I think my reply just got buried there, JD... it's at the bottom of the previous page...

What I find interesting is that Britons pronounce "shire" when it stands alone with a long "i" and prounce it like "sher" when it's part of a name - like Leicestershire. At least that how the people in Leicester pronounced it. This is the way they pronounced it - "lestersher"

I was just kidding, I know American English isn't actually a series of random misspelt words. Thanks for clearing that up about who "they" was referring to Sun-star. That's even funnier now! I really can't picture JD as a fanfic author, but I've been wrong before. EDIT: Ironically, I can't spell "misspelt".

Zoolander freakin' rocks. And it's so hard to be ridiculously good good looking.

One thing that could have been added was that Americans should start playing a sensible, intelligent game like Cricket! Then again... perhaps we should let them play meaningless "sports" like American football and baseball.
BTW, there is a world outside London in Britain, and not just aristocrats as a lot of Americans believe. And why do American TV producers insist on having a British actor on their shows to be 1) a Londoner 2) with either a "posh" accent or cockney 3) stuck up??

Although I think that most british sit-coms should burn in the afterlife of your choice, I do like Red Dwarf a lot.
BoP, in your avatar, is the rabbit strangling the cat or kissing it?

Lol. People play American football in Sweden, though real football (soccer) is much more popular. Sweden has very good football teams too.
I think sports are universal.

Americans. At least Aussies can understand each other when we speak and we're a fairly large country too. We just sound like bogans is all.

Even during the Continental Convention - there are comments about people not understanding what one another was saying and that it was like listening to a foreign language.
