Cultural appropriation

Pursuant to a conversation elsewhere, a poll!

NOTE! For the purpose of this poll, "foreigner" refers to someone who is foreign in several ways:

1. he has no familial claim to the culture (no relation by blood or marriage);
2. he does not and has not lived in the culture;
3. he has no deep knowledge or understanding of the culture, and/or does not speak the language.

Use the comments to clarify anything you like.

(Note: I submitted blank answers but that's only so I can easily see poll results without changing them; one should not infer from that that I think all the options are inappropriate.)




[Poll #1267976]

Hee hee! That is awesome. Would my Indo-European instinct be correct in guessing that "eg" = "I" and "ar" is a form of to be?

That guess would be correct.

Yay!

And it's always good to have useful skills like being an inappropriate Viking. :)
