I just want the map 'o ?ire to carry past the page break. Plus, I like Matty's story.

 

my wife and I just did the ancestry,com thing. My results came back the other day and said that I was 100% awesome.

and 21% British Dan ;D

 

I'd focus on the 79% and be proud of that. Best wishes. Be strong.

 

i am a mutt of the isles with only one grandparent of Ireland, one of Scotland, and two of the queens rotten country.

 

I have a complaint against Penz fans online. I've been hanging around (lurking) in various Caps boards just for entertainment and I'm seeing a lot of "humble brag". STOP! No one wants to hear it especially from fans of the team that is currently burying their team. Let them be miserable, it's a natural aspect in the cycle of win/lose. Thank you!

Thanks, skinny, for digging that up. I think that Old English as written by Chaucer wasn't English (because you can't undestand a fucking sentence) but at least you can make connections to individual words. Sometimes. Anything earlier than that appears no more "English" than what each of us spoke when we were six months old.

I think the language of Shakespeare can be called English. But that may just be on dint if his writing prowess. It's like English with a hangover; "I don't want a hear it!".

So, it would appear as though the language developed between 450 - 750 years ago. I think this fact, plus the fact (uncoincidentally) that this coincides with the great era of conquest and world-discovery*, accounts for English's prodigious vocabulary. (* English has been influenced by 100's of other languages - no language purists as in France to drive out bastardized words.)

There are over 500,000 common words** in English. (** That is not to be taken as commonly understood, but it excludes a huge number of trade & technical terms.) The vast vocabulary provides its speakers 2 or even 3 times as many word choices as most European languages.

 

There are new words added every year, pronounciations changing, in 200 years the language could look a lot different. I hear people in their 70's that use certain words and phrases that haven't been used in years. The younger generation uses a different way of speaking than we did just 25 years ago. A couple of months ago, I heard this one guy in his late 50's saying, "get my drift." If we pay close enough attention we can see it evolving in our own lifetime, not only english, this applies to all other languages as well.
There was a mass Ukraine immigration period in Canada before the Russian revolution in 1917. It was a lot harder for the Ukraines to immigrate here during the soviet communist years.

There was another immigration phase after 1991. There was a lady that told me she went to visit the old ukrainian neighbourhood in toronto, went to the festival. She ran into some old people and they tried having a conversation but had a really hard time understanding each other.

I walked into this place today, they make philly cheesesteaks, the guy working there lived in philly and started making them there in 1989. He said the best place in philly is that place I linked above, good cheesesteak he made, place called sammys.

 

on a list of the top 10 - that place is not on it. i never been there, heard it's good, but on most top 10 philly places, it's not on it. now most people won't agree on a top 10 bc neighborhood joints have their fans from youth till now, which is hard to top. when a neighborhood joint attracts outsiders - that's the winner. delasandro's does that. everyone knows where it is and to go there.

the 2 famous chains of pat's and geno's are basically steak'ums. at 3 am that's fine but there are so many other places in the city to go. i said for years the little lady Maria outside my old office at 16th and Chestnut had the best food cart in the city. Best breakfast and so many choices for lunch. Her lines were long so you had to go bf 12 like at 11:30. Her bacon cheesesteak is up there for me with the best in the city. hell her BLT's were awesome too. Anything she made was killer. That's the 1 part of not working in the city i miss - the food. I work in the suburbs now, so i pack my lunch every day, which is dull and boring.

 

so skinny-if i go back in time, i better pick a period where they understand English? damn! haha.

 

I'm not sure if he said that he used to work there, but that was his opinion. His mom lived in toronto and his dad lived in philly, so he lived with his dad for a while and worked at a cheesesteak joint.

If you concentrate enough, you could understand the old english.

 

a kid i went to HS with but didn't know, opened a pizza and cheesesteak place in Arizona and i heard is killing it. Those places are a dime a dozen here. But sometimes good pizza is hard to find and a top cheesesteak place - even harder.

it's hard to have bad pizza, but i've had it. how do you mess up pizza? it's dough. sauce and cheese? jeez.

there's a hidden gem in south philly called City Pizza and it is awesome! They have a bacon cheeseburger pizza that is to die for. Man, I miss the city. Well, for the food.

 

Good pizza is all in using fresh ingredients, I guess like all other food. There's places that have homemade tomato sauce, other places buy a generic brand that's canned. I know one thing, there is definitely a difference between italian and american pizza.
I've had authentic wood stove oven by imported pizza makers from naples.
Then there's brooklyn with the chicken wings, bacon and cheeseburger It was a bit too over the top for me, but if I was really hungry, I guess I could go for it. I guess there's a line between a pizza and an american fast food fusion. When you tackle a new market you could afford to take chances and a lot of times it works.

 

Olde English is Benny Hill or Monty Python. I have a hard enough time understanding them.

 

it must be hard to eat a pizza without beer. good luck on your continuing sobriety.
