I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Not long ago, you had the title "Valmy is practically French".  Now, you are a British.  I am: confused.   :P

British as Stephen Fry and corgi.

Also increasingly doubtful Yi's a native speaker :P

Edit: Also this reminds me of the NYT correspondent's valedictory to London. In the normal comments about our manners she told a story of convincing a British friend at a party to introduce himself to someone else at a party as an American would (walk up to them and say something like 'hi/nice to meet you, I'm x'). The other person responded 'is this some sort of a joke?' :lol:

I'm not a native speaker.  My crib language was Korean.

But I do know "I am sat" is ebonics.

same, but I was answering with what I thought they wanted, just as a Brit would.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Duh!  :rolleyes:  No one says "I am sat."

Brits do, however, say "you are sat."  They also say weird stuff like "Rolls-Royce are introducing their new car today."

Apparently, Valmy is actually William the Conqueror.  Which means, of course, that he's actually neither French nor British, but Norse.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
