Let's consolidate English and American

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just stop bastardising everything and speak English. We didn’t come over there years ago to educate you for no reason. We have enough Americanisms already over here, next thing is the right to bear arms :-(

I think everyone should be entitled to Bear Arms...

It’s hilarious listening to Americans try and say Worcestershire

I know, the thick cunts

Any place name with 'shire' in it.

Had to give my 8 year old son a bollocking yesterday as another kid at school had taught him to sing "America FUCK YEAH!"

COMIN YOUR WAY TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKIN DAY YEAH!

Lots of stuff popularly believed to be American is, in fact, the original British English. It’s us who have changed. See ‘Color‘ etc.

Faucet is a word of English origin (well probably French) whereas tap is American.

It's strange that in Australia they give some things the American name. But others the English way.

Saloon car here is a sedan
Estate car is a station wagon
Motorway is a freeway
Booze is liquor.

But it's bonnet not hood and boot not trunk, and petrol not gas, and wardrobe not closet.

Some are distinctly Aussie though.
Tea break is Smoko
Petrol station is Servo
Dustbinman is Garbo
Afternoon is Arvo


Basically everything ends in O. :)
