I like both. Im just surprised there is no outword show of support for the welsh. "Welsh" is an english language nickname for the british. We have all these people swearing their undying love for britian and the british on these forums and off them , but in reality , they want to nick the term british from the welsh , but none of the british language culture and customs.
It really is a strange one . A sort of schrodingers nationality .
Its a bit like the french calling modern france "gaul" , but not wanting to learn any of the gaulish language.
I think english is the worst sounding of most of the european languages i have heard. The rest all follow more or less strict rules , but english is made up on the hop.
....but then , what do you expect from a language which is half french , part german , part danish with loads of subcontinent words thrown in for good mix.
It must grate for someone who deeply identifies as Scottish to use the term 'English' to communicate. poor auld buccy , always trying but failing to make a point. It must grate to use a language that was introduced into england by the French when they conquered England in 1066.
Now , getting back to the op do you wish to comment on it or simply make a fool of yourself as ever?

I never said I didn't care. My posts are very clear, even if you're unable to fully understand the English language. Your tactics aren't convincing anyone and I can see you're pretty shit at all this, so I'll just accept your dishonesty for what it is.

I ask why are you on the thread then posting and caring , contradicting your own earlier words, , and you then waffle on while littering another thread with your trolling bulshit and innuendo. |

Interesting that you see it that way. Linguistically, the Scots have the best of both worlds. They speak your language in addition to their own, whereas the English have generally not acquired the Scots language. |

Of course the fact english is rapidly changing , and more than 99 % of the english language speakers are non english/british passes him by.
As we know , the world language of power today is american english..........

True. Numerous varieties of English are found all over the world, and some would argue that the best English is not even spoken in England. |

The English language in America is supported by political and cultural connections and has had a relatively short time in which to diverge from British English. Spanish and Portuguese, for instance, have had 1500 years in which to diverge from their Latin roots, but American and British English have had only 400 years. It likely will happen eventually and especially if the political and cultural ties weaken, but when? |
