I think it's perfect, just like it is.

Agreed

Hey.. where are all the liberalese critters hiding then?

In this country, they speak English too, buckwheat.

You don't speak English, you don't use 'u's, you make cwarfee, and you don't know what a pavement is! You speak American. :stickpoke

This is a butchered attempt in Paint. I don't have photoshop on this computer (moan, hiss, growl...)

huh?
You mean the material that covers roads, driveways, and parking lots?

"huh" is not a word in the Oxford English Dictionary and therefore doesn't count. Neither does 'cum'.

No, I mean the thing you walk on to avoid disrupting traffic. You call them 'sidewalks'. Do they walk? No! Do not personify inanimate objects by attaching subverbs!

ooh what an enjoyable afternoon of patriotism and provocation

So it's true ? You people really don't get off??? ;)

"Just lie back and think of England . . . . "

I don't know which Americans you've been talking to, but where I'm from (St. Louis), we call it CAW-fee. Here in Philadelphia, the first syllable is more stressed than "normal."

BLB, what? Liberals can't believe that people that come to the States should speak English?

syc - you're not making it any better on the cawfee ;)

Brianna, we come, it's longer :P

So how do the British pronounce it? Not you, b/c your English is probably as bastardized as ours. :)

i'll show you cum bri - c'mon, play with me! :king:

CO - FEE. Not corfee, cawfee, caaafee, carfi.

And Brianna, I wouldn't say that.

How is the first syllable pronounced? Long O? Short O?

co as in 'cough', hard co. then fee is in parking infringement.

nice try jag, but he'll be sitting there with his brain all twizzled because he can't work out how 'coffee' could possibly contain a 'g'

CO-FEE? You mean like Kofi Annan? you guys are total freaks. KAW-FEE.

No! Like Cops! or Cotton. I appreciate it is a hard thing to grasp.

I like tea. You just say "Tea", like "T". QED. :)

We pronounce "cough" as KAWF. And if that's how the British pronounce it, then that would make our pronunciations of "coffee" the same.

Based on what Catwoman says, the British pronounce "coffee" as someone in New England might. Okay...Perth, OC, Limey, UT and Katkeeper...help us out here. How do you remember "coffee" being pronounced, if you remember hearing it?

u take a K first , than an O(short), an F and than ee but pronounce ea (like in "T" :lol: ) here's my flag...

Here's Capnhowdy's version...................

"Then go your ass back home, please?" Obviously we don't all speak English in America... :lol:

People in England don't all speak english, how can you expect an ex-colony to do any better?

Don't all parents hope their offspring will do better than them? Some even demand it. :biggrin:

down in my neck of the woods we drink cawfee with bailey's, doesn't that help?:)
