How about you don't tell us how to speak (Or in this case spell) our own language? As soon as more Brits can tolerate the American definition of football as coexistent with the traditional one.

THE ROCK DOES NOT GET "PETROL'D" BUT CALLING A LIQUID GAS SURE MAKES A TON OF SENSE

I'll never understand why the day of the month HAS to go first in Europe. That shit's confusing. How is THAT the confusing option? From shortest to longest time unit. Neatly ordered. It's far more confusing to start with second longest, then backtrack to shortest then go forward again with the longest one. It's like Matryoshka dolls, except America's version uses non-euclidean geometry and somehow ends up with dolls that are bigger on the inside than on the outside and can therefore support bigger dolls than themselves. Don't blame us when you wake up the Great Cthulhu and he destroys your cities. AGAIN. ... ... why is Cesaro wearing thigh-highs?

The correct date system goes from shortest to longest max number before resetting, so 12/31/99 would then revert to 1/1/00.

Ask a coach how important punting/kicking specialists are and the science behind that, and the first one is aces. The second one? Well, if this is a ball: ...I think ours is just as valid no matter how hideously mutated it may be.

Colour me surprised, but it seems one of a lot of people's favorite pastimes is to f*** up a word by putting in an unnecessary "u" in it. Fixed

I'm more confused by how ass turned into arse. It didn't. The original was arse but the Yanks dropped the 'r' because they love donkeys.

I here nominate american football to have the name changed to....RunProlateSpheroid Most other places call it "Gridiron" or "American Football" anyway. There's too many other sports that RunProlateSpheroid would fit. Like Aussie Rules and Rugby.
