Because it's GAELIC! And people don't know the full history of ENGLAND so they don't understand how much GAELIC there is IN THE US!!!
Sincerely, a historian.

Pretty much any town outside the Twin Cities area that's not an Anglo-American name. The number of people that don't know how to say Wayzata, Shakopee, Minnehaha, and Sioux Falls is abominable. Don't even get me started on Mille Lacs or Bemidji.

I genuinely do not take advice from a company who sources their history using AI.

I traveled overnight back from Virginia earlier this year and it was wonderful. The train was about half full, everyone was quiet, and I just did homework and slept with my headphones on. But today's trains are a far cry from the 90s when I used them more regularly.

I keep putting it off because I can't decide between all my options 😂 I do my hair myself and the piercing/tattoos would both be in the same price range - maybe I'll roll a D20 or pull a tarot card about it 😏

I'm inspired to dye my hair again...maybe add another nose ring to my collection, a couple tattoos...

Very valid! Honestly, I could see a case for either reading, depending on larger context and more writing samples from this person. Seeing this in a medical file as "underdeveloped stunted growth" seems just as likely as "underdeveloped short w prom ____" Silly note takers!

"Hard pass" is not a noun, it's a descriptive action, an adjective/verb combination that denotes a firm rejection something proffered, either explicitly or implicitly.

Historically false. Nicely tried, though.

I have literally never heard any New Englander say "primmer." Were you born in the 1600s?

I literally wrote a whole master's thesis in literary scholarship and not one academic or literary scholar ever said "primmer." Not even the British ones.

What are you, a 400 year old British man?

The first word appears more like "short w" instead of "stunted." The break, space, and lack of d structure leads me to read it as two separate words/indicators. The word others are reading as "growth" I see as a shortened "prominent" and an abbreviation that I can't decipher.
