oh please, it’s not just Britain. We in India have no use whatsoever for Shakespeare and his high-and-mighty language but a lot of us are forced to study his works for four years. Our teacher goes over every single line one by one, explaining the meaning and getting us to write the whole book in simple English. What we actually learn are fancy curse words like “thou deboshed fish”, “pied ninny” and “thou scurvy patch”.
As Caliban once said to Prospero: “You taught me language and my profit on’t is, I know to curse.”
I had a hard, hard time sorting through The Bard in high school and college because the point of reading him was not to enjoy the experience but to regurgitate what I read onto a test paper.
Somehow, graduate school was different because we were allowed to talk about . . . GASP! Ideas.
I find it fascinating that some of the most creative and beautiful adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays have come out of India.
I, too, have derived some small practical benefit. I feel quite confident that I can tell a hawk from a handsaw.
I was reading all this messages and I was thinking: what about having our own badges, we win a k-hottie every time hahaha
The fan in me come with that idea hahaha

you might want to try canva.com or pixlr.com since Gimp only works with raster graphics and is a little old-fashioned Both the above sites have a wonderful editing tools that make everything a lot easier!
Hmmm . . . a case of nepotism here. Clearly Discobot has managed to get some relative a job. And has casually let it leak that there is an anniversary party that the Badgers will have to pay for.
Correction.
Is it not always the maknae who ends up having to do that?
Sigh. And me with no Bitcoin in any of my accounts.
