The funniest about this is that I once watched a video on interesting languages to learn and they were like “this language is super interesting because you spell everything the same as you pronounce it”… yeah like any normal language?
You leave potatoes out of this. They are literally the food of gods and glorious when fried!
Edit: I grew up on a farm next to a small river in Minnesota called Pomme de Terre. And due the light sandy soil, it was excellent for growing pomme de terres and sugar beets.
Honestly, the original question was a good one. That snarky reply in the original picture was pretty douchey. There’s a lot of interesting history behind linguistics.
Actually the Normans, who were Vikings who rocked up in France and caused such a stink that the crown granted them lands in the north to shut them up. 1066 was basically a succession crisis between three cousins vying for the English crown.
The French, whenever you see an English word and none of the letters make sense, we stole it from the French.
yet another reason to hate the fr*nch 🤢
What? I thought it was the main one.
French bashing is overdone and unfunny
39 people disagree apparently, not counting me. Humour is subjective after all. If anything, forcing your humour to others is even more overdone imo.
i dont rly care, just saying that its rly annoying and fucking dumb
Well I don’t care about your opinion either. We have so much in common 🥴
Why do you keep answering then
I may not care about your opinions, but I do care about getting that message to you. It’s called communication btw

I hate English.

Literally said how its spelt though? Am I missing something?
Прерогатива. More spelling for you.
C’est la vie
C’est la vie
C’est la guerre
C’est la pomme de terre
Guerre and pomme de terre are both feminine too, so you’d use la
ah ok i will go fix it
Don’t tell me what to use.
I love that ABBA song!
Ceci n’est pas une pipe
Avec la pomme de terre on fait les frites 🍟
This is why they’re called FRENCH fries. Because we’re speaking French.
