I wonder if colorblind people read Colorado as just ado

@CowperKettle There's much Colorado about that for nothing.

@userr2684291 That comes with the culture, I guess

I used to be like that. Old man Logan plays in the background

Your English is great!

^ See, now I'm no longer like that

Hmm, maybe I should put the caret before the text.

Better. My joke is great.

@ColleenV It looks like they wrote a title and modified it to a degree that the original sentence wasn't there anymore

@userr2684291 I'm sure there are some Brits other Brits would have trouble understanding

But how likely is an NNS from Iran to adopt such accents?

And I told you, it wasn't the accent. I couldn't even figure out the accent

It was like the first sound film was recorded on a crappy CD for a century and now you try to play the CD with a gramophone

Q: The use 'revenge' in "The poor murdered girl must be revenged."

The poor murdered girl must be revenged. I saw the sentence in the dictionary on my cellphone. I doubt the use of 'revenged' in that sentence and I think it should use 'avenged' instead because, as I know, 'revenge' can't take a direct object (as in "she vowed to revenge her brother's death....

word-usage

I don't think a murdered girl is financially troubled anymore, but that's just personal opinion

> After a battle, a badly wounded sailor gets the major part of his willie removed. The nurse bandages the wound and sees the letters "..ea", a remainder of a tattoo.
- Was this a girl's name, sailor? Andrea? Alexea, probably?
- Well.. no. It was "Greetings to the sailors of the Baltic from the sailors of Crimea"

(a Russian WWII joke)
