    this is slightly unrelated, but... do english people have taco places like taco bell and stuff? i was craving tacos earlier while thinking about this forums, and i thought...."hmmm i wonder how many taco bells they have in england.... do they even eat tacos over there?! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!". tacos are kinda mexican/american, but if they are as big in spain as they are in mexico, do they have a lot of taco places in europe? (tacous lol)

    That's because you're Swedish.

    You Swedes, you so crazy.

    Australians generally spell the British way.

    Way to colonise us, guys.

    I'm not bothered by 'color' if I see it, but I'd definitely feel as if I'm in the wrong if I wrote anything but 'colour'. Arguing about how pronunciation is affected by spelling is silly. This is ENGLISH we're talking about. We're spelling virtually the same as our 15th century counterparts were but we sure don't talk like them anymore.

    If I wanted to spell words how they're spoken, then as an Australian, I'd be spelling 'sauce' and 'source' the same, 'park' would become 'pahk', 'paper' -> 'paypah'

    We don't like R's.

    There are no taco places in the UK, not in the Northwest anyway, I don't know about London or the bigger cities. I don't even know what a taco is aaah~

    @Mo Nercy. I speak exactly the same. North west English accents > all B)
    things like "gutted" are spoken "guh-ed" here, you can hardly even hear the ts.

    You're clearly stupid. The North does rule though. I love it there. It just feels like home.

    North west Engand is amazing :] I've been to the South and I hated it, the north is so friendly and bubbly, in MY town anyway ha. Liverpool is a different story. I agree with Quin, it just feels more homely.
