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

They also have to be fluent in original English (Celtic). This Germanic originating crap they speak now was brought by immigrants.

Celtic? Dang bro, you going back to pre–Anglo-Saxons, even pre-Roman Britain!

Romans were occupiers too. I mean, what did the Romans ever do for them?

A couple of roads, a couple of baths, plus a million or two rabbits.

Yes, the Aqueducts, the roads, a couple of baths and a million or two rabbits. But besides that, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Yes, the aqueduct. But other than the aqueduct, what have the Roman's ever do for them?

Funnily enough even though I'm American. We traced our family tree back to 835 AD on one side of the family, and 1650 on the other side. Both sides of the family were here in the new world by 1640.

I don't know why you got the downvotes, maybe I'm missing something. If that's true, that's pretty impressive to have that far back in some type of documentation. My surname trail goes cold after going from the US back to Britain in the early 1700s.

Am Australian. So wish I had EU grandparents so I could get.citizenship and leave this shithole.

That song seems frustratingly confused. The Anglo-Saxons migrated to the British Isles after the Romans had departed. Caesar would have encountered the earlier Celtic Britons (who were also the ones sometimes believed to have painted themselves with woad).

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.

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.

I tried to make a situation which is artificially hard to guess.

Study don't be a donkey like your father -> is this father a donkey?

Study, don't be a donkey like your father -> what I would have guessed (father is a donkey)
Study, don't be a donkey, like your father -> people do talk like that, they add examples afterwards (father isn't a donkey)

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

I vibe write all the time but I have to correct it before I can let anyone see it

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'.

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

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?....

What's wrong with just cupping up water in your hands and licking it up like a cat?!

If you want to remove both natives and immigrants, you're just racist.

You reached the end
