What do forum members (more particularly the women) think of this?

[teamsaint]

Sexist stuff is all around us, as is lots of other -ist stuff.
Much of it is fostered by those with powerful interests to divert attention from what the vast majority of us REALLY need, which is identification with a class struggle.

We ALL suffer from the artificial shortages of work, housing, transport etc, as well as diminishing wages and pensions. Those things originate from those at the top.

Anyway, I have made Maître Caliban appear to be a right-on bloke. Even if he is a lawyer.

He's spending a lot of time on this sub forum recently.

Allegedly.

There were?

Here are just a few:

And bloody hard work it is too!

Possibly

Unlike "Rumsteack" - one of the most ludicrous words in French https://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=e...w&ved=0CB4QsAQ

Although being a 'Rosbif' (one of the other most ludicrous words <yikes>) it's not totally irrelevant...

Not if he was Jewish.

Saltbif rather than Rosbif, alors...

Not all -ist stuff is necessarily suspect. You can be a HIPPist or a traditionalist without facing a legal challenge.

No attempt - it's an interesting relic of the Westminster pronunciation, which differs (particularly in the way exemplified) from both Italianate Latin as found (where Latin is found at all) in Catholic Churches, and the reconstructed Classical pronunciation found (where Latin is found at all) in academic institutions.

Yes, I know, but I couldn't resist posting that anyway!

Disgusting I grant you.

(But how do you know it's not mine?)

Because you're not an "interesting relic" of anything, jean! Interesting, of course, but...

HIPP English pronunciation of Byrd/Tallis Latin is an ear-opener.
Ave Verum Corpus becomes "Ayvee vee-rum corperss". Odd bits this pronunciation have remained in the language, e.g. Jesu is usually pronounced as Jeezyoo, rather that Yayzoo.

I thought that "Ave" was supposedly pronounved "Oy-Vay" but one learns something new every day...

And a feminist, of course.

Only in Birmingham.

Being an apologist can get you into trouble, if you overdo it.

You don't want to fall into that trap, and end up being a Trappist.

Incidentally, on the rare occasions that I read a "newspaper", i find that the biggest improvement over the years has been the introduction of those little photos of the jourmalists.

I Wonder if london photo booths have a "broadsheet journalist" setting ?
