I am Canadian, and I loathe all the extra "U"s in our language.  I type them mostly because it was beaten into my brain in school, but I hate them and think they are idiotic and unnecessary.

The truth is, a lot of Americans were illiterate in the early days. So when Engish was being rolled out you could get rid of some of the letters that didn't make sence because they'd changed from the latic/viking/french. Or they didn't fit the accent.


Wha-huh?  :lol:  Interesting revisionist idea on the great vowel shift, man.

Also, "Sence"?

:lulz:

Yes, sence.

It's English. We invented it. We can do what we want, when we want. . If you want to change it all and add random zed's in there because you think it makes you from the future or something, by all means, be our guest. But then it's not English, it's...i don't know. Make up your own name for it. I don't know why you'd want to speak English anyway. You felt the need to kill us and send us back where we came from, why not abandon the language of the King you didn't want? YOU MAKE NO SENSE!

Quite.  It's not like America won the revolution, right?  No, the English dumped all their religious nuts on us, then "lost" at Yorktown.  To the French.

Yeah, right.

Also, your slang? Fuck it.

Fuck your bloody old manky excuse for the English language. Our slang is much superior. In a way that only someone with access to routine dental care could understand.

And don't give me the old, "Well if it wasn't for us, you wouldn't exist."

Bullshit. Spain started us and France owned more of us than you ninnies could ever have controlled which your retarded failing empire spanning the globe and all, and we still kicked your asses clear across the Atlantic TWICE and then saved it, another twice. You couldn't hold onto our swampy ass East Coast if your paltry lives depended on it. If we still really mattered, that 4 seats that my mother's ancestral family holds in the House of Lords would be mine for the taking, but it doesn't work like that. So fuck you.

I swear the only decent thing about the British Empire is the invention of gin and tonics.

And, why the control of Northern Ireland, REALLY?! It's not like Belfast ever built a ship capable of crossing the Atlantic and not sinking at the first sign of an iceberg or U-boat. All you ever did was persecute that poor island and it's saffron-wearing inhabitants. Fuck you, and fuck Henry VIII for starting it.

Also, pudding is NOT sausage. EVER. Nor should it contain blood. :vom:

I think its pretty debatable whether the US "saved" anyone in WWI, though I won't dispute WWII.

WWI was a family fight that we should have stayed out of.

And we helped in WWII, but we billed our friends for it.   :lulz:

As a double threadjack, they're re-running "Band of Brothers" on HBO, and I am completely floored by what those guys went through, even if some parts took some license.

And while they were doing that, the Nazis took over back home.   :lulz:
