….from the people that butchered the English language.

Can English be butchered? It's already a wildly inconsistent frappe of Frisian, Latin, Greek, and French.

I won't stand behind the American dialect as some kind of paragon of linguistic virtue, but it's hardly butchering the language if we're already cool with cockney and whatever the hell it is bogans are speaking.

No worries mate. Can be hard to detect tone in text.

Plus I should think a certain type of person will say this seriously.

Thanks for being understanding. I'm still acclimating to Lemmy's civility.
