I can't do with it in books though, and rarely read them these days due to all the inappropriate 'z's littering the pages. Newspapers don't do it, so why do the people who print books? Maybe the papers haven't been Americanized.

Victor, whilst Bongser tends to use ess rather that zed form where there are two viable variants in standard UK English, he feels it fair to point out that in Oxford English the norm is, in fact, the zed form. So the use thereof is not necessarily "Americanization". Thought that you should, ahem, realize.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Think the Oxford dictionary is owned by the Yanks, like Britannica...though I do confess that many 'Americanisms' are actually old English. Mostly things we no longer use, or as they are now known, 'Americanisms'.

Can we also add posters referring to themselves in the 3rd person as a major hate?

Did you know you can never run through a campsite? You can only “ran" through, because it is past tents.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!
If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/
Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!
Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg |

The whole of Widnes decamped to their own forum a few years back. They don't like it up em, apparently.
