people say this all the time but we actually have the word America in our name
Canada and Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc do not

we are adding topical hormones to beetles to see if they will grow bigger horns
if you know what I mean
That's actually a valid way to pronounce tears as well.
"tee-ars"
okay yes, this explained it better
I think economists are actually antediluvian vampires or something
so racist
ban Jacob
Really, Europe? Ode to Joy?
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
Why not a cheerful hymn about the valiant negotiations of the common market with a particularly distasteful and amazing line at Mizuz Thatcher's expense?
wars of religion only ended mid-1600s
german nationalist awakening was mid-1800s, and the old conflict remanifested as the german question. but this didn't prevent german unification.
yes shut up I know english isn't a tonal language.
They cut scenes down, probably for time reasons?
The old episodesi tapped off PBS back in the day contain footage no longer shown on the "new" version.
(Also the oldschool special effects were replaced
Tiers and tears are pronounced identically unless you're talking about ripping things
Both have a diphthong that sounds like ee-uh
oh no
I spilled it, I spilled the hormones
into my lap
I should probably

this
up
at some point
my point was, it's a long time
Ramesses II lived about 2x as long ago and personally had over 100 children. He got a hell of a lot of DNA spread round.
Although there are not records on the number of their children like for Ramesses, you can go back another 1000 years and someone like Sargon of Akkad is probably even more widely spread.
that's not really a diphtong I think but anyway no they're a little different okay?
just trust me
even though this is not my language
:winky:
I thought that was what it was all about

Because R cannot be pronounced without a preceding vowel sound
So I'm a little tipsy.
Also, I'm off to bring the food over to the place so that I only have tie tying to worry about tomorrow.
first you weigh the trail
then you press a button so that when all the native americans get on it you know how much they weigh sans trail
China would disagree and similarly would Viet Nam, North Korea and other nations.
"ee" is a vowel sound
also sorry, I need to vent this: IT'S A FUCKING I SOUND FUCK YOUR STUPID FUCKING LANGUAGE alright I'm okay.
EDIT: Also, no, it totally can. Hafrsfjord, for example.
Canada was cooler when it used to be called British North America, right next to Used to be British North America
It's a unitary diphthong
I don't think it's odd at all. Unification under a nationalist / nativisit / racist banner followed by rapid and successful expansionism is pretty common. The German states get kicked down by Napoleon and boom they're back with a vengeance. Same thing happened at the beginning of New Kingdom Egypt with the rulers of Thebes expelling the Rulers of Foreign Lands (Hyksos in greek) and then going on to conquer much of the middle east.
Or the empire of the Hittites put together by Supiluilimas (who I think needs to be in the top 5 conquerors / statements of all time list) after they got beat down hard by Mari and the Kaska tribes during his fathers time.
Yeah, as far as I know all my family came over from Germany and Poland between 1880-1910.
GPS is still useful for commercial driving, because phone apps don't differentiate between truck routes and roads that suck. Mine routes by height and weight restrictions as well.
For phone apps, I'd go with Waze; it's the best map app I've dealt with.
so's your mum
Are you calling the 30 Years War an internal conflict?
well, compared to what
the conventional understandings of historic nationalist claims typically presume a TNC-ish antiquity
it doesn't feel like a proper diphtong to me. the english "a" and "i" are things I think of as proper diphtongs.
(which you would write "ei" and "ai" if you had any sense)
My mom is as pure as a monophthong
keep up, stay together, that's good
I didn't land on British Columbia
British Columbia landed on me
It's true.
English has the most absurd grasp of vowels. Half the time they have no relationship to the sound they make.
But, to be fair, your language just omits them entirely from long stretches of words.
