This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You did your best to stamp those out back in 1066
It's still how we call this group from France.
Do you use it differently to "English"?
Maybe it is interchangeable sometimes, but English people would rather point at the UK, while Anglo-Saxons often abusively refers to UK plus majorly white former British colonies, USA, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand.
Interesting. I'd probably call that "the anglosphere", Anglo-Saxon is specifically the pre-Norman-conquest residents of what is now England.
Wouldn't the Anglosphere include every English speaking countries like South Africa, India and others?
Maybe. There's also "The Commonwealth" which includes them but which the USA explicitly opted out from (by gaining independence from the British Empire before it was cool).
