    crazy WTF again

    Every time I hear an American say the word vehicle my whole body contracts.

    I mean surely it's easier to just pronounce the British way ie vear cal ?

    I just can't can't my head around let alone my tongue vee hee cal.

    Well that's got that off my chest.

    Soddering.

    Edit: Great Minds Think Alike

    I say we should have a campaign to re-claim the word English to only apply to actual English and to have Americanish classed as a dialect of English.

    Well that's because you are not used to people being polite and nice to each other for no reason whatsoever.

    This isn't a dig it's something i've observed while living in the USA for so many years. I live in the south so EVERYONE is like that and it rubs off on you. Whenever I visit the UK i think everyone is just a rude fucker.

    I had a cousin that visited and she thought everyone was taking the piss all the time - she didn't get that they were being genuine.

    The south of England, with London especially, seems to have a problem where strangers being nice to each other is taken as a sign of weirdness.

    If someone talks to me on the tube, I automatically think they are a weirdo.

    I know this isnt pronunciation but a 'bum bag' becoming a 'Fanny Pack' is just too much !!

    Another one for 'erbs' though.... It got a 'H' , USE IT
