Nah.... and if you keep calling me that, it's gonna go to my head... which needs to be clear if I'm going to hunt Gremlins ;)

Lol! Ok I will hold back on the lady stuff! Don't want you making a mistake on the hunt. It could be nasty!

I'll just say it in my head. I've got into the habit of saying it now! ;)

One thing about words that amuses me is the difference between us and the US.

We say 'tap', you say 'fawcett'. Where does that come from? I have visions of all Americans straining to turn the water on!

We say 'rubbish' , you say 'trash' or 'garbage'.

We say 'pavement', you say 'sidewalk' which makes so much more sense!

I just wonder where these differences originate?

I guess a trip to Wikipedia (that fountain of all knowledge! ;)) is needed.

Answer me this one, oh Egg of the Wise:

Why do you say Colour and we say color? or Labour and labor? Or what about Pants vs. Shorts vs. knickers vs. whatever other synonyms you can think of?

I always wondered how the change between the Queen's English and American English came about....

I'm wondering if its a civil war, or independence thing? I don't know much about it but didn't you defeat the brit influenced forces and get independence? I could be totally wrongg, history is not my strong point! ;)

If thats the case, maybe it was to separate yourselves from us?

I've only seen season one so far :(

Oh my god, you have to watch it ALL... except the movie they did at the end. I was so disappointed I almost cried. It was AWFUL. But the series is FANTASTIC... Epic... When kids get into fights about "Team Edward/Jacob" I always tell them I'm Team Edward.... Elric :D
