re: #425 Dr Lizardo
I think this is what you’re referring to.
Yep, knew it was one of those two. I read those two and cracked everyday during breakfast. MF has some thought provoking things too. Read one about why our accents differ from the Brits. I am a mini linguistics nerd. I told my Dad to listen to how his Irish friend responds to a yes or no question.
The Irish won’t respond with yes or no, it’s usually yes or no with an explanation since there is no word in the Irish language for no. Even though the Irish have spoken English for generations now, they still have this habit.
