As a Norwegian, I am fully aware that my ancestors helped created the English language by first invading the welsh isles, and then, three generations after invading the Francs, we invaded the isles again with romance speaking nobility for generations.

English is a Nordic made Francish/Welsh/Germanic creole that was made popular by the still Norwegian blooded crown.

I used to pronounce it “sk”, but in my new job, working with schedules with a Londoner, it is now “sh” for me. Undoing the US-ification of my English one word at a time.

Of course, wouldn’t want consistency or anything trivial like that.

If we hadn’t already nuked ourselves by slaughtering the bees, and the bees suddenly took 80 % of our living space from us to expand their own, we’d be nuking them.

The fascinating part is, why aren’t the smart, massive matriarchs ordering all humans stomped on sight?
