    French bashing is overdone and unfunny

      39 people disagree apparently, not counting me. Humour is subjective after all. If anything, forcing your humour to others is even more overdone imo.

  whenever you see an English word and none of the letters make sense

  that just about describes half the English vocabulary

    I recently learned the correct spelling of the word prerogative and I still haven’t recovered.

      at least it doesn’t have random h’s like thorough etc.

        Burrough turned into burrow and borough, both pronounced differently to brow, rough, trough, thought and through.

        I hate English.

      Literally said how its spelt though? Am I missing something?

      • garbagebagel@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’ve always heard it pronounced per-ogative, not prr-ogative

    C’est la vie

    C’est la guerre

    C’est la pomme de terre

    • miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Guerre and pomme de terre are both feminine too, so you’d use la

        This is why they’re called FRENCH fries. Because we’re speaking French.

  Honestly, the original question was a good one. That snarky reply in the original picture was pretty douchey. There’s a lot of interesting history behind linguistics.

  we stole it from the French

  The French invaded England and forced them to adopt their horrific clown language. FTFY.

    Actually the Normans, who were Vikings who rocked up in France and caused such a stink that the crown granted them lands in the north to shut them up. 1066 was basically a succession crisis between three cousins vying for the English crown.
