I'm gonna get slaughtered for what I am about to say. WWS or another IA (intelligent American, yes they do exist), will pick apart everything I am about to say, in an effort to find an error in my grammar, spelling or punctuation. But who gives a flailing tea towel
Americans find it hard to spell, so the government made the language easier for them to learn. For example the word COLOUR is spelled with a U, but in America, they have taken out the U, as it is "un-needed" as an American would say (because they often make up words). What they actually meant to say was "American children can't spell and so the U shall be removed"
. Another thing, watching Fox news live, on sky, as I usually do when I want to laugh at stupid people
(that's the point where I get banned) anyway back to the point, I was watching it when the main news reporter, sitting at the desk, said "who'd of thunk it" THUNK!?!?!
THUNK, I had to laugh. I thought to myself "If that is going out on national television, in America and indeed international television across the world. That guy is supposed to be a representative of smart people in America and yet he STILL, is making up words that don't actually appear in any dictionary anywhere, right in front of me". Then I sat there laughing for about 5 minutes.
Right, now I've had my laugh. Seriously folks, Americans are real people too. Just because opening a can of beans troubles their brains, does that mean we should ridicule them, YES it does! [:D]Happy holidays!
ok ok sorry, don't take me seriously, I'm fooling around, feel free to take the mickey out of English people, its funny
