when you guys get rid of your king and queen then you can speak about our ret*d president

Don't blame English people for having a monarchy; we didn't vote for them.
The royal family are a bunch of ex-Nazis.
But it is not like any of us are living in a democracy.

1) I don't know about 500 BC - but there was one hot queen in the early days of the empire.

2) are you brits upset that we call Bush a moron? I mean, I don't mind a 'mum and all, if we can call ours like we see 'em.

We say "mum" you say "Mom". We've got our way of saying things, you've got your way of saying things. Ok?

How about the irish and most UK northerners? They say mam.

Mum is what you're supposed to say here, you dolt. I am a grammar nazi as well. How is it easier to say mom? Your interpretation of English, our interpretation of English. To each their own. Mom sounds different as well.

The English language has enough problems as it is. How hard is it to put apostrophes, full stops, capitals, and spell basic words properly?

Please, do us all a favour and grow up. Rectify your grammar and punctuation while you're at it.

Never again associate the head of state with Texas. He is not a native of the state, and the stereotypes are offensive....except the one about guns. Don't piss off a Texan by insulting Texas, we'll f'ing shoot you. Don't piss off a Texan on their own property, or they can legally shoot you by claiming they felt their life was in danger. (ok, it isn't quite as cut and dry as that, but it can be made pretty close.)

I don't care who you voted for, your ignorant, ethnocentric, xenophobic opinion has no right to be voiced on an international website.

If you're going to be xenophobic, go do it on Fox News polls.

And yes, I am american.
People like you are what gives our country no credibility outside our border.

No: we call him much worse.

We made the English language.
We're the ones that are actually using it correctly.
Remember:
ARSE not ass, ass is a donkey
GAOL not jail, this one is old but true
MUM not mom

i spell it mum. and i live in Canada.
I try to use the correct words for stuff, so i can talk English good
we also spell it coloUr, neighboUr, etc. It's Americans who do it wrong

To put someone on our coins. Y'know it's easy for you to slag her off over there, there's not the possibility of the death penalty for treason. It's not very likely...but it is possible.

Indeed. I have yet to find anything related to 'English' in the word 'America'.
England English...well, you can see the link there.

And the English language is by default British English, in order for it to be 'American English', you have to add 'American'.

No, we didn't add a bunch of 'u's to words, the early american settlers removed a load of them.

just want to point out this is a US based website. Websters would take precedent over Oxford.

You actually elect your ret*d president though.
Whereas I don't want a Queen any more than anyone else does. Just because I'm English, doesn't mean I'm a monarchist.

You could argue that Americans don't speak proper English, anyway.

'Mom' in an English accent sounds dumb. Mam and mum are both English ways of pronouncing it. Personally I find 'mommy' quite annoying to listen to. It sounds whiney.

Also, we don't have a king. We just have a queen. And I'd be happy for the monarchy to run the country as I think Tony Blair is a div.

And this is coming from someone that has no concept of grammar, spelling or proper punctuation...
