They're all presented through British accents and it's ruining the whole presentations. Every single one of them. It, and their tautology, and their superfluous dramatics make them sound retarded. People with doctorates sound retarded each with their contrived speech impediment. It makes me want to slap them. . American pronunciation is rare. Apparently Egyptology is not a favorite American pursuit. They are not well represented in any of these videos. That's discouraging. When American accent appears it goes, "ding" in a mud swamp of mangled garbled pronunciation with emphatics in all the wrong places, R's removed and redistributed at random. <br /><br />As for politics, my annoyance has become acute even when it's someone I enjoy saying sensible things explosively with attractive swears like Milo Yiannopoulos, the Jew. <br /><br />Psych! You thought I was going to say British gay. <br /><br />Primarily because it's none of their f'k'n biz wax even though they insist is so because of globalization. They mean by that globalization of their private obsession. And Milo is playing a game, he's jumping in for his own self aggrandizement, so too Farange, having a ride on our political system and profiting best as he can. I'm not saying his contribution has no value, I'm saying he's annoying as all the rest in the same way for the same reasons. <br /><br />Even him, with his "medier" for media, and "lore" for law, and loreyer for lawyer, and his "God" for guard, and vise versa, and "Americer" for the subject under discussion, and on and on "terrortrees" "dinisties" "yeës" "scoopion" "phayrahs" "litrahlee" "Nahmah" (Narmer) "hahves" (halves) "ehliest" (earliest) "bean" (been) "befoo" "dinisty" "dinisty" "dinisty" "dinisty' over and over and over and over and over and over end over end over end over Andover Andover Andover until your head explodes. It ruins everything because they sound straight up retarded. <br /><br />Like this, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBZUaYhfgTc&t=1s" rel="nofollow">Alabama rehab</a> shown at Ace a few days ago, "Alabamer" "tequiler" "not a part of my laugh". <br /><br />Weren't you impressed with video of how English sounds at the time of Shakespeare, how close it comes to standard American English? <br /><br />Something happened along the way with British English similar to Castilian Spanish that resulting from the integration of Arabic and related forms of Mozarabic dialect affecting the Spanish coronal fricative, its ceceo, the shift from s̄ to θ, theta, the voiceless dental non-sibilant fricative. Falsely attributed to King Alfonzo’s speech impediment. Because it sounds retarded. And it feels retarded when your Chilean Spanish professor insists, yes, this is the proper pronunciation. <br /><br />I posit, American English is truer to the English and that’s obvious by the printed word, and obvious when British sing, where for clarity they sing properly and enunciate their R’s and place them correctly proving they know how to do it but instead, like the French, decided all those extra letters aren’t necessary after all if you just place emphasis on the spots where they’re missing. Laziness, vocalized retardation on a national scale.

It's really the logical fallacy of appeal to authority, but the authority is just some other guy with a keyboard and his own common human issues of bias, and laziness with delusions of insight and understanding, which he acquired by believing someone else doing the same thing. Bullshit gets spread by everyone who touches it. Then when everyone smells the same, it's called a consensus. Meanwhile the original claim was never even vetted, or challenged. Everyone down the line just assumes it was by some earlier bullshitter. bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-8938156575808802292016-12-17T11:12:29.328-05:002016-12-17T11:12:29.328-05:00I'm reminded of this Paglia rant, where she po...I'm reminded of this Paglia rant, where she points out that it is men who have built things and made modern life.
