the real value of £75 Amazon ebooks with titles like 'This One Monastery In England, 1053 - 1217: The Impact of Local Property Boundaries on Crop Selection' is that they reassure me the author must be An 'istorian and so their other, cheaper and less freakishly specific, works are probably worth reading. someone who'd write a book with a title like that must know what they are on about and also they're a fucking nerd👍

#oh i'm not buying the monastery book i'm not WEIRD!#but it's like they put their qualification certificates online and also spent an hour telling me about their favourite medieval nun #while we were at some kind of social gathering where that was not an expected topic of conversation.#history fandom #I DROPPED THE H BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THE INDEFINITE ARTICLE WORKS IN ENGLISH. SO THERE.#'AN HISTORIAN'? in their AN HOUSE with their AN HUSBAND?#(my dialect doesn't drop Hs and neither does RP so i am not sure why posh folk insist on this one exception. i don't care to google it.)#but i digress #queue
