Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread
Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread
If your going to stoop low and get into that argument ....
1. America only got involved when pearl harbour was bombed by the Japaneese before that they refused to help. Before that the Canadians, Austrialians and Indians were fighting alongside us. (And lets not talk about the french.....)
2. All the countries that speak english do so due to our, granted not pc, imperialism when we colonised them. Don't forget we colonised America, pilgrim forefathers etc. thats why you speak english...
3. And wasn't it American capitalism and all the banks that have caused the world wide recession?
You may sit on your high horse feba, but in reality, you came from us, your countrymen just wrote more bizarre laws than ours did and polluted the queens/kings language. (and we do still have some bizarre old laws!!)

Played some pretty epic Laser Tag at this place about an hour away. 1st game I was 4th, 2nd game I was 2nd, and 3rd game I was 1st.

Jarre, I understand what you're saying, but I feel I need to point out something else.
Y'all have some of the oddest slang words I have ever had the privilege of hearing/reading.
True this is not proper english, which is the original topic, but I feel it has some merit for conversation.

1. I said we saved your ass. I didn't say we wanted to.
2. The countries that speak English as their day-to-day language, sure. But the English language would be lost to places like India and Hong Kong if not for America's power reinforcing it. And I'm more talking about the fact that people in every place on Earth speak English, with the exception of some isolated tribal groups. If you go on holiday, you will run into someone else who speaks at least some degree of English.
3. Thanks for proving my point. Our fuckups have global repercussions. Nobody even really cares about your fuckups, beyond comedic value.
And actually no, I think the number of my countrymen from Britannia is only around half. My ancestry is a mix of Scandinavian and Spanish (via the Caribbean). Either way, just goes to show how your countrymen flocked here because we're just that much better.

maaaaaaaan financial aid. I mean, technically scholarships; ineligible for FinAid, which also fucks me out of some scholarships I could use, but oh well.
Yes, it's helping, yes, I'm getting some scholarshoops, but goddamn I wish they'd be faster.
also higher
also who wants to contribute to the "let's get Feba really fucking far away" fund.

From what I understand our English is more like your English used to be, but sometime after the revolution England attempt to French it up a bit.

I know the conversation's moved on, but I wanna say it anyway:
Shut the fuck up.
