    Traditional English grammar loses out to the BLM thugs ...

    so you'd better start practicing the new verb endings;

    I is
    you is
    she is
    we is
    you is
    they is

    Being able to understand Uncle Remus might help.

    You guys mispronounce the letter "Z" and can't say "aluminum" correctly so that makes you about even.

            do you go to the grocery store, or do you go make groceries?

            togor is correct,


            English, the Z (we pronounce ZEE) is Zed,

            and it's Al- you- min- e- um, or similar depending on the regional accent

              I did not know that.

              Since the subject was about BLM English I though you were referring to black/white speech and not the fact that DT (who is from the UK) started the thread.

              The English say many things differently than us but since they have been around centuries longer who is correct?

                The English language originated in England. (News to you ?)
                American is a dialect.
                You never cease to amaze me with your lack of simple facts.

                  There isnt a dialect for your form of ignorance?

                        I read an article once, on the subject of "what did English sound like at the time of the American Revolution?"

                        The consensus of linguists was that they spoke in London at the time of the revolution would sound more like American English than British English today. Apparently this is a recurring thing, that when a language branches out, then gets cut off by circumstances (geography etc.), it slows down in terms of how it changes. In much the same way, Quebecois sounds like archaic French, and Icelandic is a dialect of Old Norse, that is related to but nonetheless distinct from Norwegian, Danish, etc.

                          Think how incorrect the Germans and French would be. They pronounce things way differently than us.

                            my light Southern Accent sounds like Northern English,,

                            according to a clerk in a store in Canterbury,


                            I've been reading a diary from a soldier in the Rev War, supposedly a direct copy of his daily writings, coupled with what he wrote years after the war,
                            the grammar and style can be hard to read in spots

                              English is a conglomeration of many languages, British, Roman,
                              French, Danish, German (Saxon), Celtic, Gaelic, Anglo, and maybe
                              a bit of Druid, Neanderthal and Cro-magnon. But no bloody Arabic
                              except for the alphabet.
