Abuot names: Mount Kosciuszko is named after the tomb of Tadeusz Kosciuszko (of the US Revolutionary War) since the explorer who named it was Polish. Always fun to insist on pronouncing it koz-jius-ko instead of the vernacular kos-si-oh-sko

Use TransferWise to move USD to your GBP account? Or even more, use TW's borderless account? You swap a bright pink/orange card for a bright lime green

To be clear: Modern English and Scots share the same direct ancestor of Middle English. They’re both about the same age, they both diverged from Middle English. The Romans made it all the way to Aberdeen, the Normans got up north no problem

The Scots leid branched off from Middle English tho, well after 1066. There’s plenty of French in the bonny north’s tongue. Scots Gaelic was the language untouched by the Normans, and quite a few words got transferred into Scots when the Ga

It is racist! Making generalised judgements about an entire group of people based on their ethnicity background is classic racism.

It’s conversational, and adds nothing: the reader who was following along already asked themselves that question, and the reader who’s hasn’t latched onto the thesis doesn’t understand why this is a good question to ask.
