Man, if some of you stubbed your toe you'd blame the US.

I stubbed my toe in America once. If I wasn't in America, I wouldn't have stubbed my toe.

Mirage is not American. Try again. I'll give you 100 guesses, but maybe knowing the truth will take the fun out of it for you.

Thankfully I don't know anyone who uses this phrase.

Not at all. Hell, I'm not a patriotic person. I have MANY, MANY problems with the US. Just making note of all the potshots taken at the country in the forum.

Now, go eat a potato and drink some Guinness. ;)

This phrase just HAPPENS to be American, this is not an anti-American post. There's English phrases that annoy me too (Well-jell being one). You may be a tad over sensitive about this without consciously knowing it.

This is relevant to the conversation.

The next possible conclusion is that the language started out ruined (most ruinous in the age of Shakespeare), and Americans inherited this ruin from the British, but that somehow Victorian English “saved” the English language from ruin.

If this is true, it is still not true that the Americans “are ruining” or “have ruined” the language. It was still the English who ruined it. And if you believe this one, I think you’ve got far more serious problems than worrying about language.

The final view is of course that language changes, and that claims of ruin or otherwise have nothing to do with language, and everything to do with feelings of cultural superiority and bias.

Many people in England will never forgive the world for allowing the sun to set on the British Empire – and will certainly never forgive the USA for being a more powerful nation than the UK.

I don't trust language expert on the internet, the internet is owned by americans, just look at google and youtube, it just speaks american.
Here is proof.
Internet Users - Top 20 Countries - Internet Usage
Internet is basically made for americans to be outspoken, and you can find lots of evidence on that, that most are indeed americans and they feel they have to tell everyone their views.

But if i'd talk to a professor about this, then i'd ask questions and get more into this, and i'd cheer, bravo "claps". Getting into language studies at a university, not that i am a master at it. But i do know this
UK = Colour
US = Color

Because i remember: GameBoy Colour.
The truth must prevail :)

And you're assuming that I think you're being anti-american. I never said that. You did.

Christ man, it was a joke.

I can't concentrate on this bollox any more the conversation at the next table between Jiro an Niale has become much more interesting.

*snip*

I have not met you, so i don't know.... hmm..."gets a drink, thinks" "Skips and jumps to the next question"
Master Race, well that was according to Hitler's theory of Aryans. Come to think of it, i just hum to this song every now and then ^^
*snip*
Sounds cool.
But i'm not wrong, when it comes to the most active internet users though ;)
But its chill, we just need to... lower our hands together and just sit down, and have a good old relaxation mode. Mmmm, peace ^^
