[QUOTE=Contag;31852438]Actually the americans speak a 'truer' (or rather, older) form of english than what we do. Except for all the night-nite business, that's just them being lazy stereotypical Americans.

For instance, it's quite common for Americans to fail to pronounce the 'h' in quite a few words like 'herb -> 'erb', which was the usual way of saying it back in England a few hundreds years ago, from the french.
[quote]Varieties of English
From around 1600, the English colonization of North America resulted in the creation of a distinct American variety of English. Some English pronunciations and words "froze" when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English is. Some expressions that the British call "Americanisms" are in fact original British expressions that were preserved in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain (for example trash for rubbish, loan as a verb instead of lend, and fall for autumn; another example, frame-up, was re-imported into Britain through Hollywood gangster movies). Spanish also had an influence on American English (and subsequently British English), with words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English through the settlement of the American West. French words (through Louisiana) and West African words (through the slave trade) also influenced American English (and so, to an extent, British English).[/quote]

[QUOTE=Devodiere;31852481]Fuck your true English, it's all bullshit dialects. It's just the way language goes, it can never stay stagnant and it would be stupid to try and force it to.
English is at least versatile and willing to change and adapt. France and China have pretty much banned English words from being incorporated into their language while English incorporates them so well it's hard to tell what is English and what isn't.[/QUOTE]
It's true, I'd rather have the 1,000,000 words of English compared to the 25,000 of French.
[QUOTE=mr apple;31852131]Why is Melbourne so violent
Was at the station few days back waiting for the train to flinders when a bogan was standing next to a friend talking about how he wants to be punched in the face just to see how it feels again because apparently his father beat him as a kid and he enjoyed it.
Needless to say I went to the other end of the platform.[/QUOTE]

Weird because my mother is American and I have 'learnt' a similar accent from her, but I say herb, not erb.
Yeah in america we say youtube phonetically (ie: yootoob)

3 minutes in the microwave, then straight into an oven for 7-10 minutes on 180.

unless you fuck it up, which if i remember last time we were talking about pies you did, it was cold in the middle, microwaving it properly thaws the inside of the pie, eliminating the chance it would be cold in the middle and creates a nice consistency all the way through.
Just had party pies fuck your meat pies

No, uni accommodation is shocking. I'd sooner live in Sunbury than those boxes.
I don't have a microwave because if I did, I would never use anything else again.
Except the deep fryer, which I had to send off for the exact same reason.
