Go fuck yourself.
I wanted to spell "gray," but thought it was "grey." I confirmed using a dictionary and it said "grey" is British. And what's the deal with using "ise" instead of "ize?" And why "colour" instead of "color?"
Why do they like the letter "u" so much, yet they wage a war with the letter "z?" 11/13/2010 3:37:26 PM |

The monarch is nothing more than a puppet, a tool, if you will. You want to defend the English of tools? 11/13/2010 3:43:34 PM |

^Brits don't generally ad 'r's to the ends of things, they glaze over them like they don't exist. Example: "Are" sounds like "Ahh".
Then again I suppose there are shitload of regional dialects in britain, so you might just be thinking of a different one than I am.
