Why am I not surprised.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."
An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.
Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."
According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.
"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."
So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."
I’m thinking they need to be taught reading first. Makes no difference the derivation of words they can’t read in the first place..
Then they can learn about how the English stole everyone ease’s words. ;-)
Who has time to worry about microaggressions when cockroaches exist?
We stole only the words with vowels.
And when they can finally read they could find all the Latin names for bugs. But right now they’re happy with names like ‘icky’, ‘gross’, and such.
That seems to be true. Not too many words from Polish or other languages that tend to string unpronounceable consonants together..
Unless Darks is inventing them.
If everyone studied phonetics, we’d be able to pronounce words without vowels.
Wait, what?
Science, Bob.
Among the most prominent of phonetic languages is shorthand. One does not worry about correct spellings or homonyms; each word is translated into its appropriate sound, in a flowing “script” which resembles a minimalist cursive writing. But vowels are present.
Well, Slavs have to talk somehow!
Why am I not surprised.
I never took shorthand, just typing and accounting.
Shannon has the intestinal gripies. She may throw up. On the other hand, she may just sit around acting mopey until she no longer has a stomachache.
Linus' parting comment is "Good Grief".
Cwm, crwth. Perfectly good English words...
Of course Linus took shorthand. It’s as obvious as Pat’s knowing Greek.
Hmph.
Snoopy was also dictating letters to Woodstock, who noted them down in shorthand.
Woodstock was not entirely reliable however, often succumbing to a collapse as laughter overcame him.
Snoopy also discovered that it was not a good idea to have his secretary read back from the notes.
I took down every word, honest.
The Welsh language is very distantly related to English. The Celtic languages are Indo-European, as are the Germanic and Latin parents of English.
