Revenge - no I don't think so.

At a recent Press Conference in Montpellier WoW was amazed to be addressed in perfect English - not a trace of the US similar but a bit different brand - by Air Arabia's  Chief Operating Officer Mr Rohit Ramachandran.

Unable to contain the WoW enthusiasm at the end of the conference - WoW heard himself saying - What amazing English you have - so lovely to hear it.

"Ah" he said "we were ruled by the Brits for 300 years - we speak English badly as a form of revenge" he said with a chuckle.

That is not bad English Sir - it is much better than most of the natives speak.

 

As for being ruled by England - well up to a point Lord Copper - English Tangier was a colony of the Kingdom of England and a military and naval base in Tangier, held by the English from 1661 to 6 February 1684, when it returned to being part of Morocco.

Ah well - the sentiment was fun and got WoW a googling.
