... if Alicie and Birchfield were to suddenly be greeted in Russian wherever they went, and had to order in Russian at restaurants. that would be absolutely awful. especially if they don't speak Russian.

i sure hope no one does that to them, as it would be unkind and possibly un-civil.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.

"sold about 300 "Make America Great Again" hats at $10 each in about 9 hours."

Counterfeit?

The red hats on Donald's website go for $24.95

They don't say "Made in America".

It seems very much like those shirts were created by Russians.

In Russian, there are no articles. They have a hard time with deciding where to place "the" and "a/an" because they don't exist in Russian. In English, the shirt's slogan would have read, "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat." Instead, they got it the wrong way around: "I'd rather be a Russian than Democrat."

Oops. Or, should I write Уупс?

Not that any Trumpanzee completed any school grade high enough to recognize the difference, of course.....
