re: #295 Kruk

So advanced they taught an entire glaxy billions of light years away to speak in 20th Century American English thousands of years ago.

I have a theory about that…

The language that we call 20th Century American English has actually been Galactic Standard Trading Language for millennia. The Asgard, being meddlers, have spent more than a thousand years encouraging first the Norse, and then the people of that big Island the Norse berserked on, to bring their language into line with what the rest of the galaxy was already speaking. (at the same time, the Ancients were helping the Romans to spread Latin across a continent, and the Goa’uld were making sure Aramaic took hold on another large swathe of territory.)
