Hell man, you should see the kind of shit that the Brits (minus the welsh, they're cool) try to pass off as cookies.
Look at that crap! I wouldn't feed it to my dog.

Just so you guys know:
"Jag-whar" is a US mispronunciation of jaguar. I said it like that until I read and learned that it is incorrect in US and British English, then I never said it again. Just like "Porsh" and "Poor-sha" (Porsche), it is supposed to be "Jag-you-er" even here in The States and we just near-universally screw it up.
OTOH, they keep spelling words with -ise that we spell with -ize despite the official endorsement and recommendation of our spelling in their manuals and guidelines. Same goes for "programme."

How about "orientated" --> "oriented" ?
Please?
For some reason, that extra syllable REALLY bothers me.

How about making these changes?
"orientated" --> "oriented"
"disorientated" --> "disoriented"
Please?

As a consummate biscuit eater, I feel somewhat trolled by this thread.
They call them scotch pancakes here.
