Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!
For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don't do that here. It doesn't help to make you better laborers.
And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:
Damn that picture is pissing me off lol
Imagine what Native Americans must think of such depictions.
Well if they wanted to tell their side of the story, they should've won.
Not our fault they didn't invent guns or a bunch of diseases by domesticating livestock in population centers!
I think it pisses them off too
For First Thanksgiving?
Most of that is believed to have happened or is so cloaked in mythos that any version is likely to be true if you're talking the American version.
Source, native. The women being there is the thing that's least likely to be true.
Nearly all of what historians have learned about one of the first Thanksgiving comes from a single eyewitness report: a letter written in December 1621 by Edward Winslow, one of the 100 or so people who sailed from England aboard the Mayflower in 1620 and founded Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. William Bradford, Plymouth’s governor in 1621, wrote briefly of the event in Of Plymouth Plantation, his history of the colony, but that was more than 20 years after the feast itself.

I'm interested in how Americans pronouncebourgeois.
as long as the French get offended by the pronunciation, then it's pronounced correctly in American
Burgers
Boogers please. We ain't no uppity frogs.
"job creators"
I'm actually something of a job creator myself. Last week at the grocery store I didn't return my cart to the coral. They had to pay someone to go out and bring it in!
We just say bourgeois
I personally pronounce it fahrenheit
Boo shwa zee
I pronounce it bore-zhwah. Is that wrong?
Feel like that's as correct as we can get, as Americans.
French pronounce the "ou" as is "tour". But you do you.
Tour as in tu- er or tore? I've heard it pronounced both ways here in the states
Whoa what? I've never heard anyone pronounce tour as tu-er. At that point you might as well slap an umlaut on that bad boy
Bore rhymes with tour.. no?
Bore rhymes with tore. Tour is closer to sewer
I've never heard anyone pronounce "tour" as rhymes with "sewer" in English. Perhaps in other languages?
Closer to sewer, or "doer" or "fewer". Compress it to one syllable. Think "ooh" not "ohh".
Maybe you're pronouncing sewer in thinking of a person who sews instead of sewer as in waste drainage.
Drainage system = soo-er
Person who sews = soh-er
Exploring a place, with or without a guide = tohr
That's typically how I hear those pronounced. Idk, I get the sense that some think I'm trying to correct the OP when I'm just trying to figure out how the hell something is pronounced.
Nah don't get it wrong I get shit because I say tour instead of tore. Poem instead of pOh-ehm. Theatre instead of thee-ate-err
In most American dialects and some British dialects, "bore" and "tour" rhyme (called the "pour-poor merger"). But in some dialects it may rhyme with "sewer"/"two-er" or have the same sound as in "blue" or even as in "were".
Aha. See, that explains the disconnect. Thank you.
A more aggressively American pronunciation would be bore-ge-oh-is.
'Boojz wah', or if I'm feeling silly bourguignon. But I'd probably be more likely to use 'middle class' instead of the French.
Bourxjeauxaseaux
Borzshwah
I and anyone I've heard say the word says it the same as the English pronunciation in this random video I found searching for how to pronounce it. For whatever that small sample size is worth.
Me when the science teacher says the earth is round /s
this is gonna be texas in about 3 weeks at this rate
Reminds me of this scene in the big short:
I thought Jews were supposed to think critically about religion. After all, that's why Yahweh keeps the devil around, to question them.
my teacher last year was like this
