Scott Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Is you aksin me? I don't like "Have you got a loan of 10p" up here. Heard it in England too, think its a northern thing though. First time I heard it I said "No, I've got my own money". They asked again and again saying noooooo.... "have you got a LOAN of 10p". Took a while but we got there in the end.

Scott Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Strange that you wrote it after my post and not after Michaels though. In fact, no... no, it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 My mistake, I see now. How could I not spot that a takeover by an American company is akin to "I could care less" - So you could? erm, what a pointless statement. "Very addicting" - Addicting? WTF is that? The word is addictive! Stupid merkins. I'm surprised you didn't just miaow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 RACISTS!!!!!! I like America and it's people, leave them alone. "its", surely. Shame on you. I object to the American phrase 'back in the day'. I also dislike 'give it up', in the sense of 'applaud wildly'. No American can pronounce anything ending in 'rier' or 'rior'. For example 'warrior' comes out as 'whirrir'. I've never heard an American say 'furrier', but I'm sure that would be rendered as 'furrrrrr' I'm not sure whether it's an Americanism, but I am increasingly noticing the use of 'electrocuted' to mean 'sufffering an electric shock'. I think some public electrocutions are needed in order to demonstrate the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 RACIST!!!! I'm pretty sure I know what it should be but that just doesn't fit in with what I want to say. Racist. RovF1zsDoeM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 "its", surely. Shame on you. I'll go with the "did it as a test" excuse for now but I won't sleep tonight Shame on me indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm not sure whether it's an Americanism, but I am increasingly noticing the use of 'electrocuted' to mean 'sufffering an electric shock'. I think some public electrocutions are needed in order to demonstrate the difference. I don't think it's an Americanism though, the same as people saying 'literally' as an exageration, like: "I literally died when I saw it.".

Chris Wilson Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 A bit of simple advice. Just don't speak to them, listen to them, or read what they (try) to write. I have found it has served me in good stead ever since one was accepted into my old school as some sort of early PC statement The fact he became a millionaire at a disgustingly young age is obviously solely down to the lack of distraction from his studies by being ostracised by the more gentile members of the school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Check it out. Check this out, or any Brit uttering anything remotely 'gangsta'. It's not big, or particularly clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 its', plural of its? Nope. Although I'm probably wrong but it's is an abbreviation of it is and its' is referring to the term "belonging to". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
