    We didn’t do most of the fuckery in English. It was the Normans, while they were in charge, who forced scribes to use screwed-up French spelling for words.

    It’s always the god-damned French.

      You didn’t do most of the fuckery in Welsh, then the Normans from the north came, you paid the danelaw, but we settled either way, influencing the Welsh language, and the we also took Paris, but the Scandics became romance before two generations later reuniting with their people in the isles, creating what is now known as the French creole language called english*.
