It's our language you moron! If you don't speak English like the English then you're doing it wrong!

gmku 05.10.2009 09:08 AM

Your language? Spoken with the typical arrogance of a Brit. We had to rescue the language from you twats to make it right, you dumb shit limey. Wot?

Lurker 05.10.2009 09:47 AM

Yes our language. I'm not just British, I'm English. I speak English.

You use the word twat, a very British word, and yet you think you have saved the English language. Surely you shouldn't if you were trying to save the language but you're using the development that are specifically British.

gmku 05.10.2009 10:16 AM

It's not your language. It's American English, ie, the right English. But stick to your silly limey English if you so choose. My regards to the Queen. Too bad we didn't invade your country when we had the chance and Condy Rice was still at the helm.

Lurker 05.10.2009 05:30 PM

Shakespeare.

gmku 05.10.2009 05:34 PM

Ernest motherfucking Hemingway.

Vladimir sonofabitching Nabokov.

The thing for me is that there are hundreds of versions of English. The one that I speak is different from the one you speak, and gmku is different again.

You've lived in the same area as me, but do you know where it's appropriate to say 'belter' or 'bleeder' or 'beauty'? Three words that all have a similar intent and sociolectical definition (loosely, an obviously stupid person), but they each come from a different borough in south Bristol. The point I'm making is that they English you use is by no means a more orthodox version of English just because you're 'English' - in fact, in this instance, I imagine that your English is just as inorthodox a form of English as the English of someone from Kentucky, or Kingston, or Nairobi or Swansea.

Standard English is, to my mind, an ideal formed in the subconscious of the world, not something that actually exists. It's fine that a lot of people are inobservant of these distinctions, but these distinctions do exist and it's precisely these distinctions that make us humans. Innit bredrin?

say it in Broookkeennn English...
