Many internet-goers like to give pedantry a hard time, but I just want to let you know that I love it and all the niche facts it brings.

Def Bulgaria with toasting knowledge like this.

Buy concert tickets if you want to support musicians, streaming income doesn’t really factor into it afaik.

For trebuchets at least, they were only siege weapons, took a long time to both assemble and fire. Though I must concede they were better than melee weapons for knocking down walls.

Giant, geode, gel, george, gerbil. Just sayin'.

It’s a purely descriptive word, simply weird.

In French (and probably many other languages) first person plural is more polite. People in England started defaulting to “you” as it was a safer bet socially, and “thou” fell out of use.

English also used thorn (þ) before for “th” but printing presses didn’t, and substituted “y”, which I suspect contributed.
