Understanding the British.
#31
RE: Understanding the British.
What confused me when growing up during my high school years in my good ol'e days when I was frequantly sat on by many hot virgins. Is the way americans pronounce certain words.
Like over 'ere we pronounce things like militry instead of military. Also catagry, libry, ect ect.
We also say things like - not half!, buggery and fooking blighter.

Oh and that one that confused me thee most. Process, we pronounce it like this - PRO-cess.
Also the word "ass" was something I would pronounce like I would with the word "as".

I'm going to drink me my bloody hot cup'o tea.........once it cools down that is.Big Grin
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
