So I guess if it's 'Asbro then we should have the 'Eavy gruts also.

Do you pronounce the 'H' in Harqebus, as in Ashigari Harquebus. I kinda do both, just depends on the moment and mood I suppose.

I think that's what I want for my title to be: 'Eavy Grut!!

Harquebus is interesting, since it is listed in most English dictionaries with the variant "arquebus."

I think more often than not, I do leave the H silent when pronouncing Harquebus. It just sounds better to me.

This brings up another point. Is Harqebus singular or plural? If it's singular what would plural be? Harqebai? Harqebusses?


Oh and Rev you live in the south, you should know! It IS 'umble not humble!

Heavy Gruts would then become eavy Gruts which is beginning to sound like Warhammer armies.

So this is where all the bastardisations of Cockney are coming from. I think I'm about the closest thing you'll get to a real Cockney here - I was born just outside the Bow Bells, but come from the traditional part of town (East End London). The only people I've ever heard speaking like that come from movies where all children are orphaned chimney sweeps and women fly with umbrellas.
On my command, fix bayonets.

I am pretty sure any member over the age of twelve not forced to wear a bicycle helmet 24/7 by their care provider should know those two references ...




Let's see someone admit they are ignorant of 'Enry 'Iggins now!
I'm ignorant of 'Enry 'Iggins.
