@M4rcus1878 @MelMelnyczek @devilfruitbat no it isn’t. every american i’ve ever met in my entire life pronounces “pasta” exactly like this youtube.com/shorts/mgrZfvP…
‘passta’ is not correct.

We will not take lessons on pronunciation from people who struggle to enuncitate the syllables in 'Graham'
Qui-Gon Jim@jimbojd4
Since we hating on Europeans I just wanna add that I absolutely loathe the way British people say “pasta”
English
What about “the British sea” because it’s in the middle of the British Isles… 😏
Rhys@Rhe3es
We should find a new name for the sea between the UK and Ireland

@REDDOWNEY @philemon3127 You're crying about the ancient Greeks, Chris.
English
@philemon3127 It's good to see,over the last 2 days,that less and less English think as u do with the colonial mindset.
People now have empathy for the nations that England slaughtered
English
So the Irish embassy employs a guy (or multiple) to go 'um actually' when British media says 'British Isles'
Connor 🇮🇪@Exitoverhere
Ireland never has and never will recognise the term "British Isles" btw, as per the actual government. It's literally strictly an English/ American term, so stop using it in relation to Ireland.
English
@devilfruitbat I'm sorry, is someone from the nation behind Gloucestershire pretending that just because a word has letters, you have to pronounce every one of them
English
I do apologise to the Americans for the length of some of those words

For Henry Nowak, a young man who died after suffering appalling treatment by police officers displaying racial bias.

By this logic, school shootings are not important enough to fix.
J@storkstrangler
@notanerable To give you a psychological answer Historically, Americans are people who left situations they didnt like, it is deeply troubling to us that you guys have an issue and collectively decided its not important enough to fix but annoying enough to complain about every year
English
@devilfruitbat You don’t prove that you’re confident by pretending to laugh when you’re getting bullied
English
When you're trying to project the impression of a secure and confident country but the tears won't stop flowing
Brian! 🇮🇪🇪🇺@Briani642
If 'British Isles' is a neutral term for the region that doesnt have specific political and Loyalist connotations then why are so many Brits and only Brits insisting that it is?
English
@devilfruitbat > Brits and only Brits
> Several non-Brits in the quoted post saying they use the term British Isles
Intriguing…
English
@GaryJMatthews @salingergregor Because you didn't pay attention to your Irish lessons in school.
English
what when they find out that they speak and write English

@io_lars @AveMegumin @oirdenide So you're saying building settlements in places where people don't live is fine.
English
@AveMegumin @oirdenide Dublin was not conquered it was founded by the Vikings because they could not go inland anyway they were crushed in the end and became gaelic
English
The Norse and Celtic names are also colonial terms because they both conquered this land from previous inhabitants
Jack Nolan@jacknolan__
The “British Isles” is a colonial term Éire, Ellan Vannin, and Na h-Eileanan are Celtic Isles, while the Norðreyjar (Orkney and Shetland), are Norse Ironically, those who popularised & most enthusiastically use the term live in a country that in and of itself, is not an island.
English
@glendohergirl @TheIndGroup @jacknolan__ I like that. We could call the largest islands North-Atlantic Archipelago Major and North-Atlantic Archipelago Minor.

@odyseeadve1095 @nijineko33 @32_Blessings "A Europe with sovereign nations with no imperialism is better than one nation occupying another nation."
Bold of you to assume you can define what 'sovereign nations' are.
English
@nijineko33 @32_Blessings To add. Putin's soldiers and separatists should leave Donbas and Britain's Authorities should leave the Six Countries in Éire.
English
the same people who insist on using british isles are the ones that want you to refer to kiev as "kyiv"

@slackkejakke @charles_martyr I get annoyed at yappy dogs because they are yappy, not because they are dogs
English
@devilfruitbat @charles_martyr I think people do now. They’ll usually say anti-Irish sentiment from British people is some of innate reflex, yet I’d argue a not insignificant amount of it is the consequence of interacting with Irish people online.
English
This website teaches me a lot of interesting new things, such as apparently there’s a conspiracy by British Wikipedia editors to patrol articles relating to Ireland and downplay their sovereignty
English
mind you, it's not hard to say:
I developed this vegan ube ice cream based heavily on the Filipino sorbetes.
you can develop a recipe without erasing the culture it originated from.
Jia.Yoncériah@Jia_Rajiev
I genuinely despise how you ppl are quick to dismiss valid criticisms from Filipinos who created this and just call them stupid simply because yall don't understand the problem that white people time and time again take credit for something that indigenous peoples already made.
English
@MirieShii @barklikegod You've used at least 5 words there without understanding what they mean
English
@barklikegod The trend of white people gentrifying and colonizing things have always been there and you mask it with these ridiculous jargons you think are way beyond our comprehension. I mean no wonder colonizing has been your thing. You're so good at it.
English
all of this insanity stems from people not knowing what “developed” means in culinary terms and then being too proud to admit that they were wrong
Blank⁷@mundanenpc
you could've easily said, "i found this filipino ube ice cream recipe online and modify it a bit because i only have few ingredients in my kitchen" 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
