We LIKE canadians over here. most of them anyway. Not sure about Greg Rusedski, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion or Avril Latrine. Marc Bircham on the other hand, more of the same please! They're also the only country to successfuly invade the USA and burn its capital to the ground.
It's Avril Lavigne but Latrine is a more appropriate spelling since I dislike her music. She seems like a poseur (sp?) to me. I don't like Celine's music either. Who are Greg Rusedski and Marc Bircham? More famous Canadians: Mike Myers of "Austin Powers" and Jim Carrey "Liar Liar". What do you mean about "the only country to successfuly invade the USA and burn its capital to the ground"?
Yes I chose the name Latrine for a reason. Had no idea that Myers and Carrey were canadian but that makes a lot of sense. Greg Rusedski is a canadian born tennis player who now represents GB but isn't very good and managed to fail a drugs test. At least your drugs cheats win! Marc Bircham is a london born lifelong QPR fan who plays for us (currently injured though). He's london through and through, but his grandma once had maple syrup on a pancake or something so he plays for the Canadian national football team - does quite well for them too! And I mean that no other country have ever done it. I've no idea if the french have the word poseur in their vocabulary, however it does exist in english as poser
or Batman Forever, The Cable Guy, Dumb and Dumber, Bruce Almighty, or one of any number of films. But we've all heard of him anyway.
That's how I thought it was spelled anyways. Lots of words have more than one spelling but few have the same meaning when spelled differently.
yes, while 'spelled' isn't. nor is 'learned' (unless you mean the adjective) and I don't like 'dreamed' personally although you can get away with it at times. On the other hand we say 'dived' while you lot say 'dove' and we say 'got' where you say 'gotten' and in those cases what's happened there is you've missed out on England's modernisation of its language. Swings and Roundabouts really.
Spelled is an american english word. It's in my dictionary. Here's a random list of uses of those words from above. The child spelled "speculate" for the audience. I have learned to paint a room. Last night I dreamt that I was a movie star. (I don't say dreamed) I dove into the cool water of the lake. I have gotten my favorite cereal. I just got a million dollars.
Here're a few examples of the queen's english. We say forget, forgot, forgotten, and beget, begot and begotten, but in every English speaking country apart from the USA and possibly Canada we say get, got, got. As far as dreamed/dreamt is concerned you say "I dreamt that something happened", but you CAN say (although I don't myself) "I dreamed a dream".
okay. I talked to my advisor yesterday and he said I can do my Internship in London if I arrange it far enough in advance. What are good museums in London I might be able to work at?
Well my favourites that I got taken to a lot as a child are The Science Museum, The Natural History Museum (both in Kensington), The Museum of the Moving Image (Embankment), The London Transport Museum (Covent Garden) and of course the British Museum (I forget where it is exactly but it's pretty central).
Thanks for the suggestions. I plan on having my internship with the History Channel International television channel. If that doesn't fall though I'll try one of those museums.
Why would I do that? I love tea too much to waste it in some reenactment. I could always throw kegs in the Thames. lol
doesn't have to be real tea. It's not as if people really died in the re-enactment of the battle of marston moor.
