Lol, I read that whole article and this oversight completely went over my head. Having lived on this side of the pond for the best part of 15 years now, I guess I'm getting ingrained in their bastardisation of the English language. Using chips for crisps, trunk for boot, sweater for jumper, having no concept of what a brolly is or having different meanings for fanny and suspenders. Not to mention the fact that my wife won't let me call football, football in front of my boys, I have to call it that awful term soccer because the "handoval" game is called football here and we can't have them teased at school !!
It's 'math' that gets me. JUST ADD THE f***ing S ON MAN!!!
I know, I always says maths to piss everyone off here. Also they are calling the subject English at school here, Language Arts, WTF man !!
that's because we've elevated it to an art far beyond its humble origins: a few guttural syllables that served only to praise inbred monarchy, order warm beer and do racisms at immigrants.
