American (isms)

[Chris Wilson]

Well, I am glad it's not just me. Two of my favourite rants below.. God damn it

 

'American is NOT a language. It is a bastardisation of English, and to suggest phonetic spelling is better, then why do they not have their own dictionaries to illustrate EVERY word in phonetic American.?'

 

'There is no such thing as 'American English'. There is English. And there are mistakes.'

 

 

Maybe I can get some sleep tonight now

I do like this young man, is he new?

 

No not new - there were just too many instances of fender and hood coming up - that and the amount of Z(eds) not Z(ees) starting to come up more in text, (especially CV's what is it with these people - straight in the bin) British based companies with center instead of centre in the name... and another thing that bothers me is when you do spell it correctly the 'God damn' computer dares to tell me I haven't spelt it correctly because it's set to American English which doesn't even exist! don't start me off again!
