That reminds me - did you know that the UK is planning some big celebrations for 2066, as the 1000th anniversary of the last successful invasion of their country? They haven't been truly invaded since! ;)

Fair enough, fair enough... Although it would be interesting to see what those old letters would have looked like. :3 I know for a fact that "w"s didn't exist for a while - the reason that they're pronounced "double yew" in English is because there are litterally two "u"s (which would have been written like "v"s back then, right?) side by side to make the sound - vv=w
