Towne, etc.. What's up with that? It's not just in the UK (  ). And the answer is "'Cause we're smarter than you".  | |

No disrespect here, I love to learn about different cultures and so forth, but why do the British say "we" when they're talking about themselves. i.e. "We broke up with Sally tonight" Just curious.

The Americans just invented a simpler version of English because they're too lazy to use all the letters in a word  | |

Now that I think about it, perhaps Dan Quayle's 'potatoe' reference was simply the UK spelling of the word. He was simply more cultured than us 'common folk'... [Edited 1/25/05 11:20am] | |
