From England, which is approx. 800 years older than the States. As far as the English language is concerned, regardless of the different types of slang used in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or any other english speaking nation. England's interpretation of the English language is definate for now.

peace.

Well, since we're being grammar Nazis...


There is no "a" in definite.

 

[Hymnz]

who gives a fuck?
i (interchangeably) use both s and z in works like organise. in the real world i remember to use s, but since im always watching american movies and reading novels by american authors, i sometimes forget... i never use "capitol" though

 

[Vaudeville]

I love the fucking "U" on colour, favour, flavour, humour, doughnut (not simple, weak donut)

For some reason, this had no point. Fragments!

From "John Cleese's letter to the US"

You should look up revocation in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up aluminium. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix ize will be replaced by the suffix ise. You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.

Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up vocabulary. Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up interspersed. There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad language as often.

2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize.

3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney,upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents - Scottish dramas such as Taggart will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we're talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is Devon. If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become shires e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.

Im not being a nazi, just stating England holds ALL the weight when it comes to the English language. USA, us here in Australia, NZ, Canada etc have no say unfortunately. Then again it's the only thing England has left, their once mighty sports teams suck. They get out-drank under the table by the other nationalities using English. lol

peace.

England - English Language

 

[Illuminattile]

It's organize not organise.

Why the fuck did someone decide that those words (organize, realize, recognize etc.) would be better with a Z?

And words like favour, colour, neighbour, etc...DROP THE FUCKIN U!!! its favor, color, neighbor.

You're right. Sorry, that should be "yo're right". Sorry, I mean that "shold" be "yo're right". I guess (gess?) we should replace "four" with "for", too. And "court" with "cort", "pour" with "por" and "your" with "yor". Anything elze yor having truble with? Lets get rid of apoztrophes too, while were at it. And duble leters, whats the deal with them? A bit unecesary arent they?

Maybe if we in England made all these changes, we'd be as smart as you Americans. One can only hope.

Good bye.

Since when is goodbye two words? That's not even American.

Sorry but that's a funny as hell response. Lol.

As for the grammar issues, welcome to the English language. Maybe you should speak Spanish or Native American if you don't like it. Or one of the many European languages where your nations population descends from.

their once mighty sports teams suck. They get out-drank under the table by the other nationalities using English. lol

peace.

Rugby World Cup.
The Ashes.
Further than you at World Cup.

If we suck, then you suck, gargle then swallow.

Oh yeah, and i'll drink you under the table all day, then all night, then all day again.

If you're going to be a grammar nazi you should probably focus on his grammatical mistakes, not his spelling errors. That would be a spelling nazi.

It's not our fault Americans can't spell.

big eric, give it 10 years. as always, the rest of the world will hop on the american bandwagon and adopt our ways as always. yes, you created the language, but we made it better.

food for thought, there are not packs of american teenagers trying to claim ________shire (insert any of the 1000000 freakin' shires here) and speak with an english accent, whereas there are millions of english ali g's (the "real" versions) who roam the streets in search of the next american trend to add to their clown suit of goggles, durags, live strong bracelets, snap away workout pants, nba jerseys, fitted hats with unfolded bills, spinner stainless steel jewelery, and other such novelties the cia has devised to make our foreign friends resemble bozo and cookie.

Food for thought; there are no threads in Our Block about American muffins.
