dreamwalker said:1. "revocation" and "aluminium"- I can't help it I mispronounce them
"vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable-I agree.
"interspersed"-I know what it means
2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.-please let Microsoft know.
3. English and Australian accents-I don't know the difference.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys-sounds good to me.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through-Hell no!
6. "football"-I don't give a damn about sports anyway.
7. War on Quebec and France-nah, more trouble that it's worth-I recognized "merde"
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday-what do I do with my fireworks?
9. All American cars are hereby banned-as long as I have something to drive I don't care.
10. Please tell us who killed JFK-you tell me and we'll both know.
Thank you for your cooperation-you're welcome
ya, NME!

NeedMoreEmo said:1. I forget how you say aluminium but you also say iodine wrong (io-deen, not diiine)
2. I thought it was American English, not US English.
3. English accents are like "Hello old chap" and Australian accents are completely different "Whats that, skippys fallen down a mindshft?"
4. American hero movies annoy the hell out of me, but I dont mind your Hollywood heartthrobs in the slighest
5. God save our noble queen, god save our gracious queen
8. We have a holiday called "Bonfire night" on Nov 5th where we let fireworks go off all night in celebration of a plan to blow up our parliament being thwarted.
dw, glad not everyone jumped on my back
NeedMoreEmo said:I didnt write it anyway, as you pointed out. I just found it quite amusing and thought Id share, its not my fault you're too serios.

That Bonfire night sounds like fun, makes me want to go to England next November
I find this whole thing amusing more than anything else, and interesting to see the differences between two cultures pointed out. There is a surface resemblance between the two, but so many differences as well. Anyway, I don't hang out here to get pissed at people, I hang out here because it's fun

Drool-Boy said:1. I forget how you say aluminium but you also say iodine wrong (io-deen, not diiine) - We dont say it wrong, we just say it differently
2. I thought it was American English, not US English. - Either one is correct
3. English accents are like "Hello old chap" and Australian accents are completely different "Whats that, skippys fallen down a mindshft?" - I can tell the difference between the English and Aussie accents as Ive spent time with both
4. American hero movies annoy the hell out of me, but I dont mind your Hollywood heartthrobs in the slighest - 90% of Hollywood movies are crap anyways
5. God save our noble queen, god save our gracious queen - The bombs bursting in air, if you stretch it too much itll tear
8. We have a holiday called "Bonfire night" on Nov 5th where we let fireworks go off all night in celebration of a plan to blow up our parliament being thwarted. - See, everyone likes blowing shit up
