    My favorite response to someone being racist is a slightly less modern (but opposite) form of their racism.

    If you speak this dirty foreign language called Ænglisc you can fuck right off back to Saxony or Denmark.

    If you ain’t Pict you can get ficked.

    If they can’t trace their family line back to early 1066, they aren’t real Brits.

    Lol apparently 300 years (plus or minus) is the cut of for being a real British.

    That’s just enough generations living in the isle to figure it how to use ‘innit’.

    People who don’t use punctuation are “vibe writing.” Vibe Readers are gifted. I am not gifted.

      Idk if this helps, but most of the time someone writes without punctuation, it’s because they’re writing as if they were speaking.

      So in this case, it can be read as someone spouting the whole thing as a single sentence without stopping (except for the self quotes). I do, however, acknowledge that it is way easier to read this if you are neurotypical and know how people’s writing style is correlated to the way the speak.

        Thanks. It doesn’t help me personally. Punctuation is literally there to help express tone and add context to written language. It shows pauses, end of thoughts, whether something is phrased as a question…etc., etc.

        So much better. And I appreciate that you really went for the full blown punctuation, using all the tricks in the book, well done.

    Fuck the hanoverians though, worst kings ever. They should’ve gone back to Germany before losing us the American colonies and losing my personal fortune on the south sea bubble.

      Poor guy…you lost your fortune in the South Sea bubble? That’s terrible! Hey…what were you invested in, specifically?..
