Isn't Latin required in the British Curriculum?

Also Welsh is classified as a Vulnerable Language, so far from dead.

[-] EdanGrey@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Latin is not required no

Man, what a knobhead. While I suspect that plenty of welsh voters voted to maintain the language, I bet that most of the votes are from non-brits who voted to maintain it just to piss this jackass off.

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

Absolutely.

I'm no fan of the way Welsh language education is implemented either, but it's massively frustrating when an English-centric viewpoint is masquerading as a UK-wide voice starts trapping off about things they clearly know next to fuck all about. I'd vote the same way.

Probably a lot of non-Welsh Brits as well, I would have done the same. Welsh is a gorgeous language and more alive than it has been in my lifetime.

I'd like it if this OP would learn the difference between seen and saw and their proper use myself.

[-] Pogbom@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I was gonna say the same but I realize it's no different from saying "Just saw...."

In both cases you're just removing a word: "[I] just saw" vs. "[I've] just seen". Makes it a bit more palatable haha.

If only the asked them to manually fill out a survey then all answers couldnbe disregarded as ineligible

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hey, Welsh people, a suggestion. Do this survey on the streets and invite whoever answers wrong to a free stay at the 20 Bars hotel. Problem solved.

When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
