The Frenchness of English; dog preferences; very briefly noted; Trying Again to Understand Recent Monetary Policy; Sundowning in America—Donald’s dementia—& England ca. 1900 as the Only True...
I'm not sure that creoles even recognize the concept of bounds.
Next question: is Japanese just badly pronounced Chinese plus badly pronounced English? (Answer is again: no, obviously.)
French is badly pronounced French though. (I like the language, but facts are facts.) And English is insanely pronounced English, and has been for a much longer time.
IInitially, I thought this was going to be a statement of the obvious, but it was far more informative than I expected. I particularly like the use of comparisons of the words to show their derivations and even the change of pronounciation as letters are dropped.
The dropping of the leading "h" is interesting, and very much the reverse of what I expected. I always assumed that the h-dropping was by the lower classes of the UK, not the upper classes. So I find it interesting that American English drops "h"s a lot, e.g. "herbs" become "erbs", while inconsistently "heron" keeps its hard "h", as does "hereditory". [How is herbarium pronounced in the US?]
While the French are apparently absorbing back some of their "mispronounced" French words, France periodically wants to purge the language of English words. Purity eventually becomes the enemy of the adaptability of the language. Just look at the clumsiness of German. English stands out in its acceptance of new words, and as is obvious when reading texts from the past, dropping words from common usage as the language changes with the times.
There are hundreds of books about Gettysburg. General Longstreet, second in command, tried to defer the charge, but Lee decided to gamble and disorganize the Union Army, which was too confused to counterattack, letting Lee's army to escape.
Pueyo: If CDC/FDA had allowed development of cheap screening test for self isolation and test to enter regimes, provided information and methodologies for individuals and public officials to design cost effective NPIs based on local conditions and risk preferences, and and shortened the time between development and roll out of vaccines, it coud not have been a "dance" all along.
That's very helpful on Stonewall Jackson. On the toponym Cemetery Ridge, Union troops also dominated from Herr Ridge, McPherson Ridge and Seminary Ridge, Cemetery Hill, and Culp's Hill from the first day, and Little Round Top on the second.
You could as easily say that English is just Netherlandish mispronounced. (I believe the Frishian dialect is the closest match to English.) For that matter, French is just mispronounced Latin.
Is Rosie hanging out in the flower bed because that is teh cooler place as the weather warms? In winter, my cat snuggles up where it is warm or can become warm - the floor register, the duvert. But in summer the preferred spot is the slate floor in the bathroom, kept cool bt the crawlspace and the cold water pipes.
English is badly pronounced French to just the same extent that French is badly pronounced English. Or perhaps less so, since there are so many more English speakers.
I still think the jumped-up Vikings are the most interesting part of the story.

Lee succeeded in escaping. Meade hesitated, now knowing if Lee had retreated.
Lee had attacked hills on the ends of the ridge the first 2 days and thought the center might be weak.

Aww Rosie!!!
Torres: Whether or not there will be few or many rate cuts or increases in the future, the
Fed really ought stop speculating about its future decisions. Auto-speculation runs the risk of actually affecting those future decisions.

Rosie's choice: Not unusual, endearing regardless.
