I wait for the new education. What language will we speak in the futurama Obviously language changes and new words arrive and old words fall out of fashion. The English language is the one I am most comfortable with, but it is so vast and adopts so many new words that it is very pliable to a variety of circumstances. How many words are there? No one knows for certain because of the Kingdoms and the Empire's sway over vast parts of the Earth. It was the industrial revolution that made this possible. Will the robots win now, and we will be left snoring all day and enjoying life? I don't know if the tech has advanced as far as artificial emotions but maybe someday R3D2 will have tear ducts. I think the world is run by TV more than anything. Be nice to the photons and sound waves and, heaven forbid, don't bother arguing with it. Channel your inner whatever it is you want to do and remember the "real" world on occasion. It's not newspeak so much as 2025 something. When I was young I had a black and white TV. Eventually we got a color TV then a computer and now I have a phone. The phone seems to be the most versatile way to write and watch and listen to the excess. But I usually trample down a usual path. Usually. Beware of Daleks. Might as well try to enjoy time and the "real" world. Daleks tip over anyway. Glorified trash cans.
Now where was I, reaching out to William Blake and the good people across the pond.
British comedy?
Oui Danke.
Did I lose my fascination? For the continent? Not necessarily, I'm just planning dinner.
Porridge and Brexit again mum.
I hope she continues.
Bach to Anglais. Germanic, Latin, Greek, French, Norse, Celtic, Welsh, Scottish all intermingled in the past. Too much GOT Tolkein? I've never been to Albion but William Blake was a vast influence on my inscriptions and art. He revived manuscript illumination and was an all around eccentric engraver, poet, and artistic genius. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is still a quick read with plentiful images, generally hand carved and printed. They were then " collaboratively painted in by Catherine Boucher? His wife.
