Evidence for why we know the New Testament writers told the truth.

[dafydd]

[nitpick] Well, there were native Americans here since God-knows-when, Europeans first visited the site of what would become San Antonio in 1619, and the city was founded in 1718. Maybe it doesn't quite measure up to sometime BCE, or 600 or 900 or whenever your place was settled, but there was stuff going on here long before Jim Bowie and Davie Crockett. [/nitpick]

But they weren't speaking English. Double nitpick.

Whyever is this not in Forum Community section of the site...

Because this thread is all things to all men (and women).

Neither was your lot.

Triple dog nitpick.

Dude, I'm all over the New testament writers being full of it, but she did "triple-dog nit-pick" you. And though she did so before the two middle rounds, by the rules of the playground you are required to answer or forfeit the game.

I just read the rules. I don't make them up.

It seems our Royal Horsiness is correct on this point Dafydd.

From the British Library site:

Until the start of the eighteenth century the vast majority of the population of Wales spoke Welsh, although many would have had regular contact with English. It is surprising to think then, that Welsh English as we know it today is actually a younger variety than the English spoken in the USA.

Ah well, we may have started speaking Wenglish after the 'murricans, but we appear to have mastered it, they on the other hand can't even say 'nuclear'!

Case closed m'lud.

ps. and they don't know what a 'cwtch' is. Hah.

I can, see? New-clee-are.

Unless there's some secret meaning known only to the Welsh I do now. Thanks - I love etymologies.

Cwtching. One of the best free pleasures of life. Dubya Bush hated tourists. He was always on about the war against "tourism." He also seemed to think that he was a pubic wig. "My fellow merkins."

I think that one goes back to LBJ, and maybe farther.

You can't fool me. I've seen the Simpsons.

Hah, it's 'New-clee-er', that's how it's pronounced in Upper Abercwmbach.

I thought it was horses you liked, not insects!


eta: I checked the Urban Dictionary definition and it's the closest I've ever seen. The best way to put 'cwtch' into English is to describe it as, the warm, comforting cuddle you'd get off your mam/dad when you were a child.



Oh DOC, we're missing you. After a little 'squirmish' with a few of the other fundies here, I most certainly am.

I believe that LBJ hailed from the same state as Dubya, the state where even the babies carry guns.

You betcha! I have six at home right now (all under lock and key.)

Regardless of the political affiliation of the speaker, I've never understood this thing about basing an assessment of people's intelligence on how they pronounce a word. I know lots of very smart kids who have a much bigger reading vocabulary than a speaking one.

Besides, I bet you can't even say Huitzilopochtli.

I'll bet you can't say Llanystumdwy.

No, I think that's how German is pronounced, but you have to clear your throat more at the same time you're talking

You keep your babies under lock and key? That's what I call strict.

No. Strict is when she takes their guns away.

Eh, thats not nice! I protest the Verhohnepiepelung of the deutsche Sprache!

Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut und Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid.

There, try saying that very quick and several times, and let's see how far you get

ETA: And english is all wrong anyways. I mean, come on. That's a language which originated in a country where they constantly drive on the wrong side of the road. How are such people supposed to come up with a proper language anyways. Hehe...
