Stupid English querks that Keep Me Awake at night

I've found the reason why Arkansas and Kansas are pronounced differently
Here's Why We Pronounce 'Kansas' And 'Arkansas' Differently

Still don’t see why “sas” is pronounced saw

French fault

Spelling, like querk vs quirk, and I'm sure you meant the latter since the former means to choke someone.

Which these spelling things sometime make me wish to do.

 

[Crepitus]

For the record, most of us in Arkansas don't refer to ourselves "Arkansans".

Just don't come to Kansas and call it the "ar-kan-saw" river. Here it is definitely the "ar-kansas" river.

Eye give up...Y?

The arrogant bastids dragged inferior French words into English, thus corrupting it entirely with a million words for everything, and half of them are not spelled correctly.
I sprechen Anglish mostly and do not care which words are French or Anglish.

Tuff stuff for the noble bastages that have to talk like us vulgar villains.

Some of that Anglo Saxon stuff is barely pronounceable.

Can you say Twyford?

If I recall correctly it's tweeferd.

Fucking Normans should all burn in hell fo this shyte.

You can be pissed at the bastards for more than that. It was the fucking Norman assholes who invented the notion of profanity in an attempt to kill off the native Anglo Saxon language that was prevalent in Britian before and after the Norman conquest. Therefore deficate was acceptable while shit or shyte was deemed to be profane. Same with piss and urinate and many many other words that assholes like to turn their noses up at whithout knowing why and being completely ignorant of it. Actually today such a fucked up notion would be considered politically unacceptable. Yet the very same assholes who condemn so called politically incorrect behavior are the very same ignorant assholes who are the first to condemn so called profanity. Well fuck them.
