Americans have such a way with..English?

Post by Collector Inspector »

Well, down_under, 'Glish gets a bit of a Hammer so why not put this in the ring eh?

I am really tempted to ask this seller if he/she "Can actually speak English as well as He/She types" but EbayMasterShit will probably protect their own....................and give me a Wedgy, or is it Wedgie, or, is it just pull your mates' jocks UP!

Sigh!

Poor little Gull by the way.

We are indeed two nations separated by a common language. Please, do be good enough not to judge all Yanks by the "writings" of some backwoods type redneck and be happy you're still speaking English, after that nastiness of the 1930's-1940's.

It's bad enough over here knowing that people of the subject level of "ejikayshinn" are entitled to drive, vote, and BREED.

Oh, perish the thought that random persons on an open bulletin board should have an opinion. If WF should read this, he needs to read a lot more posts all over this board to see that we jest and bait each other all the time here, and that it's never personal. Well, almost.... We're just a bunch of guys having some fun with their common interests.

I can't belive any of the hoi polloi would think that I was a SNOB, it must be an acronym for what he realy meant.

If there is any amongst us who could provide me with a credible translation, I would be most greatful, perhaps up to a small beer or whatever you riffraff imbibe nowadays.
