This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You know it's funny I've been prepping to potentially leave the USA for years but I'd rather learn a different language than go to the UK.

Just do what every other American always does. Go to another country and then berate them for not learning English.

Yes. Gotta love the american stereotype that French people are mean/unwelcoming, because we don’t automatically speak your language, or play along with your game of pretending its completely normal to show up anywhere expecting us to speak your language.

Oh yeah. The french are mean and unwelcoming for totally different reasons.

I pretended not speak English when I got hassled by all the street scammers.

Actually, when I was in Paris in high school, I had the opposite experience - I kept trying to speak French (which I could speak conventionally after 6 years of study), and many people would refuse to answer me in French, instead answering me in English.

It’s cuz people don’t want to suffer through a broken conversation. So if they speak english better than you speak french, they’ll switch to english.

Plus Paris is a super international city, it’s not the most “French” place in terms of language.

That's what happens when europe spends centuries sending their people to another continent to rape and pillage it.

Maybe, but at least they aren't Br*tish.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

I woke up once and I was Br*tish once, I thought I was doomed but then I had a brexit and was normal again.

And the irony is that most Briish people don’t call themselves Briish.
