What are some ways that people who speak languages other than English joke about the English language, the way it’s spoken, the way it sounds, the pronunciation of words, the conjunction of verbs, etc.?

Has remaining part of the United Kingdom helped or hindered its growth and development in any discernable way?

A Christmas Der Der tube is played by placing the tube over the lips and shouting out - der der - da der der - der der. A experienced Der Der tube player can achieve a reverb sound by gently and rapidly karate chopping their neck while saying - der der - da der der - der der. Cheers and happy weekend! less

Have we begun the seven year tribulation precedeing the return of our lLord Nd Savior Jesus. . are we watching the beginnings of a one world order and one world religeon spoken in the Holy Bible. Is the book of Revelation unfolding in real time. Are you right with God your maker. The Bible is accurate and an inspired word of God our creator. Take time to research the bible and prepare to get your minds blown
106F/41C in Adelaide right now, and it's NOT EVEN SUMMER YET!I'm not saying it's hot outside, but a couple of hobbits just threw a ring into my back yard.
On first glance, I did not realize Stipe is simply looking down. I thought those were the whites of his eyes.

** And, to Slartibartfast -- in case you see my question here -- I'm with you ALL the way on that one portion of King's "IT" novel -- that one sequence in that book ruined the entire novel for me. It goes far beyond trying to be scary. Terribly, terribly sick to me. And I've never gotten over it. **

Explanation: three times within the past week, I have posted something here that a few days later was referenced on the television game show “Jeopardy!” Its beloved host, Alex Trebek, passed away 19 days ago (November 8, 2020) at the age of 80; he had hosted the show for 38 years, and I have been an avid fan of the show for at least 35 years. Suffering from pancreatic cancer, Alex Trebek knew for months that it was terminal, and he was in a lot of pain, yet chose to keep working on the show as much as he could. Just two weeks prior to his death, he pre-recorded enough episodes to last until the end of December 2020. It is those pre-recorded episodes that are airing now. Some people believe in coincidences, some do not. Is this a mere coincidence?~ less
