You just can't stop posting, can you? You truly are every bit of the definition of a troll.

I just wonder what poor forum you were kicked out of before you found ATOT to dump all of your useless drivel. I know you had to come from somewhere, and I bet there is a 100% chance you were kicked off another forum for the same BS you are pulling here.

"Crisps" is for limp-wristed pansies. Oooohhh, look, it's a packet of crisps!

Fuck that, they're chips. Manly, crunchy sounding chips.

Ok... but the problem with that is when you "chip" something the resultant piece of said thing is not a think wafer link slice, but rather a relatively thick segment of the original, hence when you chip a potato you get chips. When you cut small slices of said potato and cook them they go crisp. Hense crisps. What doesn't happen when you cut segments off a potato is they don't become fries. And you don't chip off crisps.

/Discussion.

In any event your free to interpret the English language into the American language however you see fit. Just don't then go on to say that your'e way of doing this is "right" and mine is "wrong" they are both just different, one interpretation of something is no better than the other and I'm the one speaking the original here, so if anyone was going to be argue that it would be the other english people with a stick up they're arse, but I'm not one of them, feel free to call "Jam" "jello" spell "colour" "color" just don't then be so ignorant as to assume that your'e interpretation is the only right one.

I guess I'll start calling my drinks "wet" and bread "soft". The name doesn't have to be literal, just because it's a "chip" doesn't mean it was chipped off of anything. It's a chip, plain and simple.

Calling it a crisp reminds me of people who call soda "pop" just because "it makes a popping noise, a-hyuk!"

Please read the point I made above, I explained why English people call them crisps, and why I don't care what you call them, neither is wrong, neither is right. It doesn't matter.

My point is that, this is a bout as relevant in this thread as the fact that I'm a member of Mac forums...?

Actually, schneiderguy's comment was relevant because it was a response to mcurphy's comment on your incessant need to post.

Ahh yeah good spot, although he believes I was kicked off somewhere else, I've never been banned from a forum...

What do you call poker chips? They aren't chipped off of anything.

The American Revolution proved that you are wrong.
