Is there a post from Kier...

[Peggy]

Lol actually Kier 'round these parts people would probably say something that would be spelled something like:

Whatcha wanna do , or whaddayahgunnado said as one word

To tell you the truth I think everyone has their own version of english.

good gawd, what parts are you from??

Oh wait, I usta talk like that too.

Anyway, as Christopher Columbus once said: "Pwned!" ...

 

[Peggy]

Presumably you mean a silent letter?

Like Knoxville?

I did mean letter. thanks. heheh corrected. and wth is it with these double letters! WHY does letter need an extra t?? or corrected an extra r? Makes NO sense to me.

Well where I live there is SOOOOO many different people from different places and they are not shy about letting you know and I guess a little bit of everyone gets cut up and stitched into another's verbal quilt.

 

[Kier]

WHY use a [letter] that is silent anyway?

Like Knoxville?

Or herb, fillet...

And before you say they are pronounced with the letters silent due to their French origins, guess where the 'u' in 'humour' and 'glamour' and other such words came from?

Every tribe has its crosses to bear; ours, at the moments it seems, is the very small minority of thugs who turn up at any protest and inflame it.

I see to remember though, that whilst our thuggish students damaged a building or two, the Los Angeles riots destroyed whole swathes of buildings and no end of vehicles and shops too.

That old adage of the Americans doing everything bigger and better seems to be true, eh?

Thing is, probably somewhere around 60% of those involved in those riots weren't even Americans. Now ain't that a chigger for ya.

Yes, sorry, that was a low blow. Apologies.

[EQnoble]

~one-upmanship ...

Sounds like a mario brothers achievement LOL

 

[AnthonyCea]

Riots ??

The sophisticated Brits would never do such a thing !!!

What you kids need is a rock concert, maybe Prince Charles will host one soon and bring out the commander of the British Empire Robert Plant.

Not to get off topic in this off topic but is anyone else feeling an internal caffeination deficit at the moment , I just suffered the worst insta-coffee crash.

Hmmm ... I've got to start using the quote button. Looks a bit random otherwise.
