A Roman walks into a bar and asks for a martinus.
"You mean a martini?" the bartender asks.
The Roman replies, "if I wanted a double, I would have asked for it!"

Another Roman walks into an Aussie bar and asks for fourex beer.
He gets forty glasses.
(if he'd been in England he'd have asked for XL beer, but it's less well known outside of Dudley

I just got some good news and some bad news.
The good news: I will be teaching a class at UT Austin this fall.
The bad news: I have to prepare for the class

Dang it! Should I drop the class now or just bite the bullet and wait for the "F"? 
Congrats. I am sure you will do fine.

SHouting in 17th centry English? Is there a reason?

Ah, OK. You have a particular aversion to 'gotten' then?
Its just archaic English. Often happens in colonies, the culture becomes fossilised.

Which is ofc why you were compelled to reply to the thread talking about it...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Lucky students! Whether or not they know it is a very different story. Hopefully you don't end up with a classroom of idiots.
Congratulations and good luck to you!

Sounds very interesting. Hope this is successful, i.e. that your students learn something that they can use other than a checkbox on the way to a diploma.
