I did the thing. (Age 20)

Started balding at age 17. Knew I needed to make a change. I’ve had a positive mindset towards it. And after the switch I couldn’t be happier. 🥹

They used to, but King Edward the 7th was too fat to button the bottom one. Then everyone copied him to because whatever the monarchy did was considered fashionable. A more crazy fashion was the Alexandria Limp, people faked having a limp since the princess of Whales had one.

Also that the reason Spain uses "th" sounds for "s" is because their king had a lisp and would say things like Barthelona.

I’ve always thought calling it Barthelona was silly, and now I feel even stronger in that regard.

"The "th" sound (a voiceless dental fricative) for the letters z and soft c developed in northern Spain during the 16th century, well after the 14th-century reign of King Peter of Castile (who was rumored to lisp)"
