Yes but I was relying on common familiarity . John Donne in America would have required Americans to be familiar with an English poet in 1624. Even Shakespeare quotes are usually only referenced in print if they are from a very tiny pool of commonly understood popular plays .
Nice try Linda. U misquoted the author, apologize & admit you're wrong instead of implicating all of Americans for being dumb & having a cut-off date for reading writers. It's 1 person~~u! wrongWrongWRONG. Like no Americans read any1 from the Elizabethan & Jacobean periods, get real.
The only people with one brain cell that only partly functions are Trump's MAGA babies. Most Americans have at least read most of the authors in high school. They may not quote them, but they have read them.
I Did NOT imply dumb, just recognized that many may not have been exposed to an English Poet that is just not as well known especially as a source of that particular quote . I used a more commonly known point of reference in a comical play on words .
If I was posting for an audience where that reference would not have created a break in the instant recognition for even a portion of the readers
I would have used it .
You assume more than was intended
I question your hostility and sourness for a comment on a well intentioned platform to spread humor .
In total, seven. Spanish, Swiss Italian, Swiss High German, Swiss German, Swiss French, Latin, and British English. This is why I work as a translator, mostly of medical language, since I am a veterinarian. Of course, Latin and Swiss German aren't amongst the more sought.
Also, at times, I have brain cells battling each other because I try to remember a word or expression in a given language and the other six jump in and end up in a rum scrum.
how wonderful, Rosa Maria ♥️❣️ good for you❣️ languages and cultural diversity makes us so rich❣️ I love hearing music from around the world…I wish I spoke as many languages! only 3 for me. I worked in Switzerland for a while and was blown away by how they add an (i?) Käs Küchli, Schinken Kipferli 😂😂. I miss the muesli. Anyway, have a lovely day❣️
Lutnick went right to his friend who owns the toll booth and collects all the benefitsbetween canada and the us this is the reason they dont want to allow the bridge to open another of

The Dept. of Defense needs a complete overhaul. Starting on top & being held in The Hague with Jack Smith doing the honors. Then he can fry the biggest fish to finish the job.
I may not click on every cartoon, but I have to look every single day to see what brilliance you have captured. You have such a discerning eye. Your files are always spot on! Thank you so much for your wonderful work..
For whom does the bridge toll - It tolls for anyone who will give a cut to Donald Trump. *
* Sorry HEMINGWAY - I could't resist .
Should say sorry to John Donne.

Bingo! You go & read & shine, Cynthia.

Micheal you telling it like it is!
Toute la faute est à Trump!
How many languages do you speak?! I've seen comments in a few of them. Would probably leave a comment, if I understood them all! This one I got!

4 exquisite winners!
Superb!
It kind of depends on one's opinion of what is deemed "necessary" doesn't it? Our President has his own opinions about "trouble" as well...
God save the USA
Don't think he has too many bridges to much of anything. Most everything is either in the swamp or the weeds!
Bribes work in Trumpland. (Country to be renamed in August).

I laughed ... I cried

It might as well be the KERCH BRIDGE in Ukraine for all the good he's doing!!
