Only with military service. That said, the Panama canal & Greenland invasions should be quick, relatively painless affairs. Not like pounding sand in Iraq under the previous Republican Regime.

Derived from Petroleum.

 

The term Petroleum has been derived from two Latin* words 'petra' and oleum'. The Latin word petra means 'rock' and the Latin word oleum means 'oil'.

 

Probably came into use to distinguish it from other oils in use at the time such as whale oil.

 

 

Please feel free to enquire of any other proper English useage/spelling.

 

*English literally has an English, a German a Latin and a French word for many things.

Thanks for the lesson. Put petroleum in your tank then.

We do, as petrol, but we would have trouble putting gas in our tank (other than in a closed high pressure system) as it is, well, gaseous, at normal temperatures.

No its gasoline. A component of petroleum aka oil. Like kerosene, benzene, naptha, etc.

 

But I digress. If you misname basic chemicals, how can you justify Hadrians Wall as queer?

Perhaps he wants Greenland so he can give it to his boyfriend Vlad for Valentine's Day.

Greenland played a large role in the US's Cold War strategy, and probably is still used for monitoring the sea passages.

Is this analysis accurate.?

I always trust any analysis from a website called "spiked-online.com"

 

Obviously a trustworthy source of news for sexual predators who need to stay up on the latest roofie technology.

 

Arrrgh, that's so dumb. 🍌 😭

Well hey there fellow American speakers. Looks like your little Island, that once ruled the world (quite well I may add) is truly becoming a Socialist Hellhole. Is this analysis accurate.?

That being said, Englishcismen, would you consider leaving your/Their/Zir once proud (trigger warning: nationalism) nation for the greener shores of American?. You almost speak our language. 

You kidding? No way would I want to wander about all day wearing a Hawaiian shirt, trousers at half-mast, a bootlace tie, belt with huge buckle, white socks and big black shiny shoes. All the while talking in a big loud voice. Have I missed anything from the qualifications for being a good spam?

Cultural Marxist attempts of destroying Traditional loyalties

 

According to HESA (Higher Education Staff Statistics: UK 2022/23 | HESA) on December 1, 2021, the number of non-EU nationality academic staff (in British universities) rose by 11% on the previous year to 40,195, accounting for 17% of the total. For the first time, this figure exceeded the number of EU nationality academic staff which stood at 37,585.

The number of academic staff who declared their ethnicity as White fell by 1% in 2022 while the number of Black academic staff rose by 18%.

 

In the 2022/23 academic year, 26% of students at UK universities were international. This was the tenth record high in a row.

There were 758,855 overseas students studying at UK universities, 95,505 of whom were from the EU and 663,355 from outside the EU. The top sending countries for overseas students were India, China, and Nigeria (International students in UK higher education - House of Commons Library).

 

The history taught in British schools and universities is increasingly written by academics born and raised in former British colonies, for an audience of students who also come, in growing numbers, from the former colonies.

I guess the same applies to American schools and universities.

We'd have to dumb down our spelling.

That was my first thought, too, except your colours will not be our colors and your draughts will not be our drafts.

There is just no way I could bring myself to spell Sulphur as Sulfur.
