I hate how any English speaker knows exactly what’s happening here.

I don’t understand how I said the exact same word two different ways

RAAAWGH.

Ah, English. Not so much a language as a brutal mafia of misshapen grammar and stunted syntax beating respectable languages upside the head and making off with loose bits of their vocabulary.

Other civilians were also detained during the invasion. Meanwhile on the Allied side Red Cross workers gave relief to the islanders who escaped detention. The weather kept the battle mostly on the ground, with clouds and storms preventing effective air support.

A once proud tribe brought down by settlers not native to their land

an old Unangax “poem” describes this:


WHILE THE LITTLE ONES PLAY KICK THE CAN

Alfred’s grandfather says, “Remember, we were once

         unparalleled hunters, men of the sea.

We were the elders of the world.

We had our own language, our fierce victories, our

          tribal pride.

The Russians ended that.

“We went from ten thousand to eight hundred. Our

          grandparents perished. Our parents perished.

And that was before the

          Americans came.

How many times can a people lose their way

Before they are lost forever?”


“gone” but not forgotten by The Great Spirit…
