And I hit them in the skull. If they want to talk like that they can go back to England. This is America, we speak American.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
dilemma: if a girl calls "z" a "zed" can i slap her? does it matter where i slap her?

I use various British curse words pretty regularly, as well as British pronunciation on many other words. British English simply sounds more intelligent.

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

This is the Japanese view.

You might very well say that. I couldn't possibly comment on that...
Which is famous catchphrase of an old BBC series. A bit akin to American phrases like 'Hasta la vista, baby!'
Which goes to show that the real difference is not in semantics or spelling, but in the use of language.
Ahh...good old Francis Urquhart. You don't get a better English name than that.
Although I was at school with a Farrington, a Carruthers, a Thompkinson and a Clive. Well not the last one, he was there 200 years earlier.
As someone who naturally pronunciates with 'flat' vowels, I have it on good authority that swearing in a Yorkshire/Manchester accent is very effective. Time to beat the whippet with me clogs.....
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Meh. I've long used various British terms and pronunciations. Perhaps not frequently, but enough that my friends no longer look at me strangely when I do. (Although gods help anyone within earshot when I'm drunk, as I tend to affect just about the worst Scottish accent in the universe.)![]()
