Conservapedia...

Wow, this is the most funny site I have come across in a long time. You must check this out, it states that Japan is a group of islands off the Western coast of Asia and many other "facts."

This is one of my favourites


Wikipedia often uses foreign spelling of words, even though most English-speaking users are American. Look up "Most Favored Nation" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts the spelling to the British spelling "Most Favoured Nation." Look up "Division of labor" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts to the British spelling "Division of labour," then insists on the British spelling for "specialization" also.[7] Enter "Hapsburg" (the European ruling family) and Wikipedia automatically changes the spelling to Habsburg, even though the American spelling has always been "Hapsburg". Within entries British spellings appear in the silliest of places, even when the topic is American. Conservapedia favors American spellings of words.

So, because Wikipedia uses the spelling of the word from the PEOPLE WHO INVENTED THEM they are wrong.

Oh yeah, this was made by home schooled people trying to fight the liberal bias on wikipedia.

This place is awesome. The best comedy in a looong time.

see i dont get that myself, a lot of the differences between english english (cough-real english-cough!:p :lol: ) and ameri-english is usually the american spelling is a letter shorter, thats about it. its just wierd isnt it?, that like a few hundred years apart and thats the biggest changes in speeling, even if we do use different words for different things, to quote south park:

"Leave it to American to think that "no" means yes, "pissed" means angry, and "curse word" means something other than a word that's cursed!!"


well...'cept the cursed part, least thats what the goverment make sus tell you to keep everyone safe.


just dont say the word meecrob too much guys, for the love of god!:lol:

See, it's those sort of Americans that give you lot a bad name, geez.

The f*ckin' ENGLISH invented ENGLISH, the language the Americans and supposed to be speaking. It's not called "American" it's called "English" ... *gol*

Hey hellsing, the words are probably one letter shorter so there's less energy to expel when writing. :lol:

And it's COLOUR!!!!!

[_liam_]

the reason for seemingly useless "u"s and stuff in words like colour is because our language is a sort of mishmash of many different words from all sorts of languages, if you simplify the spelling it can make the path that leads back to the root words it was derived from a bit harder to trace.

that said, i don't see anything wrong with "defence" being "defense". a bit of streamlining is ok as long as you replace the letter with one that has the same value, but removing "u"s and stuff just to save the 18th of a second it takes to add it when youre writing is a bit lazy.

When I was a kid I was fascinated with, for lack of a better term, the KIngs English spellings.
colour, flavour, labour.
I have british raised relatives who showed me that when I was little, so I started spelling all applicable words that way
And actually got them WRONG on schoolwork!
Grey too, and thats a "valid" variation for Americans.
stooooooopid! A lot of Teachers dont know jack sh*t.

It's not THAT different!

Not as frequently as in the past, but people still say things like,
"speak American, you foreigner!"


:rolleyes:

And a utter waste of time. Its a tough job proving superiority and dominion, but someones gotta do it!:rolleyes:

American English is actually closer to Middle English than English English- i.e. it is more like how the Puritans would have spoken (apparently).

I agree that English comes from the British . As far as fast food intelligence , I dislike "My Bad" rather than I m sorry . Its a lazy insincere way of admitting being wrong or owning up to making an error .:mad:

Its like Jail talk. Ask instead of favor. Anything to avoid the appearence of being submissive.
I will never use "my bad" ever. I think it sounds kinds dopey.

York was founded by Vikings.

Of course, with many Americans being of Irish/English or Scottish descent, you're basically Brits as well, so ... back in your face!! :lol:

Of course, the thing is - are you northern Irish or southern Irish?

Then of course the Scottish are descendants of the Irish (so I've heard anyway), so I've got a bit of the 4 leafed clover in me then ... very deep down anyway, I'm Scottish ... or more accurately now an Anglosized Scot ... Scottish heart, English brain...:eek:...so I guess I'm flat out British. :D

And tea sucks cock, it's RANK. :D

I used to drink tea all the time as a kid, but I was accused of being an "english fag" alot as a kid for that, so I broke the habit. Ah, that devilish peer pressure. "I'm not English" "ahhh,Same Thing" "No it's NOT!!!"

I am damn proud of it too ... so there .:elol: Why did the British wear those red coats , they were easy targets in the greenery of this country ? Just an observation . ( no offense ) , " Ahem , maybe we should wear something more concealing to blend in with the country side ?":rockbrow:

Like many great Empires before they lose a war, they believe Guerrilla war is uncivilized and, therefore, ineffective.

Long historical rant on red coats follows, be warned:

The Brits wore their red coats because they didn't think blending in was that important. After all, the had fought guerilla wars before and won many times, and they would in the future as well. Until the rifle was invented, muskets fired enmasse in linewarfare was simply the dominating form of warfare. And musket lines looked mighty nice when worn in uniform.

And let's not forget that even though militia was a large part of the American Revolution, there was also a hefty dose of line infantry. And the brits had their own militia and guerilla fighters: Colonists and indians who were sympathetic to the brits.

So while Militia soldiers is definetly the "icon" of the revolutionairy war, one shouldn't attribute him to being the sole reason for the victory. Infact, the americans nearly lost didn't they? It simply wasn't that effective to abandon line infantry just yet. Thus, they would often fight in open fields. And an organized army wearing similar uniforms could scare the **** out of any enemy.

Also let's not forget that the Revolutionairy war was (in terms of military strength) a rather small war. I mean, armies would be composed of around 1000 - 5,000 men. Compare to the Napoleonic war in Europe just a decade or two later, and you have armies of around 50,000 - 150,000 men. I think that Militia warfare would be more or less impossible during those terms.

What you dont understand is, that while that may be the truth, that is not what I want to believe and truth only exists to reinforce feelings, not reality.:)
