Expanded the meme. Since the embedded images get hard to read they say:
Smallest Mark Punch: “Rome was the greatest civilization ever”
Smallest Nolan Catch: “Then why is this meme written in English”
2nd smallest Mark punch – Smallest Mark Punch and Nolan Catch
2nd smallest Nolan Catch – “Then why does English use the Latin alphabet and why does much of English vocabulary originate from Romance Languages”
3rd smallest Mark Punch – 2nd Smallest Mark Punch and Nolan Catch
3rd smallest Nolan catch – “Then why is English classified as a Germanic Language (language of the peoples that conquered Rome)”

Dude the germanic tribes didn’t even have a written language
I’m sorry, what alphabet is this post written in?
This meme is written in English because you got steam engines first.
Definitely not because some -other- Germanic people “conquered Rome”.
Incoming update talking the Norman Conquest and influence of romance languages on middle and modern english
Which is again written in the Latin alphabet instead of runes of one of the many Germanic precursor languages.
This whole argument is like saying Einstein’s grandfather was responsible for the breakthroughs in 20th century science
The english language is common because bullet.
Rome only had spear.
We don’t speak English, we speak American. Note how we didn’t add unnecessary vowels, remove consonants, or do transphobic knife-crime.
Ha! All of you anglophones write in Arabic numerals and learned mathematics & sciences that built on the works of Al-Khawarizmi & Ibn Sina.
If the Germanics aren’t Roman then explain the Holy Roman Empire.
Americans watching this debacle from the side lines like 🍿👀
