Hadrian's wall is a number of miles from the English/Scottish border, isn't it?

2019-09-28 16:10:09 UTC  

It is the English Scottish border I thought

2019-09-28 16:29:45 UTC  

Wikipedia says I was half right

```It is a common misconception that Hadrian's Wall marks the boundary between England and Scotland. In fact Hadrian's Wall lies entirely within England and has never formed the Anglo-Scottish border.[10] While it is less than 0.6 mi (1.0 km) south of the border with Scotland in the west at Bowness-on-Solway, in the east at Wallsend it is as much as 68 miles (109 km) away.It is a common misconception that Hadrian's Wall marks the boundary between England and Scotland.

Whilst it's not on the border it is a wall to separate the two

2019-09-28 16:32:04 UTC  

Another historical misconception.

2019-09-28 16:32:26 UTC  

Hadrians wall was built to keep the Picts out of Roman Briton.

2019-09-28 16:33:03 UTC  

The Celts?

2019-09-28 16:33:04 UTC  

The modern Scots have more in common with the Gaels of Ireland.

2019-09-28 16:33:15 UTC  

Ummm

2019-09-28 16:33:18 UTC  

No, not the Celts.

2019-09-28 16:33:21 UTC  

I think the scottish moved over there

2019-09-28 16:33:30 UTC  

and there's a scot/ire

2019-09-28 16:33:38 UTC  

Scottish is what became of the combination of Gael, Pict and Norse.

2019-09-28 16:33:55 UTC  

Are you just trying to be techincally correct?

2019-09-28 16:34:10 UTC  

are you gonna start correcting grammar next?

2019-09-28 16:34:38 UTC  

No, I'm setting historical facts straight before you decide it's a good idea to revise it.

2019-09-28 16:34:41 UTC  

Because to me it looks like a distinction without a difference

2019-09-28 16:34:42 UTC  

Someone has to do it.

2019-09-28 16:34:57 UTC  

No one is revising history

2019-09-28 16:34:59 UTC  

Sounds like you're a little butt hurt that I have historical knowledge you lack and you cannot provide any form of solid counter argument to meme.

2019-09-28 16:35:39 UTC  

Just to remind you, you were the one who accused me.

2019-09-28 16:36:06 UTC  

My argument is that it's a destinction without a difference

2019-09-28 16:36:19 UTC  

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have chicken wings that were made by a minority to eat.

2019-09-28 16:36:31 UTC  

if I start talking about the English way back when are you going to correct me to the exact term for them then

2019-09-28 16:36:38 UTC  

Yes.

2019-09-28 16:36:45 UTC  

ok, you're a cunt then

2019-09-28 16:36:50 UTC  

Thanks.

2019-09-28 16:36:51 UTC  

in my opinion

2019-09-28 16:36:53 UTC  

you're welcome

2019-09-28 16:37:03 UTC  

now fuck off to your wings

You want to look at clown world? Look at the dense autist above who wanted to be technically correct on a difference that is colloquially understood

2019-09-28 16:42:35 UTC  

It's probably a welcome distinction to some people. Just because it is all much of a muchness to you doesnt mean it's not worth pointing it out for the sake of others reading wh might be interested.

2019-09-28 16:43:08 UTC  

indeed, I can agree to that

2019-09-28 16:43:24 UTC  

doesn't stop the method being autistic tho

2019-09-28 16:44:45 UTC  

Imagine someone said "water" and I was like "actually thats a common misconception, the thing that comes out of your tap is only 95% water, there's also some chlorine and other things in there"
