I then Would still live, as i speak Scottish-English. Commonly known local as "Doric". If i could be bothered typing it properly and used more Doric dialect it would need translating. XD

And not correcting me like anyone else id discrimination of the mentally handicapped.

EDIT:
Wait a minute, i should learn to read ANY-English first...

You mean there are other ways to eat food that doesn't involve deep fry cheese or hot sauce.

Sounds rather lame and boring, or sounds like a vegan diet.

It's not food if it's not deep fried, smothered in cheese and hot sauce and kicks around in your stomach for hours before coming back up.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

I prefer to call such bubble munchers - WINDOW LICKERS.

This is owing to the common sight of 'Special' School Buses hurtling around during the rush hour, when you can guarantee at least one spazz* (often more) will be licking the window.

I used to work with a guy from London or someplace in Pommieland. Anyway, he would say things like skyver sp? (for fiver). So you Poms muck up your own language pretty well. He had a whole bunch of these rhyme replacement words.

So unless you speak RP Mad Dok. Which IIRC only 3% of England does you should also be ashamed.

Right now I'm reading Mad Dok's posts as if spoken by Dizzie Rascal. Blud.

Also Apart from the aforementioned Dizzee isn't the Urban fad dead? Seems to be where I am anyway.

I never understood how British English speakers could randomly add invisible Rs to things. Or completely disregard a hard consonent in the middle of a word. Say Schedule for me.

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do
