I can, in England it's wrong.

It isn't wrong; just a different dialect. In a similar way, if a person is speaking with an (I guess English?) accent in America, it isn't WRONG. It is just a different way of speaking.


What's wrong with grey and mould?

I believe it is "gray" and "mold" here. Apparently Americans don't like u's.

On a side note, it's not "british english I'm talking about, just English from England, scots etc say things different.

Sorry, I am a bit ignorant on what to call it. I don't want to call it English, because that is what we call our dialect here...


A fair point, but my issue wasn't with the inaccuracy of calling someone black it was with the inaccuracy of assuming all black people are african in some way.

British people actually have really good teeth because apparently it's covered by universal healthcare.

Meanwhile I haven't seen a dentist in a few years because I didn't have insurance and it's expensive as fuck :(

High five! Yeah that's true national health over here is definitely a good thing.

You cannot live long on the internet if you get offended so easily.

I don't get offended, it passes straight by me like a turd in the sewer, but certain people's posts don't deserve to show up on my monitor, there may be turds going past me in the sewer, but I wouldn't pick it up and look at it.

No because the main ingredient to chilli is mince not shit ;)

Mince is also the main ingrediant to main other dishes. Does the simple addition of chili powder make it chili? What if it was exactly the same as another mince dish, just with a touch of chili powder.

Is it chili now?

Yep it is, chilli powder is what makes chilli chilli, without chilli powder there's nothing to define it as chilli.

In England it's wrong.

What's wrong with grey and mould? I know you guys use theater and color (which my spell check doesn't like) On a side note, it's not "british english I'm talking about, just English from England, scots etc say things different.

Ok my overall most annoying phrase is officially when Americans call me "british" but other people from britain I.e. Scots "scottish" if you mean English say it.

Wow... and you call me Xenophobic.

To you it's Britain is right, the rest of the world is wrong.

Look in a mirror sometimes.

Pot.
Kettle.

I was referring to "you guys" as you are american (mostly) I also referred to americans as I was talking about americans. I didn't however say "all americans are fat, christian retards, and a load of other stereotypes like you did with England. because I don't believe it.

To me it's England is right not britain, because we invented the language. It's called English. The rest of the world isn't wrong it just sounds wrong to me.

Pot.
Kettle.

This is the last response you will recieve from me.

You've said that TWICE now this thread. And once in another thread.

Should/would/could of.
Also, can't take any of neckarb's complaints seriously since he willfully uses "your" in place of "you're".

Also people who say "w w w" when they mean world wide web. It's not an abbreviation to say www out loud, as w w w has 9 syllables in it and world wide web has 3 ;)

Hmm.. I know there is more than one Chilli Pepper, but I thought there was only one chilli powder.

Heh.. I meant the fruit Chili pepper not the varieties of it. But yes, there is only 'one' chili powder in the sense that, there is only one fruit called chili.

Hmm... Interesting, I also didn't realise a chilli was a fruit.
