I'm the only one here so far that speaks proper English. The rest of you speak Bastardised English...
Oh wait! You actually are ENGLISH, aren't you? I automatically love you, despite the overlooked apostropheeet! YEET YOWWWWWWWWWW! *Furrowed brow at own uncontrollable outbursts*


Being English means i am entitled to overlook apostropheeets.

Its my language and i will do what the hell i want with it!
Actually, English has Latin roots, so technically it's THEIR language to do with as they please, good English-speaking sir! :wink:


It also has Germanic and Anglo-Saxon roots. Roots dont give ownership. English is definately English, the clue is in the name.

so what was the point of this topic
Does everything have to have a point, miss?
miss?
Hahahaha. Sorry. Couldn't resist, mate.

It also has Germanic and Anglo-Saxon roots. Roots don't give ownership. English is definitely English; or . or : the clue is in the name.
I know. I just couldn't remember those others off the top of my head; thank you. I'm pretty sure roots do give some sense of ownership, though, seeing as they were our linguistic predecessors and that means something. But let's not even bring the Tower of Babel into this, alright? :wink:

Let's just say you're right; you, being English, own English. Should we re-write the rules based on your malapropisms and misspellings? That is going to SUCK!!

(Yes, I know you're just joking; so am I. Okay?)

Joking?

I never joke. Everybody knows that.

No my vernacularisms should not be copied. You should just work on de-bastardising the language you use and give English its full respect.

Oh, I admit that "American" has many an issue, indeed. Still, I am recalcitrant: I will never, ever spell "organized" with an "s" or "flavor" with that superfluous "u" except in jest! ¡Viva La Revolución! (Haha, saying that in Spanish (Cuban?) makes no sense!)

Being English means an automatic win for me, and being a racoon means an automatic fail for you.

That is final.

By you? By the whole English-English society?

If the latter, that seems a bit unfair to say, you xenophobic limey. :wink:

(I don't know how harsh a term that is in your vernacular, "limey," but I mean it in a light-hearted-ish sense, rest assured.)

Its ok we dont get offended by citrus fruits.

Respect is a two way thing, if you dont respect English to begin with, why would you expect the English to respect you?

Good to know, especially since I'm part orange! *Worried glances*

I really do respect the English, though; in fact, I may be a bit biased in the opposite way, having almost a blind adoration for their culture and, ahem, accents. I also, all joking aside, love the English's idiosyncratic, often beautiful use of language (and, quite secretly, I enjoy that superfluous "u").

Someone once told me that Australians actually most accurately speak--specifically verbally pronounce words--English though. Is that true?

You actually have quite a reasonable command of English, for a racoon. If i wasn't so stiff upper-lipped i might have been impressed.

Who said that? Was it an Austrailian?

*Prances out of defensive position in corner and appreciatively leaps in circles, then becoming startled by own tail and attacking self, ripping out tail's fur and whipping rabies-infected saliva everywhere*

...Thanks! You do, as well, command English well...of course.

Haha, yes, it was!
