ontopic

Pretty stupid to flame a whole country just cause they have different ways of saying stuff.

That's like hating a guy because he pronounces tomato in a different way than you do.

Guy1 : Are those tomatoes (pronounced tomAAto)
Guy2 ; OMG YOU PRONOUNCED TOMATO WRONG,THEREFORE I MUST HATE YOU >:( (here pronounced tomAEto)

And this is yet another reason why the human race is doomed.

Thats a bit of trash ya crum bum. I chalenge you to a bout of fisticuffs!

aces!

I also find it terribly sad that toothbrushes were invented in Britain, but weren't mass-produced until 1780 in America.

Also, we've never had a plague.

Cookie is happier. Biscuits for us are slightly less happy.

According to the CAPalert guy (standard bigot), 'be alarmed if other children start calling your child 'cookie''. I don't suppose you could shed any light on this obscure concept?

Rubbish is a British word. 100% American my arse.

Backseat modding.

true true,
theres a diffrence between american and english languages, america took the language, since we ruled america, then america started a revolution, claimed independece because they were slightly lower paid than decent british ppl who did important work, killed the british troops who worked so hard to defend them, and keep order, then after we decided to leave america, then america decided to piss the brits off by changing the english language, but did we go back and get our revenge on the americans? i think not, so yeah, america = plague on good languages everywhere,
heck i bet when they speak french they garble it up...

American Dentistry for the win.

I would just like to point out that to any American who like to generalise the english, please do it with the english and not the british in your head.

WHAT A FUCKING COINCEDENCE

i just noticed that as i downloaded Itunes. Then i come across this thread.

It says 'English (united states)'

Which is fair enough. It says English and then in brackets United states so as not to confuse americans.

Anyway I'd say americans speak better English than most of us.
They might not speak quite as proper as the queen lol, But they speak better than the majority of English people

Even though Im aussie, we arrived here from Europe and we kick ass, so so does Europe. America needs to be put in the dustbin.

What? We make the easiest language ever, and you change it? The idea is that the words are primitive, so that anyone can easily understand it.

Stop fucking up my dictionary.

yeah your right. americans fucked up our language, while us Aussies just changed it a bit. i mean, you cant say "come on friend!" but you can say "come on mate!". anyway, wtfs with jam being jelly and jelly being.... well.... i dont know what but it sucks. english made up the language, it should stay english! not american! well.... maybe australian...but anyways, america sucks

BUT IN MY OPINION THE JEDI ARE EVIL.

heh, as long as you know what it means.

still, what's the point of calling a game where people carry a ball "Football" and then giving the real Football a stupid name that simply reminds me of stripy socks.

Still, it's English, from England, therefore it's English.

more people agree with me
I like to give all A fair chance(I think the time difference has an affect when all the americans wake up weir gonna be
swamped b angry yanks)
but 4 now_ENGLAND WINS

americans speak more like the queens english than most english do.

England has so many different accents and with the accents come alot of local words, all over england. I no a geordie boy who came down to live here in suffolk an i could hardly fuckin understand him as he found it hard to understand everythin i was sayin.
The english language changes right the way through england.

Americans prounonce there words better above that high pitched whiny accent they have (only jokin) and also looking at the BBS it's always an american which is quick to correct your gramma lol.

A lot of the more traditional english is simular to my language, so I have a tendency to like that more. But in general I can express myself better in "american" english.
In any case, you shouldnt worry about this, because you'll achieve nothing. But if you think of american english as a different language, your point of view will change.. probably.
They DID notify it as "american english" indicating that they speak english with all the slight changes of which you mentioned a couple, I think you'd have more reason to rant if they called it plain english and talked like yankees.

I'm sure Americans still use those words (At least I do).

lift>elevator

lift can refer to so many things, but if someone says elevator, you know what they mean.

Yeah, like if someone says that they're taking the lift instead of the stairs in a hotel, you don't know what they could mean! Is it a noun? Is it a verb? How are we to know!? So many holidays ruined because of the simple fact that we don't have seperate words.

Yeah, well we saved your asses in WW1 and WW2, so I'll say elevator if I want.

If so just place it in this thread on my behalf please

Jingoistic xenophobia.

Anyway, onto the topic at hand.

Who cares if they have different words for things? It's a dialect so they use different words. If you really hate the fact that the American people are " Slaughtering" the English language then I suggest you move out of England as well, 'cause every county you go to will have a different dialect and will have different words for things.

Anyway, why shoudl it botehr you what they call thigns? It's not as though you have to use them is it?
