Cunning Linguistics in Thai

I’m tired of having people glance over at me and say “blah blah blah farang blah blah blah.”

But please allow me to dispense with such formality — you can Google ‘death penalty’ and find over 25 million pages dedicated to the argument; many more erudite than any I could write.
