Yeah it's like hello, just because we speak properly doesn't mean we're stuck up and don't you think you're being offensive to us! That's why I love Team America so much because it's finally getting some revenge for countless movies where they've had british characters that are portrayed as stuck up snobs that speak in a posh way!

Thongs: underwear...but back in the day that's what we called flip flops...but since the appearance of the underwear we have resorted to flip flops as to not have confusion
And having 'our' in words instead of 'or' doesn't make sense to me.
I guess because we don't pronounce Flavor "flav-our" but "flav-or"...thus it makes sense

There are thousands of words in the English language that aren't pronounced the way they are written. It doesn't mean we have to change them all.Jamison said:Thongs: underwear...but back in the day that's what we called flip flops...but since the appearance of the underwear we have resorted to flip flops as to not have confusion

I don't get why English isn't spoken and written by everybody the way English people speak and write it. After all, it's called ENGLISH. It really pisses me off that American television is changing the way young people talk in Australia now.
Here's one. An ass is like a donkey - hence not a rude word. Use the proper word 'arse' and this site won't bleep it out. Makes no sense.
'Chaswazzers' isn't a word. That Simpsons episode is an absolute disaster. It's so funny how nobody in the word can do an Australian accent (hint hint Lost actors).

why aren't there "verkleinwoorden" in English??
Ok... so i'll explain it
In Flemish you have like these letter combi's to replace words like "little" "small"
ex: bird = vogel
and a "little bird" is vogeltje
flower = bloem
a "small flower" = bloempje
well, of caurse we also say "een kleine vogel" which is "a little bird"
i'm just wondering why you don't have it in English? it would be easier no? and not that much writing

How would you lik it if another country took your nativ language, spoke and spelt it wrong and then claimed to be speaking it correctly and THEN said they hated the propper way?????
and what if they then claimed to make U>S english- which is not a thing- clearly that's just some hybred of english that should be put down like the mutant languag that it is!On the other hand may I quot the wonderful Fred and ginger " You say tomaaaaatoe I say tomato"
