COLOR HONOR CHECK LITER QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

This thread is about America's lack of 'u's in thier words along with other such perfections and why it's so much better that way.

Discuss.

[nik0tine]

huh? am i just stupid? i dont understand.

[TasteyPies]

'U's stink

Boooooo

[CloudSquallandZidane]

'U's stink

Boooooo


yes U suck....

j/king i couldnt resist....

[Takara]

*smacks you all with the 'u'* Yankees...

[Yamaneko]

The metric system IS superior to what we use. As for the adding of letters, yeah, that's a bunch of baloney.

[Erdrick Holmes]

American spelling of some words suck.

[Takara]

We didn't add a letter. It's you guys who were too lazy and removed it. Duh. :tongue:

[edczxcvbnm]

Removing a letter and getting everyone to recognize it is more work so its you people that added it!

ITS COLOR! NOT colour. American English rocks on so many levels.

[Takara]

More people in the world actually speak "English" as opposed to "American English" so HA! We win. :twak:

[Polyonymous]

laugh..... why cant it be spelt laf?

[edczxcvbnm]

More people in the world actually speak "English" as opposed to "American English" so HA! We win. :twak:

I think you mean 'write' and not 'speak'. YOU SEE! The language you are writing with is making you STUPID!!!! Stop before it engulfs your soul!

[Takara]

Speak, write, whatever. I blame lack of sleep and the fact I'm blonde for interchanging those words.

[Psychotic]

Colour > Color. Color looks ugly. Like colon.

[edczxcvbnm]

You have a problem with colons? They are such useful punctuation though ;_;

FOREVER PRAISE THE :

IN : We trust

[Psychotic]

SEMI-COLONS FOR LIFE.

[Takara]

Semi-colons are far more superior.

*high-fives Psychotic* That's the spirit! :D

[edczxcvbnm]

Yeah but they are useless in all reality. Semi-colons are there to make people who know how to use them look smart. Anyplace you would use one you could put a comma or a period there depending on the situation.

THE COLON however just has to be used when it is needed. Its like an ass-kicking machine in the English language(either one damn it).

Just speaking out of wackyness....since America has no language STANDARD, why are we forced to take english in school? Why not force use to take french or german instead? There is no standard so does it really matter?

[Psychotic]

But if you look at it, the second "o" in colon is pronounced differently than the second one in "color" so it should be spelt colour. Or maybe it's pronounced like that with weird American accents, I don't know :D

[edczxcvbnm]

Yeah but you say it the same as in 'ON' and 'OR' so it makes sense. You don't spell it OUR because its a different word entirely. It makes perfect sense. I'm not out of order...the whole frickin' system is outta order!

[Psychotic]

I don't say colour as "or" though. It's more "cuh-lur" than "cuh-lor" :D

[edczxcvbnm]

Well we say it col-OR mother :love::love::love::love:a :D

I see the problem stems from the crappy accents outside of america, although america still has the crappiest of them all....the horrid Southern Accent.

[Psychotic]

I see the problem stems from the crappy accents outside of america.

It doesn't so much stem as originate seeing as there were English accents before American ones. American ones are a corruption of the original English ones, and so therefore so is the language.

[edczxcvbnm]

Ever hear of 'EVOLUTION'? We are just more evolved while you wallow in your old crapulance! Get with the times man.

American English is to English is as Garfield the Movie is to the original cartoon.

[edczxcvbnm]

No no no no no. Ghetto english is to english as Garfield the movie is to Garfield the comic.

[Erdrick Holmes]

American English is to English is as Garfield the Movie is to the original cartoon.

That has to be the best compairison I'd ever seen. Good jorb.

[HOOTERS]

Yeah you yanks butchered the English language. And not the good kind of butcher either that gives you free frankfurts. :smash:

[Lindy]

Of corse, the letter u is seless, why we never ever se the letter, do we?

It's never fond in anything, what a seless letter.

Americans are too bsy trying to deal with terrorists and Saddam Hssein to deal with such a seless letter.

[edczxcvbnm]

Nah. In the past we were busy cleaning up the worlds mess of WWI and WWII and before that we were busy kicking Englands Ass as well as everyone elses ass....damn we kick a lot of ass.

[Takara]

And because you kicked so many asses, you have 2/3 of the planet hating you. Way to go! :rolleyes2

[Citizen Bleys]

*accidentally burns down the White House*

...again.

[edczxcvbnm]

Your all just so jealous because we can clean shit up and you can't. Don't be hatin'

[TasteyPies]

fo shizzle

[Citizen Bleys]

I, however, am able to speak--correctly, at that.

[Shoeberto]

Has anyone ever noticed how some people - mainly English and some Americans - pronounce idea as "idear"? That's always sort of bugged me.

[edczxcvbnm]

Those people are from what I call 'The South'.


I, however, am able to speak--correctly, at that.

You just keep thinking that. Little do you know you are being passed up for jobs left and right. WHY MUST YOU BELIEVE that you speak right. You can change before it is too late.

[Citizen Bleys]

Jobs as what, ebonics instructors? I think not.

[edczxcvbnm]

No way man. More like THE NEW BILL GATES. That job gives you lots of money. The only jobs you can currently get is being an example of what NOT to do :D

[Citizen Bleys]

Meanwhile, in the real world...

[Giggles]

It makes me sad that we don't use 'u's. I think we should start using them.

[Del Murder]

At least we kept some.

For, example:

ed, watch yor langage and don't call people stpid.

just looks funny without the u's.

[edczxcvbnm]

Meanwhile, in the real world...

I don't have MTV so I can't watch the show. I heard it was really bad though.

[Baloki]

You have a problem with colons?

Arn't they near your intestines?

[Jebus]

It makes me sad that we don't use 'u's. I think we should start using them.

Oh good. I'm not the only one who does.

Colour > color.

[Loony BoB]

The really dumb thing about writing 'color' instead of 'colour' is that you made it even more inaccurate. It should be culler. Which, conveniently, has a u.

Whenever I see 'color' I think of colon as well. Just out of curiosity, do you guys have the same sounds (aside from the r and n) when you say those two words?

Don't even get me started on the fence, defence, defense issue. Totally inconsistent. It should be fence and defence or fense and defense. The words, apart from the 'de' (which can be said in two different way depending on what definition of defence you are using), are said in exactly the same way.

I think a European said it best when he looked at both languages and said that English is all messed up and American English messed it up even more.

[crono_logical]

Now USA just need to rename themselves SA and have a large forum :p

[Loony BoB]

SA?

South Africa?

Soth Africa?

[Rye]

I type the words that can either be typed with a "U" or without, the "U" way. I don't put the "R" infront of the "E" though.


Whenever I see 'color' I think of colon as well. Just out of curiosity, do you guys have the same sounds (aside from the r and n) when you say those two words?

I know I don't. I say colour as "cullur."

[Citizen Bleys]

Or better yet, revive the CSA. Go Jake Featherston!

[Loony BoB]

R in front of the E is awful. Rye. ;) But yeah, I don't think many people I know use centre instead of center. I work for the largest IT company in the UK, let alone Europe, and it's called Computacenter, not Computacentre. So yay.

[Jebus]

I use centre. ;_;

I think it looks better.

[Mo-Nercy]

Colour Honour Cheque...

I tend not to spell things the American way unless it looks better that way (which it rarely does) but the one exception I can think of is the world "Jail" where the alternative, non-american way of spelling it is "Gaol" which honestly, is really stupid looking.

[Baloki]

"Jail" where the alternative, non-american way of spelling it is "Gaol" which honestly, is really stupid looking.

And on which world might they use that spelling or term?

[Mo-Nercy]

And on which world might they use that spelling or term?
Australia. I'm not sure about other places though.

[Baloki]

Australia. I'm not sure about other places though.

Sorry thought you were making it up, please don't set the lawninja's on me *runs*

[edczxcvbnm]

Whenever I see 'color' I think of colon as well. Just out of curiosity, do you guys have the same sounds (aside from the r and n) when you say those two words?

No. We say it Cul-or and Col-on(this one is just like it is spelled...go figure). Completely different words and a completely different way of pronouncing them.

We say cul-or. We prounounce or and our differently also, so when we say col-or that is how it sounds for the most part also.

[Loony BoB]

It's more of an 'er', really.

[edczxcvbnm]

Not where I live(midwest). Remember that the United states is big and vast and there are many different accents through out the country.

Maybe in some parts they say Coler but here we say Color.

[Cz]

crapulance!
Crapulence.

I think that the only real advantage 'Proper' English has over American English is it's use of 'Aluminium' over that god-awful 'Aluminum'. Everything else is simply a matter of personal preference.

[Rainecloud]

I don't see the point of arguing over this.

You Americans can keep your spellings, and I'll keep mine.

[fire_of_avalon]

Well I'd rather piss everybody off and turn all "-er", "-or" and "-our" endings into "a". Color/Colour/Culler/flapjacks = colla. Just pretend I'm from Baa Haabaa and we'll be in business.

I have southern accent, and it's better than ed's non-existent southern accent. So what then?

[Rusty]

I am quite happy with the australian way of spelling things with the 'u's. But I dont get why you would spell colour without the 'u'. It looks weird...color. I prefer colour :)

[Ki Ki]

I don't get why you don't spell ew with a 'u'. Why is it ew? When you say it like "e-u"? It should be e-u. not ew.

[Maxico]

Not where I live(midwest). Remember that the United states is big and vast and there are many different accents through out the country.

Thats nothing special. because the UKs been around so long pretty much every city has its own accent.

[Doomgaze]

I don't get why you don't spell ew with a 'u'. Why is it ew? When you say it like "e-u"? It should be e-u. not ew.

Take THAT, European Union!

[Psychotic]

Take THAT, European Union!

Guess what? Most British people hate the EU as well. :)

[Linus]

This thread sucks.

[Baloki]

This thread sucks.

Then lets all Suck oN Linus...

*runs cos hes weirded out himself*

[Psychotic]

Then lets all Suck oN Linus...


Best idea I've heard all day. Everyone should suck on Linus at least once in their life.

Especially seeing as this is a "Troll people who spell normally" thread. :elk:

[Loony BoB]

Thats nothing special. because the UKs been around so long pretty much every city has its own accent.
He's right, it's really freaky too. I wouldn't be surprised if there are about ten accents in the UK for every accent in the US. It's scarey. o_o; I like NZ, where there's like... two that you can barely tell apart.

[Shoeberto]

I don't see the point of arguing over this.

You Americans can keep your spellings, and I'll keep mine.
Yeah, and you English-types can keep yors.
