I'm more confused by how ass turned into arse. I didn't think arse was an actual word. I thought it was just an accented pronunciation of ass.

Is this thread the result of Jericho raging at Duel?

As soon as YOUR version of football is actually played with a. the feet and b. a ball. 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. Yeah well, ask a European footbal coach how important a goalie is, that doesn't make it a sport you play with your hands. And that ball is a traitor. It doesn't count and neither do American handeggs.

There are people in this world who still use this phrase and think it's a) insulting and b) a sweet burn THIS IS AN EGG. IT'S SHAPED MORE LIKE YOUR STUPID SOCCER BALL THAN A REAL FOOTBALL

IT'S SHAPED MORE LIKE YOUR STUPID SOCCER BALL THAN A REAL FOOTBALL It... really isn't. And I didn't think it was either of those things, I was just making a joke. I also didn't realize it was as common as it apparently is.

Bollocks to that, my humour will contain colour & flavour so that I can harbour with honour a response to your post. Good day sir you arse Oh and don't get me started on needing a Z in every word, I'll recognise that when hell freezes over!!

Threads like this teach me something annoying about myself, namely that I get genuinely angry about shit like this, like American dates being in the wrong order (and it is the wrong order, the American date system makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever). It makes me furious because it makes no sense to me. And sales tax. What the f*** is with sales tax? Whose idea was that? VAT is a way better idea. In other words, I should back out of this thread because I'm going to go f***ing crazy in it otherwise

I have had to pay too much money in additional visa fees over the years due to jumping between US/UK and forgetting to use the correct dating format, that's the only reason I wish there was a universal system, because I'm an absolute buffoon. Bollocks to that, my humour will contain colour & flavour so that I can harbour with honour a response to your post. Good day sir you arse Oh and don't get me started on needing a Z in every word, I'll recognise that when hell freezes over!! Using Z instead of S in certain words is actually the traditional way to spell things in England/Britain too (via Latin use via Greek language), Oxford Dictionaries still use Z in ize instead of S too, but dictionaries just have to stay in trend and aren't technically correct about anything hence the baffling addition of D'oh from the Simpsons being in many dictionaries in the 90s. I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that s in ise was primarily used after one of the world wars as a way to separate British English from US English. There's a whole background on that to look up, but yeah, ize isn't really American, it's one of those nationalistic language rivalry changes that matters feck all when you look at the history of language. Edit: here's an interesting read on it with some more sources/quotes to back the use of Ize over Ise up - www.metadyne.co.uk/ize.html

Ah but a cookie is a type of biscuit What do you call these? Delicious. That or scones. There's probably a prefix to shove along with it to differentiate between sweet/savoury ones. I hope so anyway.

Sales tax totally caught me off-guard when I visited the States. Here's the price of something. Ahh, but it's not the actual price. Took a bit of getting used to.

This is the queen. She invented English. And we should follow her example and speak it properly, with lots of 'u's dotted about the place.

Seriously though, it's a huge culture shock at times. Especially being an American from the midwest in another country. You really don't realize how bred into you certain things are. Not to mention the added bonus of anti-Americanism overseas.
I'm a 32 year old man, from Indiana, been here in New Zealand over 11 years now. I can say all kidding aside this isn't a real jingoistic argument cjb. Try being a "yank" bouncing at bars overseas circa 2002-2005... hell, even today. There's much bigger differences than me saying biscuit when wanting a scone. If anything this is a refreshing conversation.

There's much bigger differences than me saying biscuit when wanting a scone. If anything this is a refreshing conversation. Actually I do, in fact it's a huge thing in my own state
Philadelphia Raised people and Pittsburgh Raised people may as well come from two different worlds sometimes.
There is a whole "You's" and "Yuns" debate we have here
But yeah I understand, huge culture shock and such, but I didn't think it something to get hugely frustrated over is all. People say things how they say things, it's how they came up. It may be strange, but it's normal to them, don't like it, well it's not like they'd change it for you, it's just how they are.
But in the same Breath, the discussion and seeing how many people on FAN are from different parts of the world and can weigh in on the conversation is fun too, if everyones having fun and having good debates, that's what matters most in the end isn't it?
