The actual origin is almost as goofy. "'Wisconsin' (originally 'Meskonsing') is the English spelling of a French version of a Miami Indian name for a river"

But the German W sounds like a V. Wein, Wissenschaftler, WeiรŸ, all start with a V sound.

I hear a lot of Germans say this but I do hear a difference between the English V and the German W. They don't sound exactly alike. Sounds more like a [ส‹] sound in German which is a bit more in between.

A "pro" is the opposite of a "con", so what's the opposite of progress?

I was looking for "congress", and while that is currently controlled by Republicans, there's been some Democrat congresspersons that have worked that side of the ratchet in the past.

Republicans drive the Overton window Ratchet or not, there wouldn't be rightward movement if they didn't exist.

Unrelated to meme:

But, did you know: You can make so that the meme has a spacing at the bottom, so the "imgflip.com" goes into the bottom spacing, then you just crop out the entire bottom space along with the "imgflip.com" watermark lol

โ€œSinโ€ means without in Spanish, but โ€œsynโ€ is derived from with in Greek

I'll never understand why (mostly older) Germans keep replacing unvoiced English th with unvoiced s, when f is right there.

Logically it's because voiced th is replaced with voiced s (aka English z) in a German accent, but that actually makes some sense phonetically. Still strange how historical German speakers pretty consistently replaced the archaic voiced th with d in later forms of German while modern Germans completely ignore that when it comes to English, though.
