Oh, I've actively learned it, and hate myself a little bit for it. I'm mostly 6th generation American, but that heritage is about 75% Gingery, whisky loving English, Scottish & Irish mix, and the rest some other smattering of western European stuffs... (Lord help me, for anyone out there hurt too many times by the internet, this is genuinely mine. I did not steal this off the internet like a sociopath.)

My love for history grew into Anglo history, then I discovered the Outlander book series around the time I learned about my own Scottish ancestry. But I was truly fucked when my aunt who does genealogy found our connection to the royal family dating back to Henry VII and his mother Margaret Beaufort. I think you can tell I'm not making it up, because if I wanted to sound cool, I'd say Henry VIII.
