Tha...LOL I got such a good laugh from this post Jo. Thank you so much for sharing this! <br /><br />And for the record, I am an American born citizen and I am in no way offended by this. On the contrary, I actually wholeheartedly agree with a lot of the points made. Most Americans really do have atrocious vocabulary and grammar, unfortunately. I don't keep up with politics, but making some changes to our government's structure sounds like a wonderful idea. Things seem to be running smoothly in the UK and they seem to be ahead of the US in many aspects, especially healthcare reform ever since they implemented a universal health care system - something that we are still very far from achieving here in the States. So to sum it all up, I'm all for the US going back under British rule!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198796158143619283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-5494760093299084102011-10-15T10:06:43.419+08:002011-10-15T10:06:43.419+08:00Hi Jo: I'm Canadian so can't really commen...Hi Jo: I'm Canadian so can't really comment on a lot of the stuff mentioned but I will say that I agree with English actors playing English (British) parts in films- I can't stand it when I see american actresses (Gwenyth Paltrow, for example) attempt a british accent. It's embarassing!

Haha you know, if this was really enacted, we would be in trouble, cuz the Philippines is influenced heavily by the Americans, from our spelling to our pronunciation and our traffic scheme! We barely have roundabouts and OMG it would be a nightmare if I drove on the "wrong side of the road"! When I was in Australia, I could not get over calling gas as petrol. It was just too awkward for me lol And when they served me my "chips", in my head I went, "where's my ketchup?" Ketchup not catsup hahahah!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Wi<br /><a href="http://chichismusings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A Single Girl's Musings</a>ChiChi81https://www.blogger.com/profile/10592376011512780434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-17894263535697638062011-10-14T22:13:16.818+08:002011-10-14T22:13:16.818+08:00I find this to be very entertaining and funny. Fro...I find this to be very entertaining and funny. From where I live, people are not pleased with the way things are happening in this country in the prospect of politics or economy. I have no idea where this country is heading because it obviously has lost its superstar power/performance. As a foreign born resident, I feel that most people take their rights and freedom for granted in many ways in this country. Some abuse the system which creates such financial messes. Political and economical complaints can be heard in every corner around the world, the governments can never please every one of their citizens.<br /><br />To respond to your comment Jo, I totally agree with what your friend said. The point I was trying to make was that there are people who make a big deal out of "everything little" things and get stressed for things that they should not worry about (I am one of those sometimes). So it is important to prioritize our problems, sort them out to see if it is really that worth to fuss or cry. At the end we should look beyond ourselves and accept that there are more serious issues out there, people and helpless animals are suffering and struggling to survive from life threatening diseases, poverty and abuse. We should appreciate our blessings.Nelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035369532382303724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-17287781256539257022011-10-14T17:03:38.521+08:002011-10-14T17:03:38.521+08:00Hi Jo!

(to those who didn't: please don't take yourself so seriously)<br /><br />Back in the day when I started blogging, the whole language issue was a bit of a problem for me. British English or U.S. English, it was a tough one.<br /><br />I opted for (my imperfect version of) British, for obvious reasons like being taught British English almost ten years ago, the "u" in "colour" (similar to the Dutch "u" in "kleur"), and the sexy British accent (had to be said).<br /><br />Anyhow, good one, Jo!Bibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306565828807716861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-15552484214099366222011-10-14T13:09:59.643+08:002011-10-14T13:09:59.643+08:00It's late, so I haven't been able to read ...It's late, so I haven't been able to read the whole thing yet. What I've read is cute. But it starts with a faulty premise. The Crown can't revoke US independence because it did not give it to us. We took it. We didn't politely wait around (like Canada). We threw off the yoke of British imperialism--and we have MANY more guns now than we did then. LOL!<br /><br />I'll read the whole thing on Friday.<br /><br />Good night!!! =)Ricademushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347446705678305814noreply@blogger.com
