I think I might as well speak Spanish, as comprehendable as that statement was ... not! lol Yes, that's correct. Well, it was just meant to make the point that this is my language to wreck, not yours 'cause you're an American and, thus, a "Usurper". :) This debate does go in circles, doesn't it? it does, doesn't it. Nevertheless, argue as much as you like, the facts remain the facts, that American, so-called "International English" is a total contradiction in terms. "International" and "English", I mean. If you insist on usurping a language, why couldn't you make it some obscure language such as Klingon, Volcan or something which, when all said and done, really were American inventions? Then, of course, nobody could ever have any problems no matter how many butcherings were done to the native spellings or grammatical interpretations or colloquialisms. Then, you as a nation could really hold up your collective heads and claim to have your own native language as we do, the French do, the Germans do and so many other nations do. They didn't just jump on the backs of other nationalities. ;-) Gordon ======================================== The Just-chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/just-chat> You can find an archive of all messages posted to the %(list name)s group at either of the following: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/just-chat/index.html> or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> You may subscribe with your RSS reader at the following URL: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml> ---------------------------------------
