Let's complete your education of the English language before you start on another:
Colour. It has a 'u' in it. We invented this word so we are right.
Aluminium. 5 syllables. Count 'em
Trunk = a big box, nothing to do with cars
Gas is exaclty that. A gas. Petrol goes in your car.
I am happy to provide further tuition at the rate of £50 per hour.
Association my @rse...we gave it to you!

You're right about colonize but the majority of Americans are Germans ethnically, strange but true. Then come the Irish and then the English.Originally posted by QuackingPlums
Wouldn't that have involved the majority of America being colonized by Latvians?

Land of tha fat?

Is centre pronounced cen-treh? No, I didn't think so. It is pronounced center. Same for meter, etc. The US Army figured out that they could save thousands of liters of ink and major forest tracks if they took out all those dead letters that are in e.g. colour, programme, etc. All a heritage of French. Gas is short for gasoline, a product that easily turns into a gaseous state and does so when used in an internal combustion engine.
I have clients that spend thousands of kronor helping me to flush out the archaic and uninternational aspects of British English. I explain to them that they can use the peculiarities of that which they learned in a Cambridge course and be correct technically, but if they don't move somewhat mid-Atlantic they will fail in communicating with about 270 million people who have "*******ized" the language.
Then we have the English measurement system which we inherited from you tea-drinking umbrella toters. At least you people are smart enough to start getting shed of it.
