming majority of responses to dead comments are pushback on whatever got the parent comment flagged in the first place. So if any conte

Yeah, marcan said so too,on his blog. There's only one place worse on the Internet, according to him... HN.

No idea about either, but: Uganda would be helpful (and hey, Idi Amin did claim the title "King of Scotland!" :-) -- but the UAE wouldn't, for the exact same reason as the UK: The "U" there stands for the exact sa

The expression exists in only two colour variants, blue and (the original) red. If he'd used the other, you'd probably have pointed out what a colonialist Victorian asshole T'so is, for identifying with the 19th century Briti

Certainly more popular since then; probably swept along by "blue lives matter". Have you seen that black-and-blue version of the American flag, with, what is it, six or seven blue stripes (or lines )? How old is that?

by CRConrad 2y ago
Even I have seen it used in other senses by Americans, and I've never been to America. AFAICT it has only acquired that sense, at least to the extent it currently has, after #BLM. Might be an age thing, that most of your cultural impre

It's almost true, though, in a way: The only difference is, Tolstoy wrote "families", not "customers".

You may not hone in on anything, but people who are better at English do. This would be doubly ironic if you're a native English speaker. Are you?
