He's talking about the seven inches, isn't he?

ETA: Apperently women are tit on telling the correct length of anything in inches because men lie to us on this topic so our perception is skewed.

We joke about this with our snow forecasts here.

If the man says a foot that means 7 inches.
If the woman says a foot - it's going to be a foot. 😂😂😂

For someone who called herself a progressive socialist (or words to that effect), Alice is surprisingly regressive when it comes to marriage and children. It's just another stick for her to use to beat people up.

She's like 1300's hundreds regressive!

Ignore me, I might have said this in a super-early thread anyway, but what gets me about “Griffith” is that it’s wrong and totally erases Welsh patriotism and culture.

I’m sure people know already but just in case: the two d’s in “Gruffudd” are spoken with a vocal vibration. Think of the word “there” instead of “thought”—the former “th” has vocal vibration while latter doesn’t. I’ve always appreciated that about his name, and I’ve always gotten real bristly when interviewers—people who are supposed to have a strong, or at least working knowledge about their interviewee—pronounce the two d’s without vocal vibration. When they bend the name out of its Welsh-ness to fit the tongue with which they’ve been raised to speak. It just irks me.

I’ve wondered for a while now if Alice was the one who changed the girls’ surnames to “Griffith.” That’s probably been confirmed already, I apologize. But if that’s the case then it makes me sad, and I wonder how it made Ioan feel. He has always taken so much pride in his country. He was raised speaking Welsh in his household. Some of my favorite interviews with him were conducted in Welsh. And for Alice to nab that away from him, to decorate their children with a non-Welsh name makes me unhappy. I know he must not have wanted that.

“Griffith” is not really correct, because it’s not “Gruffudd” in a linguistic context. I TOTALLY pardon Gill and Peter because they’re profoundly Welsh and they can choose whatever surnames they wish. But my point is that, Alice tried so hard to erase him from his country for all these years. She stole away the gift of blessing his children with a surname that upholds his nationalism and sense of identity. She stole away the GIRLS’ identity. I bet she didn’t even give them permission to learn Welsh in the home—because with Alice, one must request permission to be who they are and, tragically, she is very tight-fisted.

Not sure what you mean. How are we supposed to pronounce it?

Just a word of warning, if a meme page is created then the followers list will probably be trawled by the FMs looking for doxxing opportunities.
