conulytell us which civil war.
Damn, I should've saved the post of the last person to ask for one during the English Civil War just so I could prove my point every time I say that to a (probably?) American poster.
Quick, does anybody want to head over to /r/whatsthatbook and make a post trying to find a book set during the English Civil War? Just be sure to not say which civil war, I need an example post to bookmark for my own uses.
This isn't actually prompted by that, but it's a longrunning minor grudge of mine. No, this is prompted by somebody who bought a book in "London" and if you're thinking that it's obvious that anybody from one of those other Londons would tell us that they don't mean the one in England then you are very wrong and you clearly have never interacted with the internet never.

Date: 2024-06-14 10:47 am (UTC)Britain is basically three countries in a trench-coat pretending to be one big one, and if you go back far enough, even those were roughly a half dozen smaller countries (each!) at one point or another. None of those mergers were peaceful and there's still a lot of lingering resentment.
Actually.. it's kind of surprising that America has only had one civil war (so far) all things considered. But then in comparison, they're still a relative newbie.
