That's awful, I am sorry that happened to you.

"I'll never understand the right-wing obsession with halal as something sinister" I guess it's like kosher meat, and right-wingers also tend to hate Jews, so maybe it's a holdover thing from that? I don't get it either though, halal and kosher slaughter are both much quicker and less painful for the animal than the methods most secular slaughterhouses use. (Actually, looking up both methods in case I was wrong about the thing I wrote - speaking as a Jew, I think the halal method sounds more ethical than shechita/the kosher method, since the halal method still allows for stunning the animal before slaughter, unlike shechita, which doesn't allow that for some reason.)

As an animal rights activist, I've had these conversations. Basically, the belief is that halal is cruel, because the animal is left to bleed to death. It's a bs argument for a couple of reasons. The idea behind that argument is that the animal will suffer needlessly while taking a long time to die. But here, the animal is stunned like a second after the throat is slit, which seems to satisfy the criteria of halal slaughter. So technically, a lot of our meat might be halal. But the real problem is that on the footage I've seen, the butcher stuns the animal, and then *leaves* to do something else for long enough that the animal starts regaining consciousness. And is then stunned again. And sometimes even a third time. And while the theory is that the animal dies within seconds when its throat is slit, that is... not always the case. Not to mention the fact that the animals panic when they smell blood. So our system is just garbage, halal or not. And they don't care, so the rational conclusion must be that it's not something they're *truly* concerned about.

@@RvEijndhoven Technically, no it isn't. It's named after the place the car maker was founded which is pronounced vox-hall. "Around the time of the signing of the Magna Carta, there lived a military ruler of Anglo-Norman background in a giant manor house in Lambeth. His name was Sir Falkes de Breaute ... he named his large estate after himself, Falkes Hall. Over time, this evolved into Fulke’s Hall, Faukeshall, Fawkyhall, Foxhall, Faux Well, and eventually Vauxhall. You can see this progression of names in several maps of London but it’s only in 1293 that “Vauxhall” stuck." I understand that it's typical to use a silent 'x' with French names ie; Bayeux - but the etymology of Vauxhall is a derivation of the surname Falkes. It's a hard 'x' sound.

@RvEijndhoven

@@PostingCringeOnMain Ok so that '1293' date is wrong (should be somewhere after the 1740's, 1793 not being out of the question, but a bit late), because there is no record of anyone writing it 'Vauxhall' until the opening of the Vauxhall Pleasure Garden around that time. Before that everyone had been calling (and spelling) it Fox Hall (if they didn't just call it Surrey) since the 1600s. But the point I was making is that when they named the Vauxhall Pleasure Garden, they went with spelling it 'Vaux' rather than 'Fox', probably because the former *looks* fancier and shows up in a bunch of other place names (in French speaking regions of Switzerland, Belgium and, of course, France). Problem: 'Vaux' is the name of several small rivers in French-speaking areas, those places are named after their local 'Vaux' river and it's always pronounced with a silent 'x'. That's why I said that Robert is technically correct. Yes, I get that the area's name should be pronounced 'vox hall' and the company's should therefore be too. But if you had a certain name and you suddenly started spelling it 'Floop', you don't get to then complain that people don't pronounce it 'Philip'.

@@RvEijndhoven You have completely failed to understand etymology or language. Vauxhall is pronounced "vox-hall" as *that's the phonetic name of the place!*. Spelling is malleable across time, especially before the victorians got all stuffy about it, and back then spelling something to make it look fancier absolutely did not mean that it would be pronounced differently. You think when they changed the spelling anyone started referring to it was "Voh-hall"?? Why??

@RvEijndhoven

10 ай бұрын

@@harryc5951 No, I do not think that people started calling the area that after they decided to spell the name of the Pleasure Garden that way. What I'm telling you is that exactly because spelling was so wonky at the time (for English, at least, because Dutch, (Prussian) German and French spelling at least were standardised by that time) they used the 'Vaux' spelling because that's present in a lot of place names across Europe and it looks more fancy than 'Fox', but in *ALL* those other places with 'Vaux' in their name, it's pronounced 'Voh'. Now... If Vauxhall had been written 'Vauxhall' and pronounce Voxall _from the start_ that would be different... Heck... If Vauxhall was a spelling used by absolutely anyone at any point prior to the naming of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, it would be different. But it wasn't. The name of the area was written AND pronounced as 'Fox Hall' for several centuries until one private company from outside of the area, catering to rich people from outside the area, misspelled the name on their sign out of sheer ignorance and those rich people from outside the area, some of whom were in government, assumed that must be the official spelling and copied the mistake. So, in short, I'm not saying that Vauxhall _is_ pronounced 'vohhall', I'm saying that with that spelling, it _should_ be. And it only isn't because the locals didn't change how they pronounced the name after some ignorant asshats convinced everyone outside the area to spell it differently than it's pronounced.

I will never forgive English for the pronunciation of "The Thames" Just spell it Tems

Lutton is a one hour away bus ride from central London. I also grew up in a smaller town an hour away from a big city, we took a bus.

I had to double check "Vauxhall" to see if I had been pronouncing it wrong the whole time - despite having lived in the UK for two years. It actually is "VAUKS haul", so I didn't have to wonder if I was having a stroke. When I think of the degen way my British friends pronounced "Leicestershire" (LESS ter sheer), that drove me nuts, too, but I compare it to the culture shock of Britons in the US being presented with all of these North American names which are derived (in varying degrees of correctness or verifiability) from various Native American languages.
