American English

[chicoazul]

Couple of things you beauts, firstly you have bastardised a perfectly good language and try to pass it off as your own.

The thing that annoys me most is travelling anywhere in the Americas and finding that the English language is symbolised by an American flag. Just [Poor language removed] off. What about Canada? What about Belize? They speak English you tits. Never mind the ****ing English who invented the language ffs.

My last point is about how you pronounce the word aluminium. You absolute tools. Sort that sh*t out.

Anyway, wanted to give you a few home truths before I linked this.

22. Train station. My teeth are on edge every time I hear it. Who started it? Have they been punished? Chris Capewell, Queens Park, London

Is this guy on glue?

Some crackers there: 'oftentimes' and 'my bad' are nails down a blackboard bad.

I'll add: 'he/she is out of <insert city/town name>'

24 and 50 are clearly the most annoying.

Huh?

Americanos are, like, completely awesome. Just 'cuz y'all like silly words like lift (clearly an elevator), lorry (is this what you used to drag behind horses), and bangers (it's a freakin's sassage), don't mean we're stupid like.

It is what it is.

We spell it aluminum. There's no second "i" in it here.

Belize? 89% of Americans think it's just a type of coffee. Those same 89% probably couldn't even tell you it is a country.

Canada. Donut eaters the lot of them. Between scarfing crullers dunked in maple syrup while riding a moose, some of them speak French.

Don't get us started on our pet peeves about the prim, proper English.

Or when someone or something is named after a place or object they are 'named for'....

Maybe on your periodic table. Los Alamos National Laboratories thinks otherwise.

The purest of all English language tongues. In fact it should be sacked off being called English.

Indeed, sir. Indeed.
