It's the best characteristic of English, I think. It's alive, it changes and we do very little to prevent that from happening (unlike French or German).

Pro tip: -z, -j are not needed by tar anymore since many years, tar will autodetect what compression was used if your distro is anything remotely modern.

Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish, who moved to Canada and then moved to the US.

It's not a million miles away from the truth. The UK and France were the main advocates behind the ITU, so they got +33 and +44. Which is...fine...but I've not come across why NA got +1, etc. or even why those numbers were chosen at all.

It's weird they mention the C2PA but don't link to it: https://c2pa.org/

I'm not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I've never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

I think it was a bit of a race to be honest. If Bangladesh revoked her citizenship first, the UK couldn't have.

As a Brit-born to Brit parents, if I have gained, say, Irish citizenship (or Spanish, or Kenyan, whatever) then the UK could revoke my citizenship under the same rules. It's the fact she had another citizenship that allowed them to do this at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are some horrible racist pieces of shit who would see it as you've described, but I don't think this is one of them.
