Links To Sussex in The UK
Phoebe Earl Griffiths, an American writer in the 19th century, commented that Sussex dialect has considerable similarities with the dialect of New England at the time. Phrases common to Sussex such as "you hadn't ought to" or "you shouldn't ought", the use of "be you?" for "are you?" and "I see him" for "I saw him" were common in New England as well. Other phrases that may appear to be Americanisms were widely used in Sussex dialect including the use of "the fall" for autumn, "mad" for "angry" and use of "I guess" and "I reckon". Significant numbers of Sussex people moved to the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Quaker and founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, William Penn, left Sussex for New England, taking around 200 Sussex Quakers with him. For several years, Penn lived at Warminghurst Place in Sussex, worshipping near Thakeham.

Famous quotes containing the words links to and/or links:
“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
