Don't you just hate the way Americans have ruined the English language and called it English!?

I was watching Room 101 last night with Alan Sugar (The Apprentice) on, and that was one of his hates. He said is wife went to America and asked for something with dots on, and the American didn't understand her, saying it was PolkaDots and she should speak English!

Also, they have renamed "imperial" measurements "english" even though the English (us) use metric now, and they use imperial!

[/rant]

its just another thing that theyve copied from England, such as (New) York

They should change it to American

That's what I think, they've butchered it so much and tried to make it officially English, which it isn't, it's American now. It wouldn't matter if it was a bit of slang, but they've gone to far!

theyve simplified it, to work wiv there slow minds. What i also hate is when on xbox live, they start insulting us. They say oooooo, lets go have some afternoon tea, and they think we all wear tophats, and talk in weird voices. Then they tell us to lick our mums pussies (or as an american wud spell it, pussys). And wot they dont no is that they decend from us, yet they act like were french, and shud be shat on. C'mon, we are better than you, we dont vote for George Bush, ok we have Tony, but least the Tories havent come to power for ages. And even after what george has done, and the documentries (mainly michal Moore) that have been made, still respect him, and give him a second year. GOD, get a life. Good thing george cant be in power another year. Just because the american won a fight, and saved us in the world war 2 (or was it one) they think there all high and mighty, if they really did save us, why didnt they do it before everyone died, instead of sitting around watching TV, and then sayin, "hey, i just watched a movie, with my supersized, burger, fries, popcorn, undiet with 100% extra sugar soda, and two milk shakes, where this guy saved the world just before all were dead, i no, apparently theres a war goin on in europe and all are almost dead, we could look all great if be blow half of japan apart and kill another billion people with a new bomb, which still needs to be tested. Hey we get to test the bomb and stop a almost finished war, two birds with one stone." So they blew apart japan and stopped the war, big whoop. Hey y dont we get all of the world to wage a war on the USA. That be kwl. And then we cud wipe out wots dragging us down.

OK, I think you shuld calm down a bit. And use more full stops.

Yeah, they were English about 300 years ago, which ain't that long to ruin the language!

I also noticed you mentioned the World Wars - there are now loads of films with Americans doing what the English did in the war - Enigma, for example (actually, that might have been some other European country, but it wasn't America).

KK, so im ruinin the language, but least i can ADMIT to it. Instead of just adding "new" to everything. You can probably find where you live in america. I no ive seen my village there. But they normally add "new" to the beginning

Well theres Gloucester in Massecutics in america withour the word 'new' (sorry bout my spelling)

Yeah, lol, they've sometimes too lazy to add new.

New Newent, well there's an idea!

lol the american words have some crazy words eg faucet (tap) how do u pronounce it? *f**k it?*

Haha, yeah! Actually, I'm not sure, but I think faucet is used in England as well, or is American infectious? You can buy faucet on EBay UK, suppose it just sounds posh/fancy (which isn't what I think or American).

Here we go - [url=http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~jphb/american.html]Clicky[/url]

Sulphur just looks wrong spelt Sulfur! However we now are meant to write it like that :(

Yeah, it does look wrong, and I didn't even know they'd ever written it like that!

Actualy faucet or however it is spelt is pronounced force-it not f**k it. which would be more appropriate for the americans as most of them are slappers or hookers, yeah im going to america ( if i say that outload at school will simeine shoot me how could i ever want to go to america what was i thinking)

plus on the theme of languge if the americans didn't copy us they would still be trying to invet the tyre because you see the americans are so stupid that they cant do anything then selves and that is why they have to copy us if they didnt then the box a pot noodle cames in would be twice the size because of all the instuctions they would ahve to put on it. ha ha ha ha thse stupid americans.

You missed a bit out - they copy us, stick some fancy stuff on it (or make it bigger) and claim it was their idea in the first place!

its just like americans all over then really their born grow up and put something extra on mainlt skimpy clothes and weight.

yeah, how tru, or we make somethin funny, we love it, and then the americans, somehow find it "funnier"

the americans summed up in one word

wait for it

lol

That's 10 words without the spaces!

i know

lol

So it's not one word. I suppose there is too much to say about America in one word.

yesletsinvent a new word and send it to the oxford englich dictionary and ask then to putthis new word in

ant ideas

im sure you have many

hee hee hee

Hmm, intresting, but I'm not that creative.

hows about

americanos-idiotus-biggus

I don't think it works like that. For a start a word shouldn't make much sense on it's own, and that is the equivalent of a full sentence.

well maybe it should be a multiple word definition
