its an american forum based in america, owned by americans & tha great majority of folks posting are american as mr peon admitted. whats there not ta like about that? [:)]
Well, to name just one thing - that you've just nicely demonstrated, Wants - having non-Americans around does serve to remind Americans of what English is meant to look like.
nah yr presence is redundant coz least as many americans objected to my classic style as brits. [8D]
bunch of pedantic grammar nazis. fact is ya lost tha cultural war so americans speak american not british. [:)]
I do NOT speak english or american, I speak southern, and Texan.
To continue, my state of birth was not a part of the British colonies, therefore nothing they did back east, with the exception of North Carolina, really has anything to do with my family. Besides if the Scots/Irish had not ventured into the mountains of western North Carolina and intermarried with Cherokee women over the generations, I would not be here.
Now as far as Brits giving blankets that had been exposed to small pox to Indians, may I point out that the Spanish had introduced small pox to the Americas in the 1500's, so by the time the Brits built the fort where the incident happened, small pox had pretty much covered the northern and southern continents.
As for demanding repatriations, I hate to tell you people this, but the UK, France, Dutch and Spanish governments cant afford to pay to collectively go to the bathroom, so what do you want in repatriation? A Rolls Royce, the company is owned by Volkswagen.
