Imean we’re using the Roman alphabet—not the OG alphabet but an evolved form of it.

People spoke Latin as a common tongue for more than a thousand years after Rome fell. Let’s see if English lasts longer

All I see is a bunch of vulgar Latin spoke by Anglo-saxons. Savages.

Then why is the word “meme” based on a Greek root?

Firstly – as others mentioned, you are using their alphabet.
Secondly – Latin has been used as a primary langauge in many things (religion, official texts, books etc) in Europe for far longer than English has, and in certain scientific fields it is still the main language for things like names.
The one thing that we can definitely give to English is how far spread it is. Latin was primarily focused around Europe, whereas English is a lot more global.

It’s really because the British colonists in America gained independence and subsequently became a world wide super power.

English is hard to learn because it is nothing more the just a common trade tongue made of all languages.
You are literally using their Alphabet.
Because the person who made the meme speaks English? I mean, you could make this meme in Swahili.
Wait till bro finds out what alphabet he’s using
Because usa won ww2.
Yeah but maybe “How often do you think about the British Empire?” wouldn’t have work as well as “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” meme.
For now.
It’s in American.
Here it is in English: “Theu Rou’aun em’iure “…
Yet you are using Latin alphabet and a partially Latin ancestry language
Because every empire has his time and he has to go. That’s how it works.
didnt know i was speaking chinese
Looks at my calendar
The year 2024 AD…those followers of Jesus did pretty well
The days of the week Mani’s day, Tyrs day, Odin’s day, Thor’s day, and Frigg’s day… Those Norse people did pretty well
Looks at the months with random number of days… Stupid Roman emperors naming months after themselves
The key word being “was”…
Yeah but then the English eat beans on toast. Also, most places show English as an option next to an American flag. Js.
Because AMERTICA 🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
The very word empire comes from latin.
Try to speak English without using Latin words and, of course, without using the Latin alphabet
Mom said it’s my turn to repost this meme
Because without Rome, English wouldn’t have existed if they didn’t rule Britannia?
like there are no memes in german, french, in spainish or portuguese and chinese and so on lol
Oh boy, I wonder where English come from huh, someone must have invented it out of nowhere.
You speak English, because that’s the only language you know. I speak English because it is the only language you know. We are not the same.
Yeah, caling Roman empire the greatest ever is just stupidly ignorant.
Will somebody please think of the Akkadians? 🙏
¿Entonces porque estoy hablando Castellano?
Yeah! Wait till you hear about the Empire of Angles, my man!
