Question: Are there cases in the UK where locals start, for fun, pronouncing words the way they are spelled if they were english and not how they are actually pronounced. I spent probably a decade calling it the Thaims river when I would read it in a book before I ever heard it pronounced. Purposely mispronouncing words can be funny, just like how using grammar like Gollum or Yoda can be funny. One of the things my partner and I have gotten into the habit of out of a joke is to say "Sest la vy". We know its pronounced c'est la vie its just funny to say with an English spelling. It may be more natural in the US to do this just because we have a lot of borrowed city names that are mispronounced and now are just their names. Both Indiana and Kentucky have a Versailles, and its pronounced the way its read if it were an English words, Ver-sails. Of course thanks to Donkey from Shrek I will now on occasion refer to it as Worcestershire sauce too. -

"Can't stay away from you" - Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine
Third time we've seen this first-verse-and-chorus clip, recorded when Glo was in town for the oh-so-successful BPI awards last month.
Mick Fleetwood blamed the cleaners at the Albert Hall. Co-host Samantha Fox blamed the producers who didn't leave enough time for rehearsals. Always useful to see who punches up...

@quaap I don't write much on Quora, but sometimes, the very thought of Lipton Tea forces me into doing so.

#UK to strip #migrants of everything except #weddingRing, says #TheSun. #Jewellery & watches, #necklaces & chains, cars & bikes will be seized and sold.
There was a country in Central Europe famous for taking the last assets of people who had lost everything else. Maybe they can give technical advice to the #Brits.

Een echtpaar uit Groot-Britanniรซ heeft een wel heel speciale manier gevonden om hun huis te verwarmen: in hun schuur staat een klein datacentrum. Door gebruik te maken van de restwarmte daarvan, daalden hun energiekosten met omgerekend 379 euro per maand.

Fellow #Brits, we live in the 6th richest๐ค country in the WORLD๐, so where is all that ๐คmoney๐ค going?
It's *not* going to #immigrants or #AsylumSeekers, or to #disabled folk, people on #benefits, or to ordinary working people.
It's going to the #Billionaires, who use the newspapers, media, and TV stations they own, to convince us to turn on each other. ๐ฎ ๐ข
Stand together against the #SuperRich๐ค! We are not #enemies, we are on the same side. ๐

Een Brits bedrijf is op zoek naar een kattenoppas voor kantoorkat Jerry. De oppas moet de Britse korthaar verse melk geven, het dier verzorgen, met 'm spelen en elke vrijdag klassieke muziek afspelen. Wat dat schuift? Omgerekend tussen de 77 en 118 pond per uur.

I admire the UK Government's belief in our frugality skills, but please learn the phrase "social murder".
https://www.open.edu/openlearn/people-politics-law/social-murder-the-realities-better-regulation-contemporary-britainYes, even the Labour politicians and affiliates. Yes, even whichever party you consider to be the "good ones" or the "smart ones".
Hierarchies are baked into every social institution.
There's nothing wrong with wanting a simple life, or wanting to incentivise certain behaviours from other people.You can choose to preserve and uphold everyone's human rights at any time. We have more than enough resources for everyone, regardless of #DeGrowth, global limits, or current misallocation.

And now, I have to figure out how to make an eVISA account.
The UK Government sent me an email, as it is wont to do.
"If you did not receive this email directly from the Home Office, it may not be possible to create your account or view your eVisa yet.
Dear Sir/Madam,
We have previously contacted you to take action to create a UKVI account and access your eVisa.To do this, go to https://www.gov.uk/get-access-evisa to get access to your eVisa.
Your biometric residence permit (BRP) will expire on [redacted]. To prove your immigration status after this date you will need to replace your BRP with an eVisa, which is free and easy to do. The expiration of your BRP card does not affect your immigration status.
Your BRP will not be replaced when it expires. You should take action to create a UKVI account and access your eVisa before your BRP expires, so you can continue to prove your immigration status easily.
If you have already completed all of the steps to create your account and access your eVisa, you can ignore this message.
What you need to do nowYou need to set up access to your eVisa, which will replace your BRP.
You will need:
your BRP number (or visa or immigration application number)
your passport (if you do not have a BRP)
access to an email address and phone number
access to a smartphoneGo to https://www.gov.uk/get-access-evisa to get access to your eVisa.
Got a question?To watch a video on how to create a UKVI account and access your eVisa go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2LYfUNTiEo.
For more information about eVisas and to get help creating your UKVI account, visit: https://www.gov.uk/evisa.
Already have an eVisa or another physical document?Go to https://www.gov.uk/evisa for more information on how this change will affect you. Other physical documents include things like a certificate of entitlement of right of abode.
Legal representative, or an immigration application advisor?If you are a legal representative or advisor and used your email address for client immigration applications, please ignore this message. We will provide more information later this year.
Stay updatedFor the latest eVisa information visit https://www.gov.uk/evisa, and sign up for updates. This page will be regularly updated throughout 2024."
I followed the linked process (after checking it wasn't a scam).
I reached a feedback loop so I asked the help desk.

"Life in the UK Test , Question 16 of 24: What percentage of the work force are women?
50%, 40%, 60%, or 30%.
Incorrect
Women in Britain today make up about half of the workforce. On average, girls leave school with better qualifications than boys. More women than men study at university."Guess what I answered and they said was correct.
Did you know?!
The UK Home Office (or maybe the DWP? Idfk) recorded my fingerprints before I could get my Biometric Residence Permit.
No notice that this would happen; my employer told me when they called to explain why they couldn't pay me or offer more shifts.
They didn't already have my fingerprints because I have never intentionally broken a law.
They stopped my employer from giving me any more shifts at uni until I paid ยฃ130 I didn't have for the privilege. Got my pay eventually.
There was no fucking choice if I wanted to remain here legally.
And then the BRP share codes became a requirement in years since.
My prospective employer kindly let me know mid-paperwork following successful interview.
The story continues...! ๐#ShootMeNow #UK #England #Brits #British #English #Naturalisation #Citizenship #UnitedKingdom #Brexit #Immigrants #WeGetTheJobDone #Migrant #Emigrant #ExPat #Travel #Passport #BRP #BiometricResidencePermit

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been obsessing over a peculiar topic:
#Skills (& things) that have been introduced & then lost, just to be reintroduced anew later.
Like gutters.
The #Romans had them, showed them to the #Brits & they promptly forgot about them. Then the #Normans reintroduced them.
There are so many of those things & I wonder which we will rediscover soon!
