Because they aren't English. Maybe even BBC can work this one out. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-44142843 …pic.twitter.com/DhUNBWYzzu

I was asking a genuine question. Just a fact base one: who isn't English according to your estimates?
-
-
I’m still not following you. Can you see that your original tweet is not very clear? Cos the article is about English people. I am confused.
-
-
Yes indeed, it’s a common English phrase to say ‘I don’t follow you’, meaning ‘I don’t understand your point’.
-
But I’m still curious about the clarification.
-
It’s just that there are very clear laws about British citizenship, lex soli, lex sanguinis etc. which I expect the BBC reporter is at least conceptually aware of, and I don’t think it has anything to do with age.
-
Well anyway. Clarity is something we strive for in science; precision in language is terribly important when trying to convey an idea or even an opinion.
