To the rest of you : ITS A FUCKING U! A U!
*mumbles incoherently while twitching my way to bed....

*wonders what got PT into such a snit...

BTW, my British mates, is it spelled, or spelt?

Gee...You Brits sure are touchy today. How would you define Normality and Privacy?

Some Americans say "normalacy" not normality... and pronounce privacy with an elongated "i" like in ice.... Eeeeurgh!

*wonders what got PT into such a snit...

BTW, my British mates, is it spelled, or spelt?

I believe both have become common place and acceptable... I actually prefer using both...

As in...

"It was spelt.... "

"I spelled..."

Don't know why!

Let us not forget the barely dodged hash of the english language attempted by ol' Hundred Buck Benny.


Yeah, that would have made it all better, wouldn't it?

That is a pretty awesome story. At this sorry a** place I work, you are lucky if you get so much as a "good job" or "thanks". God I hate this stupid hospital!

Um, sorry - it has been a bad week already.

An Englich prof of mine used to say that the Americans were too lazy to spell out the whole word and thus removed the 'u' from most words requiring it.

Humour, ardour, palour, parlour etc..

I guess that Canada is closer to Britain that we'd thought, eh?

The Home Depot location I work at has been kicking ass in sales this year. The company rewards stores for that with something called "success sharing," which is a cash kickback based on a percentage of how much over sales plan you are. It's divided up among the employees based on how much each earned over the six-month period. My store is, I hear, going to have $47,000 to divvy up among the employees. The only problem is that you have to have been there for at least 90 days as of July 31 in order to get a kickback. Most of the employees haven't been there that long; my 90 day anniversary is in September. So, no cash kickback for me.

Considering how long Canada was the UK's 'lap-dog', I don't see how this couldn't have happened...

Normalcy...

Privacy advocates private. A privvy is a WC. There's a reason

Considering Canada has laws regarding the Quebcois and French, why wouldn't they enact laws dealing with the US and American English? We are Canada's largest trading partner, and nearest neighbor...
