Blackfeet is an anglicization. And blackfoot isn't?

Damn whippersnappers are gettin' too damn lazy...

Maybe more of an indication of wealthy inequality

anglicise (third-person singular simple present anglicises, present participle anglicising, simple past and past participle anglicised) (non-Oxford British spelling)

1. (transitive) To make English, as to customs, culture, pronunciation, spelling, or style.

2. (transitive) To dub or translate into English.

3. (transitive) To become English.

The first definition was applied to distinguish between the translation and the modified translation. We don't think of people as having foot, we think of them as having feet … excepting footfootfoot of course.

Y'know, I make a meager living correcting words written by other people, and I'm pretty darned good at it, but this shit . . .

third-person singular simple present anglicises, present participle anglicising, simple past and past participle anglicised

??? I got nuthin'. Furthermore, I couldn't diagram a sentence to save my sweet patootie.





Because, seriously, WTF?

Sure would take a lot of paper to print a book like that.

When I was in 7th and 8th grade we did a shit-ton of this work. I was actually getting pretty solid on it, at which point I never looked at diagramming again. I can barely write a sentence anymore. I remember the book we were using, mostly because my buddies' older brother cut his in half with a band saw and told him he never wanted to see him bringing school work home again.
