I never said Americans spoke proper english only that the english don't

Lets not forget that you have so many regional variants in the US that make it a wholey difficult thing for a New Englander to talk to a resident of West Texas. I had grown up in Southern Michigan which along with Northern Ohio have the least accented English. I moved to North Texas and had the misfortunte of meeting and speaking to a West Texas transplant as my first Texas Conversation. I felt like I was dropped in China. Didn't understand a word he said.
I can now translate for others when the need arises.

Now back to the topic of bashing the English. Talking aside. did anyone ever tell you the rest of the civilized world drives on the right side of the road.

If you live in Texas, why is there an Israeli flag under your name?

Driving on the right wouldn't work, we'd hit the cars coming the other way!

Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

Of course we all know where all the different languages really came from - not.

As a nation, you're certainly very good at keeping us both entertained and slightly worried.

Like having a friend who's not quite right in the head, who has just taken ecstasy and run into a forest. We're compelled to follow him and watch, ostensibly to make sure he doesn't hurt himself, but really to video it when he does.

This.

I have no problems with US accents. Send me to the UK fore sore I will have a problem, but so will you in Germany.

Really if you want to hear English in its true form, then talk to an Aussie. ;-D

Cheers.

Heck I lost track in the bashing.

Joseph Sobran once said,


"If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist."


But let's hear what our first President had to say about intervention in foreign countries:


"Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." - George Washington

"The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop." -- George Washington, farewell address, 1796.

"I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation has a right to intermeddle in the internal concerns of another; that every one has a right to form and adopt whatever government they liked best to live under themselves; and that if this country could, consistently with its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace, it was bound to do so by motives of policy, interest, and every other consideration. - George Washington, from Letter to James Monroe, August 25,1796.

"Hence , likewise , they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments which, under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty."

I'm a proud extremist.

Now back to the topic of bashing the English. Talking aside. did anyone ever tell you the rest of the civilized world drives on the right side of the road

Now how stupid is that, how the hell do you use a sword when your right arm is inside the vehicle ;-)

This is a superb application of methods taken from evolutionary biology to understand a problem in cultural evolution - the origin and expansion of the Indo-European languages.

So this is fake, too? Anu be praised

Now, it's funny you should say that ....

The roots of the language can be traced to the Altay region. The Altai Mountains (Altay Mountains) are a mountain range in East-Central Asia, where Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan come together,

Now back to the topic of bashing the English. Talking aside. did anyone ever tell you the rest of the civilized world drives on the right side of the road.

No, but they did tell us that they drive on the wrong side of the road, and that it is spelt civilised.

ehhh in my defense or is it defence gah I hate this language

I'd rather speak and spell something that sounds like it's spelled.

or do you have an Andy Capp

You're all wrong. English is really Turkish......

English originated in Turkey

Well it don't sound like it did - does it like...Most probably find that if these
experts researched the Turkish language they'd state that originated from China.
