    Your English teacher is as mad as a fish.

    Yorkshire dialect = north of England (Sean Bean as Boromir or Ned Stark). Found in Wuthering Heights/The Secret Garden.

    Moorish dialect = well... The Moors were medieval Muslims from North Africa who conquered much of southern Europe 1300 years ago. To say something is 'Moorish' means you are pertaining to their culture. They influenced the Basque (now a region of France and Spain) language heavily, so if there was a 'Moorish dialect' of anything it would be of Basque (does sound a bit like 'Baroque', admittedly ).

    Nothing Moorish in Wuthering Heights!

    I guess I was lucky in that I was familiar enough with Yorkshire that I didn't notice it in Wuthering Heights or The Secret Garden! lol


    I think I'm off-topic, sorry!

    Fair enough. Some people care about knowing things right, some don't. I'm one of the former and there might be other folk reading who are grateful for the knowledge. From the 0 likes on my post, I think most people here, like you, probably don't care though!

    Depends if you take mad as an insult. A lot of folk just take it as a way of life. And yes Hesty, you too are mad as a fish.

    It is always wonderful to learn. I enjoy reading your posts. I also wholeheartedly support sharing one's knowledge with others. Be that as it may, I didn't click like on your posts because I felt said posts were impolite towards Mister Rannie. I think that is why Mister Rannie said, "I don't care". I am sure you meant all the best, though, M-J-O ol' pal.

    Hey, now, I am a mad hatter, and proud of it, but these fish relatives of mine told me to send words downstream your way. I apologize in advance for any threatening (and quite possibly slimy) messages written on your walls. I also apologize for the crawdad in your toilet. He's like a hitman but of the sea.

    Ah, well Rannie, no offense intended at all to you. Maybe some toward your English teacher's knowledge of English. I blame Abriael anyhow. Thankfully I have my Hestern Moral Compass TM on hand to see me straight.

    "as a fish"

    ---

    Something about a lore book/library in-game, out-of-game and in my lady's chambers.

    I like the FFXIII datalog - something a bit more fantasy-y for FFXIV though? Or maybe the HGttG, as so much is pulled from other literary sources. Though I guess it would be "The Adventurer's Guide to Hydaelyn" Hmm...

    I really want a library of lore...so I can just swim in all the juicy details. Like a fish.
