While not american, and mostly in agreement with you... it would help your case if you got your own spellings correct before correcting that of others. I thought it was some kinda forum law that any grammar nit-picking post must contain at least one grammatical or spelling error. _____________________

Well, I am a Brit, and perhaps that's the point. I'm NOT English. *scratches head* erm...who said anything about english? I was just pointing out that 'Whilst' is the more commonly used word in British English. PS t'was meant to be light-hearted  |

PS t'was meant to be light-hearted <PEDANT> Whilst you are indeed correct, you are refering to the English language, which, though almost (but not quite) universally spoken here, is not the only British language... nor even is it, if truth be told, a British language at all. Ydych chi'n siarad Cymraeg? </PEDANT> _____________________

I know. But well ... <PEDANT> Whilst you are indeed correct, you are refering to the English language, which, though almost (but not quite) universally spoken here, is not the only British language... nor even is it, if truth be told, a British language at all. Ydych chi'n siarad Cymraeg? </PEDANT> And I suppose your argument here is based on chronology? If truth be told, English is a British (though not exclusively) language, and it's also the most commonly used. I should have just called you poo-head and be done with it  |

Since when is the internet "america" , you are ignorant and prejudice, you should "get out" . Also you might want to check your grammar, most immigrants with no english skills can spell better then you. we created the innernet (as well as anything good worth having) hear in Amerika so you get out, this land is MY land! and i never did spell or talk good, but I know that I am proud to be an American (wear at leest I know i'm free) you are prolly just a terrorist sympathizer! _____________________
I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.

I am offended by the number of times today I've seen the word "then" when used it should have been "than". Not just the quoted post, either  |

Also you might want to check your grammar, most immigrants with no english skills can spell better then you. I live in NYC. we're 80% immigrant. Your generalization on the status of their grammar is unfortunately ill-thought out. Cab drivers are illegible. _____________________
