I heard Tom McTague mention a somewhat strange idea in an interview with Paul Morland, that if England had *won* the Hundred Years war, we would probably all be speaking French right now.

'you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me'

I recommend this. Owen Lamont is worth reading, worth following.

I grew up in Texas saying 'Coke' and my wife grew up in Oregon saying 'Pop'. We both just realized that we now say 'Soda' but don't remember when or why it happened...

I find the gag of referring to “me from the past” or “future Dave” as if they were a different person to be really funny.

Funnier than I should, if I’m honest.
