@uncle_deluge Sure, but mishearing was definitely a thing for some languages: my Greek grandfather has papers written by a clerk that say he's meeting someone named "D. Amandyce" in NYC. It took us forever to figure out it was talking about his uncle, whose first name was Diamandis

@booksandbbq I'm a history major in college rn and i am totally unfamiliar with this phenomenon. Why are people calling them novels?? What do they call actual novels?

@bse229 @jacobkornbluh No -- he's saying people are less likely to realize Ossof is Jewish and that might be an advantage for him because of bias against Jews. He's not endorsing the bias

@tabestiescorpio C'est une grande déception de voir le nom de John Tolan ici

@ZFlawles1s That's not a good thing. Mike from PA is a huge antisemite

@bluemilkfilm @agraybee It obligates Israeli reliance on US manufacturers for a lot of things, which is part of why the Israeli right wouldn’t be too broken up over it long term, even if there are short term costs

@RodeoProfessor I hope it’s late 14th century ME because early 14th century is a lot harder to understand imo

@PJ11819211 Lol i just finished reading a book about slavery in medieval islam and it had a whole section about racialized slavery (in this case, the association of slavery with black africans)

This would be true if the purpose of reading was purely utilitarian. No one is looking at maps for anything other than information; people read for a wide variety of purposes, many of which are contingent on the idea that original thought is involved.

@retardmonger @JoeMcCarthyStan it's the hebrew version of gentile. It's usually a little pejorative when used in english, but more like in the "white people amirite" way than actually offensive

@WikiBias @Wikipedia I am a medieval historian who tries to edit pages on medieval middle eastern history (my area of expertise) and regularly see her come in and rewrite articles I've worked on with a palestinian nationalist POV. It is so frustrating that she's considered a reliable editor.

@HenMazzig This post is actually worse than you realize. "It's another Holocaust!" is a meme from alt-right social media: as the (supposed) response Jews/Israel have to being told to "stop doing usury" or other antisemitic tropes
