#673298 — UK Love Is Blind

FromThe Starmaker <starmaker@ix.netcom.com>
Date2026-09-14 21:47 -0700
SubjectUK Love Is Blind
Message-ID<6AA8CDE5.6B58@ix.netcom.com>
I was watching 
UK Love Is Blind..

but it is differcult
understanding what everyone is
saying because either they talk
stange English and they all seem
to have a French accent???

I don't get it?

I thought UK was in England, but
it sounds like everyone is from France.

What happen? 

I heard somewhere that French people
are a minority in France...so who is doing all the
talking in France???

Maybe UK is not part of Englang, or all the French people
moved to...UK????

I'm sooo confused.

Good thing Netflix has English subtitles.

And the subtitles are in English!

I lucked out, by jove!

btw, I saw Love Is Blind France, but nobody there
seemed to be from France!?!? Or was it Love Is Blind Italy??

What difference does it make, right? Nobody in UK speaks English anyway!

dis rubish vorld is a bloody mess...

i caun't speak english anymore.

No, you got that wrong. 

The UK is not in England; England is in the UK, though perhaps not for
much longer.

Daniel Webster invented the Webster English dictionary to get rid of all
those England/French sounding words like colour to color.

UK needs to read Webster's Dictionary to learn English!

It's an elevator, not a lift.

So?  I'm from Iceland, yet I can teach you nothing about money laundry.
I don't even have a bank account in Panama.

It seems you can benefit from watching /Yes, Minister/.  If nothing
else, you'll learn a lot of complicated verbiage, and enjoy a joke or
three.


Best wishes, and happy Bri'ish TV!

Your command of English seems to be pretty poor. What is your native
language? And why are you bothering to crosspost to a newsgroup where
most regulars are fluent in English?

"fluent in English?"???? No one knows how to speak English at
alt.usage.english!

they are all 'thin on the ground'...(watever dat means)

Let me make it simple for you..

if I don't know and never heard "thin on the ground", it ain't English!


i wouln't say those words to a fat girl.


She's 'thick on the ground' if you ask me...

Maybe you cannot read English!

I wrote at the beginning of this thread: UK Love Is Blind


"I was watching 
UK Love Is Blind..
but it is differcult
understanding what everyone is
saying because either they talk
stange English and they all seem
to have a French accent???"


It's about "strange English".


It's not my fault you have reading comprehensions problems.


>>>>>

but it is differcult
understanding what everyone is
saying because either they talk
stange English and they all seem
to have a French accent???

I don't get it?

I thought UK was in England, but
it sounds like everyone is from France.

What happen? 

I heard somewhere that French people
are a minority in France...so who is doing all the
talking in France???

Maybe UK is not part of Englang, or all the French people
moved to...UK????

I'm sooo confused.

Good thing Netflix has English subtitles.

And the subtitles are in English!

I lucked out, by jove!

btw, I saw Love Is Blind France, but nobody there
seemed to be from France!?!? Or was it Love Is Blind Italy??

What difference does it make, right? Nobody in UK speaks English anyway!

dis rubish vorld is a bloody mess...

i caun't speak english anymore.

Posting to Newsgroups ("Newsgroups" is a plural word meaning more than
one newsgroup") is
not considered trolling, it's called crossposting, stupid!

As you can see, the person who calls himself 'PointedEars'
(atrekkefanatic) could not do

simple third grade math. He's probably one of 'those people' who can
play

any song on the piano but cannot tie his own shoelaces.


Since the average person sleeps 8 hours a day..

In one day that is one third of a day.

So that means in one year, you sleep one third of the year.

3 years equal 3 thirds.


Within the last three years...you were asleep an entire year.


Now, go learn how to tie your shoe laces..

life, he might burn a fuse) (he'll never play the piano again)

Everything You Wanted To Know About Cross-Posting But Were Afraid To Ask

Sometimes, you'll have an issue you think should be discussed in more
than one newsgroup. Rather than posting individual messages in each
group, you can post the same message in several groups at once, through
a process known as cross-posting.


Say you want to start a discussion about the political ramifications of
importing rare tropical fish from Brazil. People who read rec.aquaria
might have something to say. So might people who read
alt.politics.animals and talk.politics.misc.


Cross-posting is easy. It also should mean that people on other systems
who subscribe to several newsgroups will see your message only once,
rather than several times -- news-reading software can cancel out the
other copies once a person has read the message. When you get ready to
post a message , you'll be asked in which newsgroups. Type the names of
the various groups, separated by a comma, but no space, for example:


rec.aquaria,alt.politics.animals,talk.politics.misc


and hit enter. The message will be posted in the various groups (unless
one of the groups is moderated, in which case the message goes to the
moderator, who decides whether to make it public).


It's considered bad form to post to an excessive number of newsgroups,
or inappropriate newsgroups. Probably, you don't really have to post
something in 20 different places. And while you may think your
particular political issue is vitally important to the fate of the
world, chances are the readers of rec.arts.comics will not, or at least
not important enough to impose on them. You'll get a lot of nasty e-mail
messages demanding you restrict your messages to the "appropriate"
newsgroups.

Now sib (and everyones else)

check your newsreader Headings and you should see the word: Newsgroups

it contains the letter  s at the end of the word "Newsgroups", meaning

a plural. meaning to show more than one.

More than one newsgroup.

LEARN ENGLISH!

LEARN TO READ!!


EXPECIALLY  if you are posting from of all places...a  usage.english
newsgroup.


Dou you even know what the word "usage" means????

It means 'using something'! 

Learn to use English

Look again, ...check the speling.

Correct. 

But posting with an attitude of "let's you and him fight" *is*
trolling, and if that is combined with an *abuse* of crossposting,
like posting to a bunch of disparate newsgroups, in most of which the
content is off-topic, such abuse of crossposting is a recognised
symptom of trolling.

A lot of South African women cop an attitude, but you already know dat,
right?

>of "let's you and him fight" *is*

dats Mafia State talk, but you're from a Mafia State, S. Africa, Right?

> trolling, and if that is combined with an *abuse* of crossposting,

"abuse* of crossposting,"???? 

People who only post to one Newsgroups are abusing Usenet, because it
reads: NEWGROUPS meaning post to more than on newsgroup.

What kind of people only post to one newsgroup, pussies? mama boys??

Then when White people are around you say "Hi There ol chap, Are you
