@AnjouSeb @CCrowley100 Zatoichi series of movies was excellent for portraying this reality, two or three moves and it was over.

@SJGeorge6 @DrFrancisYoung @suzania True, kinda opposite from the ancient Greeks thinking they were the bottom of the hill down from Golden Age.

@DrFrancisYoung In Canada it used to be the staff stocking the shelves on overnight shifts.

@SJGeorge6 @DrFrancisYoung @suzania Old cultural trope, thinking distant people (eg barbarians) cannot be as human as we are (eg Greeks), but the analytical function has shifted from location/culture to time?

@Myceliumsanity @akafaceUS Wonder if she is German and slipped up by starting fantastisch then realized her mistake.

@DrFrancisYoung @jembloomfield TIL what bottled out means.
Also TIL that I would actually pay money to hear someone attempt to read a book in an attempted Canadian accent.

@JamesMelville I once tweeted that I miss “Czech Republic” and the Czech foreign minister’s twitter staff responded out of nowhere that Czechia is now their official name in English, so I suspect there is heavy lobbying going on, which is to me a whole new dimension in language development.
