      One can hope, but the polls are looking pretty dire right now.

    Yeah please celebrate. Drink and party over the fact, that you’ve got a supreme court that voted to make presidents king. The current king won’t do anything to stop the next king, and neither will the rest of america. Congratulations you guys!

      I really want to see a video of someone saying ‘all hail king Biden’. Maybe it will wake him up and take action… Or he will roll over and go back to sleep…

      I was at a stupid party full of magas all literally wrapped in the flag…

      They’re electing a guy who will allow project 2025 to be carried out: a “plan” that has been called by members of the foundation that created it “the second American Revolution”

      …the American revolution was to break free from the country that owned it and to become a new country.

      In other words, these people hate America so much they want to make a new one. But yes, wrap yourself in that flag you brainwashed, propaganda filled morons…

      It really is, but it got me too.

      It reminds me of something that would be about relationships and posted to early 2010s tumblr, but patriotic?

    Today we’re preoccupied with getting rid of the Tories – so finally we’ll be able to unite in celebrating 4th July!

    You’re gonna hate reading the declaration of independence. It predates Websters devolution.

    IIRC, it was actually Webster, who was writing the dictionary, decided to simplify spelling

    A large amount of spelling differences between the US and UK like mould/mold and center/center, are due to him

    • FireTower@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      center/center

      I like most of the changes he did but he really should have kept the original with this one.

        Darn autocorrect

        I usually have it disabled, but I’ve been too lazy with the new phone

      I think I remember learning that it was to save on printing (newspapers, etc.), but I haven’t fact checked that.

        I was under the impression it was partially due to him feeling the ‘U’ made the words feel “too French”, and he supposedly really hated the French (apparently he was a bit of a fan of the ol’ racism), but mainly he wanted something new and uniquely American - and English spelling was a even more regional, wild and inconsistent back then, so he hoped to simplify it, bring it some consistency, ideally whilst also telling the French to piss off.

        That is a myth. Nothing to do with that, this was purely Webster.
