You have no place on the planet.

replies and 3rd grade repartee.

Pathetic..no wonder the US doesnt want to acknowledge they own the
UK...pimples like you have given it such a bad reputation.


You get back under your rock, or should that be shitrock ?

Looks like the pissant is suddenly realizing he is owned by the
US..and he isnt happy about it.

Tough

Deal with it, serf

Gunner

Haven't you shot yourself yet ?


Why would I? I am quite comfortable being part owner of the UK and
the 65 million serfs that we now own.

Gunner

You own naff all, except a big head.


Might I suggest a good 12 step program to help you deal with your
denial issues?

Though Im sure it came as a shock to find out you were the bitch of
the US, you must come to terms with it sooner or later.

C-4 is a Military mixture who's main component is RDX, with some other
Energetic Materials, and a Plasticizer, mixed to make it mauluable.

Cyclonite is the american name for RDX, and is used bacause it is
cheap to make, because the precursers are Petrochemical byproducts,
and it has significant Power Density when compared with other
Energetics, in the same class. RDX also has a well defined Entropy
Knee, which makes it very stable, mechanicaly, and chemicaly. This
makes it a very safe Energetic, which requires less training to use,
than other Energetics in its Power Density class. NO Cap and Booster,
No Boom.....


Fucking hell, i didn't realise so many Americans studied explosives, is
it part of the school curriculum ?

No, we're just far smarter and much more versatile and well-rounded than
you. Our desire for learning doesn't stop at bad urban english, and
you've done "naff all" to prove otherwise.

We gave you English and you wanted to be different as you had no identity of

No identity? We are/were "Americans". You are/were "the fucking

Oh come on, half of Americans came from England, we colonised that land :

You really are an idiot. Besides forgetting about the French, the

Yes before the roman invasion.

The Romans ruled the roost and made forts and gave forth their
language.

That doesn't make Latin English

The Catholic religion the country was beneath was in Latin.
Schooling
in those days were in mostly Latin. When they were finally run out
and
left, what was left. Scottish and Latin and some local words for
jargon.

The Indo-European language tree for Modern English is thus:

Germanic --> Western Germanic --> Low German --> Anglo-Saxon (Old
English)
Thence: from Anglo-Saxon --> Middle English (what most think of old
English)
then to Modern English.

The Dutch were Old Saxon replacing Anglo-Saxon --> Middle Low
German - Plattdeutsch.

Remember in the days of old Kings and Queens were family members all
across
Europe and even Russia.

Anglo-Saxon was a mixture of Low German, Latin, and the common and
in-common
language of the Anglos and those from Saxony - And the French
language came from Latin. So Saxony was mixed with Latin as well as
the local common and religion
based words.

Old English began a long time ago. A very long time ago in human time.


Yes before the roman invasion.

The Romans ruled the roost and made forts and gave forth their
language.


That doesn't make Latin English
http://www.romans-in-britain.org.uk/arl_latin_language.htm

The Catholic religion the country was beneath was in Latin. Schooling
in those days were in mostly Latin. When they were finally run out
and
left, what was left. Scottish and Latin and some local words for
jargon.

The Indo-European language tree for Modern English is thus:

Germanic --> Western Germanic --> Low German --> Anglo-Saxon (Old
English)
Thence: from Anglo-Saxon --> Middle English (what most think of old
English)
then to Modern English.

The Dutch were Old Saxon replacing Anglo-Saxon --> Middle Low German -
Plattdeutsch.

Remember in the days of old Kings and Queens were family members all
across
Europe and even Russia.

Anglo-Saxon was a mixture of Low German, Latin, and the common and
in-common
language of the Anglos and those from Saxony - And the French language
came from Latin. So Saxony was mixed with Latin as well as the local
common and religion
based words.


Yes whilst American English is an attempt to be different.


Ignorant ass. American English is a polyglot language as is British
English. Just because it evolved differently over the last 500 years
doesn't make American English an "attempt" to be different.


We gave you English and you wanted to be different as you had no identity
of your own.

We had to be different, since we started out as YOU, and that was totally
unacceptable. Look where you ended up.

Didn't you hear that song, "Tony Bliar Rules The Waves" ?

No identity? We are/were "Americans". You are/were "the fucking
bloody British"


Nah, you lot were a handful of tribesmen , we took over your land and made
you british, or we killed you.

We could sort you lot out anytime, you can't tell the difference between a
school and a nuclera weapon site or who is an enemy soldier and who isn't.

You can't do anything (right) on your own.

Yes, we no longer say "whilst", among other things. Our language is
moving ahead in response to social challenges, as has been pointed out
here by many posters. Yes, indeed, vernacular English language (American
English at least) is being continuously revised by contributions - and
outright thefts - from other languages. On the other hand, words and
phrases from English are being taken wholesale by other languages. It
happens both ways. GF - if you insist on speaking and writing as if you
are a Dickens contemporary, do whatever makes you happy. But - you are
more and more irrelevant as your speech patterns age and get stuck in the
past.

Haven't you noticed? Only Americans speak American English, everyone else
speaks proper English except when it's foerced on them by dick heads like
BG.
