what are you supposed to do

I love the way Brits say "brocco-LIE". It's so cute.

I spent most of last night talking to xkissikx and scarlett723 on AIM before we had to go out. Convinced her to come to the People's Pub. Heather, not alyssa. Anyway. It was me and Reg and Steve and Cristin and Heather and Jeremy and Quent. It was too loud to talk a ton, but that didn't stop some people. It was nice. And then a couple ppl came back for some ATHF. I went to bed b/c my fucking jaw aches.

THE END

Heather, not alyssa

I know two roommates who are social f'ing butterflies named Heather and Alyssa.

It's like the motherf'ing Twilight Zone up in this piece.

[perich.livejournal.com]

OTOH, I *hate* the way Brits say "Aloominium".

speak n' spell

[patosa.livejournal.com]

it's actually the correct spelling and pronounciation of the word. some giant american company misspelled it on a buttload of stationary and decided to go with it because everyone's too stupid to know the difference. but not the brits!

(it's also the only word i ever spelled wrong in a county spelling bee. silly british parents teaching me the right way to do things.)

I don't care whether it's correct or not. In this country it's "Aluminum".

and that's why americans have such a bad reputation.

Re: speak n' spell

No, it's not. Americans have a bad reputation because they think they're superior. The way we speak is a dialect and nothing more.

you don't consider that to be acting superior?

(i'm not going to continue this in laural's journal because i know how she feels about canucks!)

Re: speak n' spell

No, it's not acting superior at all. If I moved to England or any other English-speaking country and began "correcting" them, that would be acting superior.
