Surely the only languages that are not weird are those specifically designed to be widely spoken?

And no-one wants to speak those!

It keeps the butter hard and useless?

“Who goes there”, John Campbell, 1938.

(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

It’s German, and you’re about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

I think what’s happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

And I’m sorry, but I don’t think the people won back then.

The Romans calling the Gauls primitive is a bit like the British calling the Americans primitive.

True, but for Gods sake don’t look in the mirror.

My first thought when I read op was that trousers are a relative new development.

The Romans made fun of the Gauls for wearing them.

So if you decide to wear traditional Roman dress, trousers shouldn’t be included.

But it’s still designed for men.
