If you want to be technical about my grammar I was trying to say "My English is somewhat different than across the Atlantic. I didn't know that Euro referred to soccer. The article also didn't mention how the virus was spread. Could it be pubs? My understanding is pubs are more common there."

But that is ridiculously wordy isn't it?

Some 'Merikans watched too much Monty Python so have a passing grasp of UKnian. :p

"Oi, wanna pop round to the pub and see football on the telly?" for example.

I've been asked a few times if I were English or Irish because I sometimes accidentally slip into those accents. Python and Britcoms when I was in my late teens/early 20s.

I was putting on my mask outside Walgreens and this old asian guy was trying to explain to me in charades that I didn't need it if I was vaccinated with gestures like a syringe in the arm and stuff. I don't know if he was telling me to get vaccinated or to take off the mask.

And I have such a cool puma face mask too.

I knew where the ZOMG11!!1 THEY'RE COMIN' FOR OUR GUNZ" is coming from (any effort whatsoever at gun control or reasonable laws), but where did he get the Bible stuff from? I sit remember any laws limiting Bible use. There may be something limiting proseltyzing, but not within one's own home.

It's just more of the Right trying to keep stoking fear in their followers. The constant threat of "the left" coming to take their guns was starting to get old, so they needed something new to keep them afraid.

You haven't heard about the "War on Christianity"?

"OI! Ye put an ole in me pocket! I'll put an ole in ye ead! And ye wife's a bloody bird!" was the first one I ever heard.


I wish I had never asked what a bloody bird meant.
