I have eight years of tax returns to complete, with nearly zero records and its possible I'll be pinched red handed falsely claiming the emergency benefits promoted a few years ago. My boss said she'll do my three last years to obtain a crucial information number to work as a tax preparer, and saw the benefits claimed. I am sure she's gonna rat me out.
Brits, are you ready to send your soldiers to fight and die so that Russia would never grab two Ukrainian regions of Voronezh and Rostov?

At a railway station, a thousand miles past Brest, our train stopped short, then we saw the two standing. A man with his son, whose hair had been shaved, and we knew where his son was going.
The sons are leaving, are not even fully grown yet, are born long after the last war. But the man surely still knows how the bread of war smelled, perhaps he has lost his father then.
He gave him a pipe and a red ruble bill, poured some vodka into his dry throat. Went with a heavy peasant step, on the worn path to the houses we saw in the distance.
The sons are leaving, are not even fully grown yet, are born long after the last war. But the man surely still knows how the bread of war smelled, perhaps he has lost his father then.
And ask him if he needs your London, your Dortmund, your Rome, and your Bremen. He returns a curse, and the bitterness in his eyes shouldn't offend the one who asked.

In school we were sometimes made aware of the differences between American and British English, but not much emphasis was put on it. We were told, however, to always stick to either one and don't mix. Of course that's exactly what I've done since then. When I have to look something up, I usually decide to use the American version, though. Because I feel American English is more ubiquitous and more standard, it seems more normal to me.
Do you consciously use either British or American English?

Euro english includes very small changes in vocabulary and grammar that are not incorrect, but uncommon among native english speakers.
This phenomenon (substratum influence on widely spokem second languages) happens anywhere in which a large percentage of a population speaks another language as L2. This occurs in all languages, not just English.
I have heard that Russians can tell a central asian who learned Russian as a second language from a native Russian speaker. Again, this isn't a bad thing, but merely a new development in a language.

I have a weird hobby: I like to listen to obscure military or political songs on YouTube and read what they're about. My favourite are pro-Irish songs about the British occupation of (Northern) Ireland, but I also enjoy communist and sometimes even Nazi songs.
>Originally written by Sean McGinley from Castlefin, County Donegal, the song tells the story of the 1973 escape of three Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) prisoners from Dublin's Mountjoy Prison. On Hallowe'en, an IRA member hijacked a helicopter and forced the pilot to fly to Mountjoy where the three prisoners, JB O'Hagan, Seamus Twomey and Kevin Mallon, were lifted by helicopter from the exercise yard of Mountjoy Jail's D Wing at 3.40pm. The incident was a major embarrassment for the government.

>In 1931, the miners and the mine owners in southeastern Kentucky were locked in a bitter and violent struggle called the Harlan County War. In an attempt to intimidate the family of union leader Sam Reece, Sheriff J. H. Blair and his men, hired by the mining company, illegally entered their home in search of Reece. Reece had been warned and escaped but his wife, Florence, and their children were terrorized. That night, after the men had gone, Florence wrote the lyrics to "Which Side Are You On?" on a calendar that hung in their kitchen. She took the melody from a traditional Baptist hymn, "Lay the Lily Low", or the traditional ballad "Jack Munro".
How gay is it to own a Prius and live in it? With $1.72/L petrol prices, I think this may be a good option to save money on both insurance and at the pump by ripping the back seats out, tossing in a simple mattress and calling it a day.
