UK-USA

[Doggie]

I was born in West Virginia, the most advanced of the fifty United States. Here is a typical evening in the mountains

I do maintain a venue for culturally culturally deprived Britons

As you can see, civilized people are in a constant state of confusion trying to translate British to English. My moderator is some drunk from Scotland who is barely coherent, but he was elected by the popular vote of his peers.

Ahh, that explains a great deal. You do have my deepest sympathy. [;)]

I've seen the forum and even toyed with joining. When I finally visit the US and do find myself "cuturally deprived" as you so eloquently put it, I will be sure to drop by [:'(]

If you mean destroy our wonderful English language by translating to American English, then I'm not surprised by the confusion. You yanks never cease to confuse the hell out of me. [:D] As for the Scottish. Well, I'm English with a fair portion of Irish blood in me, and proud of it. Yet, I lost my heart to Scotland when I saw those Highlands. I won't even begin to attempt a poor and woefully inadequate description of the jewel that is Edinburgh. Beautiful.

If you're talking about our American friends....it'll never happen!! For one thing, they drive on the wrong side of the road. Nuts! [:'(]

Nuts ? You think that side you're on is correct ? You've got a real problem. You guys have ruined many otherwise safe and sane societies with your cack handedness and driving. Give it a break will ya ? I almost got ran over in more countries than I care to think about because of your wrong headed driving preferences.

To think a guy from Leeds has the nerve to question the proper order of things. Sheesh !

And yet, the rest of the colonies stand silent, as if waiting for the outcome...What of Canada? Australia? NZee? or even India? The King's British WAS exported to areas beyond the USA's.

They're waiting out the conflict, as before. Though, you may be able to launch an attack from there.

We get France!

I think most of the teenagers and kids here in the southwest of England speak American English but with an apple crunchers twang [:D]

Civilised countries eat chips.

Americans eat French Fries.

Chips in the UK are French Fries in the US [:D]

Crisps in the UK are Potato Chips in the US [;)]

and a Fag is a Cigarette in the UK..


Oh and we use rubbers to erase mistakes instead of preventing them from happening. [:D]

Cheers
