[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few other things from living there that also suck OP Train Strikes NHS doctors, actually the whole NHS system The fact that they use sort codes instead of Venmo Their version of Pizza and Mexican Salsa is disgusting [b]The way they say Nike, Amazon, and Pasta is fu**ing grating [/b] Find the Irish in the city, they are so fun and love Americans![/quote] +1,000 Their entire speech affect is so pretentious and whiny. [/quote] These two PPs are racist. You do not criticize another country's speech patterns. American accents are known in other parts of the English speaking world as inelegant. Are you offended when this is pointed out to you? Then stop criticizing other people's speech. [/quote] Wtf it isn’t racist to call out Brit’s for pronouncing a word incorrectly. It’s just plain ignorant to refer to a company name incorrectly. Both Nike and Amazon have investor relations calls. And they call their companies NIK-EY and AMAZ-ON. Not “Nyke” and “Ama-zin” ! Nike was coined from the Greek Mythology of Nike (which you Do know how to say correctly right?!) And Amazon was coined from the friggen rain forest in South America, the Amazon (and again you know how to say this one right?!) And pasta is from Italy where they call it pah-sta. And filet is from France where they call it Fil-ay. Not Fill-it. The Brit’s may seem elegant but they are actually uptight dumbasses. [/quote] are you KIDDING me? Talk about a glass house. AYEraq/ LaCROY/ parMEEJAN/ NOTER DAIM/ BAYTON ROOJ/ crussaunt - i could go on. but sure, go off. [/quote] Happily! These Brit words are cringe ACCLIMATISE - the word is Acclimate as in Did he acclimate to his surroundings? INNOVATIVE - the word is innovate or innovation OR Inventive. As in Apple was really INVENTIVE with the iPod! They were NOT INNOVATIVE (wtaf?!) ORIENTATE - the word is oriented or orientation And you do realiZe that when other EU countries revert to English in their presentations they use the American spellings of things. They organiZe their presentations with words spelled the American way :) Z Z Z Z [/quote]
