Where I come from it's called Bagdad so I can understand that but Beckham isn't called Beckam anywhere in the world. Even though certrain accents make it sound that way.
I always find it amusing that only 7 prisoners were released in the storming of the Bastille. They were robbers and fraudsters, a great asset to the revolution.
Plus, the constant propaganda and literature in the years preceding it about how many prisoners there supposedly were, the crimes they were accused of and the horrific conditions they were supposedly kept in, led a lot of people to believe that there would be more. The presumed conditions in the Bastille were a symbol even before the storming.
Nitpick: "baritone" is not a singing register. Examples of vocal registers are falsetto or vocal fry. Baritone, soprano, bass, etc. are classical voice types that are connected to certain vocal ranges. Not registers.
lol...all the folks saying "bicorne".Yes, because the average frenchman was wearing these on a daily basis (heavy sarcasm). The bicorne was a military hat. The beret on the other hand was and is common throughout France.
Only to be massacred by said civilians.
