BRIEF HISTORY LESSON
Okay, so at the end of World War 1, most of the decisions that were made about what to do with Germany and all it's bitches were made by:
This Guy, Prime Minister David Lloyd George of England
This Guy: President Woodrow Wilson of The United States
And This Guy: Prime Minister of France Georges Clemenceau
Same Page? Same Page? Good. Okay so, for those of you who don't speak French, The Prime Minister of France's last name is basically pronounced Clem-en-co
Alas, my History teacher pronounces it Clem-en-chow, like San Choy Bow. She also pronounces the las 's' in Versailles.
And it get's on my last, damn, nerve.
Myself and many of my friends in the class have constantly tried to slip in the fact that's it's Clem-en-so but no, she really just doesn't pick it up.
Every time she says it now, I just laugh, which results in her just getting annoyed. Because it's not like I'm going to just shout out
"YOU'RE SAYING THE NAME WRONG!! LEARN ABOUT HISTORICAL FIGURES BEFORE YOU TEACH HISTORY!!!"
No, I just simply shake my head. "Nothing."
My goodness, teachers these days.
Now I really want to make San Choy Bow.
Doesn't it look appealing?
Ta ta :)
