Indubitably
Only english you will hear in italy is random english words in italian sentences cuz some teens want to look cool.
Your fancy words are just our normal latin derived words, just better because they didn’t go through French.
No offence InteractionSmall, but this has never happand to me.
Why don’t you use actually like it should? (Actuellement in French, Attualmente in Italian, Aktuell in German, etc).
Giving rights to Indians.
Neither Britons nor yanks know what that is.
But we do, France did
There was never a higher (and more awkward) compliment than a British person telling me “I’m sorry but I don’t know what that word means.”.
Like “Oh.. wait, but, what, it’s your language, I don’t under… ok, sure never mind, so it means…”
Hawk tuah or I dont know never watch the movie ?
Simple, we aren’t really continentals.
From my perspective, it’s more like Scots are the end boss after you got past the Scousers. Full DVD set of Red Dwarf helped a lot with the latter, though. I’m now trying to work up the bravery to face all episodes of Burnistoun on Youtube in the hope it might do something similar for my ability to decode Scottish.
If you wanna use the internet, you HAVE to learn english.
InteractionSmall’s self-deprecating humour is what I always thought all Brits have. Then I started conversating with Brits on the internet
Difficult words are actually the easy ones because they are often transparent.
Because they bother to learn it formally while we just don’t care enough.
