    Somebody been misquoting me? Naughty naughty.

    Perhaps I should clarify. America HAS ruined the English language. Not because of the changes America has made in its official version of the language, but through the cinema, internet, pop music, and all these other media through which the States enforce themselves upon countries many of them haven't even heard of - together with their poor education system, they're actually spreading these horrendous grammatical and spelling errors through their youth, and it's reaching the rest of the world.

    If everyone spoke American properly, there wouldn't be anything like as much of a problem.

    Don't you mean that if everyone spoke English properly, there wouldn't be anything like as much of a problem?
    There's no such language as American. ;)

    Speaking of which, just look at Bush if you need an example of poor communication skills and poor literacy!

    Bad example, you'll have people trying to tell you that you don't even need them to have the most powerful position in the world now!

    Then again, if the Americans insist on living in a country where there's an American in charge...

    interesting that the words bastardised and americanised mean exactly the same thing but one only refers to Americans...

    Also, notice that we're quite happy with what's happened to English in Australia. Well we tolerate it anyway.

    That's only because Australia has an insanely high hot chick count! Who's gonna pull them up on their grammar, eh? ;)

    I always read Shary Bobbins' posts with a bad imitation Julie Andrews accent ... she is bound to talk like that if she's anything like her namesake!

    Bear in mind, this is the Simpson's version.

    And let's hope she's not more of the Dick Van Dyke order! :)

    I'll have you know I have a wonderful southern American accent, but do speak English and not redneck.:)

    Peace Always:)
