Soda preference

[Omnislash07]

I DO THE DEW, if I could have my blood changed out for Mountain Dew I would do it. I love that stuff.

Oh, and the Americans speak a version of English closer to the original than we do in England. They've changed it less in the last two hundred years than we have. Not much less, but less.

yeah thats right America - 3 v.s. England - 0

we are just that good that we can take your own language and do it better than anyone else... wow, what will we beat you at next.

p.s. if you are from England or whatever dont get pissed off it is a joke.

Millisle, yes. why?

Oh, just random questioning. Anyway, my grandma says they're called fizzy drinks over there.

this question defines the very process of Americanisation if "soda or pop" wins it means were all doomed to be an American satellite. Stop changing our language, i was thinking o setting up a thread of english v. american terms, but i was too lazy- i blame the americans.

its our language dammit!

So if you're from Nothern Ireland, you've probably got an accent, right? And you use regional words like "wee" and "ach, yer oul' arse-hole". Well if you do, you need to stop, because it's not YOUR language, it's OUR language, which means the QUEEN'S ENGLISH. So unless you speak in perfect receieved pronunciation, you're in no position to talk.

Furthermore, language changes. If you can't deal with a fact as simple as that, you're going to have a very hard time in life when important things change.

no hang on, what i meant is that, we dont import our "wee" and "ach"(isnt that scottish?) over to England and demand its usage. It annoys me the way American words are imported and take over the words we used to use, because they know better.

Nobody DEMANDS the use of any particular variant of the language overall. As long as one's language is suitable for one's situation (Clearly a dissertation will require a different tone to going to the pub with your friends), and follows a few basic rules of language (Also variable depending on context) you're fine.

But it's simply the nature of language to change. It evolves and shifts. There are many, many Americanisms we use every single day - every single time we speak - and don't even know it, because we're not delving into the etymology of every word we use.
