edjakayshun thank you very much

Colour? I mean, really? It's color!

And what about their pronouncing superfluous consonants. Like the "h" in herb. It's "erb" guys---not herb.




And then your apallling use of slang words.

I mean, Trainers? REALLY? Who's training? What are they training for?
It's "Sneakers" guys. I mean, really. S-n-e-a-k-e-r-s. lawd.



Furthermore, if you're going to mess up the Queen's English (I'm speaking about Queen Latifa, or even Lady Gaga if you will), why be so smug about it? We Americans have on way too many occasions rescued you and ensured your ability to speak English--at least try and speak it with the correct accent and write it with the correct spelling. I mean, please respect that. If not for us, you'd probably be speaking German. lawd.




Anyways, I want this thread to be about the things we have in common and not our differences. I love all of you.



GROUP. HUG.

Never heard of that but tramp means something totally different in the US then it does here.

aye, and that goes for bums as well.

Despite the intended humour of this post, remember that Americans were British FIRST, and their colourful way of spelling things was the norm. It's the new settlers than decided to change things and found new favourite ways of the language.

OMG, why are all my lovely British friends getting so worked up?


I posted this with the most well meaning intentions.


Look, it's NOT that difficult to pronounce words corretly with a proper American accent.

Simply butch your voice up a little bit, don't do that strange lisp thing that yall like to do, and pronounce the "Rs" in words when you see them--don't ignore them.


For example, the word "car" is pronounced.... "CAR"... yup. Not "Cah"

I mean, what is "cah" anyways? You're not a bunch of crows for fucks sake!



I love you guys.

That's not British, that's people from Boston!

haha I've noticed that if you really examine the British and most New England accents, they are quite close. Face is that people in the original colonies and beyond never lost much of their accent. It just changed a bit. There's a huge amount of similarities between the UK and New England slant on words and speech. Not so different as people might think.
