betamanlet Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 *says it out loud with an American accent, y'all* Which bit I wrote was too UK-ish? In American, where we speak murikan, a tyre is a tire. We don't put groceries in the boot of our car, we put in in the trunk. When I check the oil, I don't pop the bonnet open. I open the hood. And you dare use metric. In American, where we speak american, we use the english system, and don't use none of them weakling kilograms and liters. Liters are for wusses, pints are for men. And if you dare say "gaol" instead of "jail", I will personally see that you get banned from here and that the CIA and NSA block you from internet access!
sumdude Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Dammit, this is America, speak American! Actually this the internet...
betamanlet Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Actually this the internet... Which was invented by Al Gore, hence it's American, and in America, we speak American. Love it or leave it.
fral945 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I thought of a few more: 1) Online profiles of people who (after a quick look and read) have a completely distorted and overly inflated view of themselves 2) Women that overly emphasize their independence and how they don't "need a man" but want a man (big red flag to me) - I interpret that to mean I'd be getting a bitchy, demanding woman that wouldn't think twice about leaving me if I left the toilet seat up
homersheineken Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Which was invented by Al Gore, hence it's American, and in America, we speak American. Love it or leave it. Not quite ... The US invented the internet - which in of itself is pretty useless to you. The web (like email, websites, forums) was invented by Tim Berners-Lee, who was British. Actually he was Sir Tim Berners-Lee to be precise.

Americans invented the internets and in America we speak American, not British. You can go to Brittland and speak Brittish there if you want. Love it or leave it baby.

Well thankyou for that... very entertaining explanation! I'll be sure to pass it on to all my friends in gaol. After I've eaten some chips. And then put the packet in the dustbin, in my flat. Hehe... And back on topic!

Sorry you live such a sheltered "interwebs" life that you don't...

MN randomguy Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 The hardest thing I run into is setting up a date 3 days out and then, in the meantime she's met a guy(bloke:lmao:) that she has decided to be exclusive with. Hey, EmmaLou, What was with the original reference to tyres squealing? A. I didn't think Mini Coopers were capable of that. B. I thought you all took the "tube" over there.
