Okay Frenchies in your silly kniggit armor

Kniggit armor? Is that because the Frogs croak "Kniggit, kniggit"?

Thanks so much for posting that. It is one of my all time favorites. Good pep talk for election day.

Pronounce knight phonetically.

I didn’t. I did know an archer who shot with middle and ring fingers. His right index finger had been amputated. I don’t think you could swing it with your pinkie and ring finger and I would sure hate getting caught by the French again if you could. I doubt if the French would let you off as lightly a second time.

Pronounce knight phonetically.

By which set of rules? One set I know from the British Isles results in something like "k[uh]-Neeh[kh]t." (The [kh] sound here simply doesn't exist in English.)
