defence is not a word.

D E F E N S E

This is how it's spelled.

Carry on...

And Mr Saffold spells his first name thusly:

R O D G E R.

Thanks for your attention.

It was never Grant Winstrom

It was always Grant Wistrom

God Save the Queen.

 

[Memento]

defence is not a word.

D E F E N S E

This is how it's spelled.

Carry on...

Actually, the word "defence" is the right way to spell it, if you happen to speak the Queen's English. We Americans spell it as "defense." But yes, you're correct on the others.

 

[Tron]

This one has always bugged me, probably just cause he is the Rams coach.

It's Fisher, not Fischer!!!

Every other forum I visit they spell it with a c in it. Annoying as fuck and takes away all credibility when they can't even spell it right as they try to bash him.

You're gonna regret starting this thread. Americans have been bastardising the English language for decades. (Note that's bastardising with an 's', not a 'z')

Any version of a word with 'ise' that you change to 'ize' for no apparent reason.

While we're at it, the phrase is 'I couldn't care less'...
'I could care less' makes no fucking sense whatsoever!

Ok, rant over.

Forgive my provinciality, but the U.S. utilizes the American/English language. Thee and Thou are no longer spoken but in King James Version churches, Shakesperian plays, and various Passion Plays across the country.

This is AMERICAN FOOTBALL, not Latino "Futbol".

When the NFL opens a franchise in London I will relent.

Of course I kid because I care. Since the language was formed in GB, (Great Britain, not Green Bay), I defer to your acumen.

 

[HX76]

You wankers have fucked up our language, can't even spell mum correctly. I mean color, what the fuck is that. Sort it out septics!!

[RamFan503]

You wankers have freaked up our language,

Nah. Merely developed it and improved it like everything else. :fighting:

 

[Dieter the Brock]

It's a cookie not a biscuit
It's a trunk not a boot
It's a hood not a bonnet

Get it straight

 

[RamFan503]

It's a cookie not a biscuit

Right. Leave it to the Brits to make even a chocolate chip cookie sound bland and pasty. Chocolate chip BISCUIT? :eek:

It's a trunk not a boot

Really fucks up the saying "junk in the trunk".

It's a hood not a bonnet

So do the Brits actually ask, "What you got under your bonnet?" Sounds like something a child molester would ask.

Many of the French-derived words take on a British spelling in Canada. Favour, colour... Are auto-corrected to these spellings on my devices.

I can't really update my auto correct because in my day to day communications I spell them as "colour" because it's proper where I live.

I could care less about your post........

 

[Prime Time]

I could care less about your post........

Shouldn't it be "I could not care less about your post?"

 

[Tron]
