Butchers of the English language
Aren't you american? English should be your first language, if so. My suggestion is that you stop posting here and get an education, as it's really embarassing that you don't know the difference between "you're" and "your". I'm italian and my english is better than yours: stop playing EVE for 26 hours straight and get a life, or at least an education.Originally Posted by Manny
Thanks!

God, not this again.
I'm pretty confident that Manfred is retarded in real life, however I met people that even with serious mental problems can write in a correct italian. I am not going into the merit of his posts because I can see him drooling over the keyboard while his mum is changing his diapers, and well you can't pretend much from him; but if we've got to read retarded stuff, from an american, I pretend some respect for grammar, punctuation and the general rules of the english language.

You are talking about the country that has boycotted the letter "U" because it is too hard to spell words like colour, they have been butchering the English language for quite some time. Apostrophe are living on borrowed time! It wont be long until SMS speak will be the official American language.
While we're butchering the English language...
Not all Americans are as dumb as Manfred.
some are dumber
Confirming this

Like the SCs performance. No wonder that everybody's distracted, when nothings happening up north. Oh wait! The NC is taking back their moons while Molle is busy holding his petties' hands. Gents the 1st may is close. Time for a new campaign start.

Grammar Nazis suck arse.
I were teached proper england when I was a children.
Not Dead, Just Sleeping
So you've been to Jersey?
Said the people who found the letter 'z' to be too confusing for their civilization.
When my grandfather was a kid they used to have something called a language stick. If the teachers caught you speaking the wrong language, they would put a special necklace around your neck. If you wore that necklace the other school kids were allowed to beat you up.
I've heard about them in Wales and Ireland as well.

Not Dead, Just Sleeping
People in Wales whine about this happening, but it was certainly not to let other kids beat you. In the English speaking schools (which parents chose to send their kids to, there were Welsh language schools but that is a different story) if you were caught speaking Welsh they gave you a token. If you caught another kid doing it you passed it to them, and whoever had it at the end of the day was thrashed. Made the kids more likely to speak English in school and practice the language.
Oddly you get punished in Welsh language schools for speaking English, but they claim that is different
That's how it is in California, but you have to speak Spanish and you get beat up and punished for speaking English. I blame hip-hop music with their bagging pants and all.
I should have add this already, but even the "proper" English speakers in this forum tend to deviate from the acceptable standards of English grammar and mechanics. Case in point the switch from present to past tense in the middle of a sentence. I think we can all say that English has some pretty archaic rules that are being updated by time and location so things are different where ever you go. Thus, acceptable standards will be updated with time and location. English mechanics and grammar is hard to get down, which is why I throw commas, semi-colons, and colons everywhere.
I will not speak the Queen's English as I have no queen. I be ruled by a single devil-tyrant called, pop culture.
I forgot to mention I love the english.
I'm Welsh, we like to teach our children how evil the English were (when they weren't really by the standards of those days) and screw up the union between countries over here.
Americans can't even pronounce the word 'schedule' properly. It drives me crazy!
Yeah sorry but its not a shedule its a schedule.

Americans don't know how to reply correctly to "How do you do?"
Many people don't understand how to correctly give a handshake either.

No I don't have money for you. Leave me alone you crazy vagabond. Is that good?
I know how to give the proper handshake. When you are shaking use your index or middle finger to tickle the palm of the person whose hand you are shaking. BTW this could be the creepiest thing to do to anyone you just met.. Or if you really feel up to a full "pleasure to meet you" handshake you pick your nose then shake.
See Americans aren't all crass and obnoxious. So stop basing (slang; for making fun of) us. Racists.. I guess we're not a race. When do we get to be a race?
It's a tap, not a tickle, and you're not supposed to talk about it.

For what it's worth, I always pronounce album "alblum", and Thailand "tieland"...the first due to feeling like a homosexual when I pronounce "album" (much like sheh-drool), the second due to me not being Thai.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff“Canadian geese” would be any old geese that happen to be in Canada. What people usually mean to refer to when they use this phrase is the specific species properly called “Canada geese.”
