Just remember, you can talk bad about Americans, as long as you make sense. Bitching about how American English is different than British English is what got you in trouble. Of COURSE they're different. DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, sweetheart. Did you notice how no one jumped down your throat for the "lazy and fat Americans" comments?
Or the "my darker-hued compatriots" butchering the language comment. I almost went for a smackdown on that one, but I was busy with other matters.

How many posts do you have to make to stop being a 'Noob'?
Pescado, I didn't know you had visited our sunny shores. I hope your 'experience' wasn't too bad. Our local thugs are pretty hardcore and you don't always escape with your life.
There's only a violent regime change, every OTHER month.
Sounds like there is a lot more wildlife roaming the streets, elsewhere, than there is in our game parks!!
'Stop posting'. Now, that would not be fun.
Has anyone seen an 'offering' from Canadian TV called 'This is Wonderland'? It is about a new lawyer who gets thrown into the thick of the Canadian lower courts system. It is so off-the-wall and portrays the court system in such a 'wacky' way compared to what I am accustomed to seeing in shows like 'Boston Legal', that it is difficult to believe that what goes on in those courts and cells is really true. You would have to have seen it to know what I'm talking about.
That shit has got to stop. Now.
Excuse me??????? wtf are you implying?.
Jelenedra:
Stop over-using the sarcastic quotes. If you're going to be proper about tv show titles, they're UNDERLINED.
Audrey:
FYI, Jelendra, they were not sarcastic comments in any way, shape or form. Everyone on here seems hellbent on bashing the hell out of me. Maybe I deserved it, but I really don't get this poster above's aggression. I have always used single quote marks for names of TV shows, so bite me.
Oh, you know what, this is really becoming not fun. I was trying to make conversation about a TV show which I really enjoyed and I get this shit. You can all really go to hell.
Jelenedra:
What Jordi said. Don't use them for everything. You were asked earlier in the thread to knock it out, Zazazu Reggikko was just pointing out HOW MANY FREAKING TIMES you used them in one post.
Liz:
The 'frequency' with which Audrey sets off 'special' words with 'apostrophes' or 'single quotes' is an especially tedious affectation, given her 'claims' to be a linguistic/grammatical 'purist'.
