Born with bread (Money) in her mouth.
Most of us are born and bred.
You're right. A bad joke from a silly
old-fashioned Cumberland but unafraid
sausage.

Quoted from Bill
Is that the hippy equivalent of our UK 'Born with a silver spoon in my
mouth'?

Two countries separated by the same language.



Bill,

I certainly wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. The word I used was “bred” as in the past tense of “breed.” It’s an old expression. It was used arbitrarily and means nothing to me. I was answering a question. Nothing more.

If you don’t like the way I talk, I suppose that’s just too bad for you. Honestly, you sound rather snooty to me.



Quoted from greg
"I Love You So Much Do Me On Virginia Beach"?



Greg, that’s pretty funny -- haha. You’re a funny guy. Have you read my response to one of your posts in “The Wrong Guy” thread?




Kevan,

My little puzzle is impossible to solve -- haaa. No, I’m just kidding. I made it simple because I knew your complex, highly technical superbrain would overanalyze it. It’s so simple that I can’t even offer you a clue in public because then everyone would figure it out…..which means I’ll never figure yours out -- haha

This thread is just one long litany of misunderstandings
from a certain point.
I love the way you folks talk, from sunny Florida right up
to the frozen Dakotas. Don't love the way you spell words-
but I guess my UK friend is right- You've got a whole
different thang going over there now, 'cept maybe Boston.
Ah that reminds me, time for tea.



Quoted Text
Jonah -- haha! -- I thought you were talking to me. Well, now it makes sense. I couldn�t figure out which was more offensive -- that you called me a d*ck

You know what, Mr. Bill? I’m going to let you be because I can see that you’ve come here for one reason and one reason alone - to cause trouble. Of that, there is no misunderstanding. For example, you know very well that in America the word “thing” is not spelled as “thang.” Surely a language connoisseur such as yourself knows better. Therefore, it can only be correctly assumed that your inference was to bait me. Ah, but Bill, before you belittle an entire nation for lacking adequate English skills by comparison to Cumberland, England, you should do a little fact checking. There are two detrimental flaws in your snooty philosophy:

1) The English language did not originate in Cumberland, England. British people spoke Celtic when the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes arrived. They were Germanic tribes who crossed the North Sea from what is today Denmark and northern Germany. You can hardly claim your version as the definitive version.

2) Languages evolve. The English language is no longer pristine. You yourself don’t speak the same English spoken by your ancestors. Language exists for one reason - to communicate. Language rules exist for one reason - to communicate. Times change and people have to adapt. Language has to adapt to the times. Every historian on earth has to study the language of whatever period they study - not just for the information but by necessity. The writings found are indecipherable without knowledge of the idiosyncrasies of the time.

Yes, American English has drastically deviated from the English you know. But there are reasons for that. Reasons that make perfect sense. So you can belittle the way I speak and the way every American speaks all you want. I’ll give my life for your right to do that. But your indictment of our entire culture because our English differs from your own only serves to make you look not only troublesome but quite ignorant.

And with that, I’m done with you.

I’ll think I’ll have a glass of tea myself - iced tea.

Jonah,

What ever happened to the point of this thread. I understand we are all having fun but are you still looking for a screenplay to do. If not, then maybe you can make a Code's thread in the General section. I just don't want to go too off topic.

It's too late, Andrew.  This ship has sailed off course and it won't be coming back.

Jonah, there's a boatload of scripts here.  Try looking through some.

I apologize to Jonah for the direction this thread took. It started out with me offering some friendly advice, then one thing led to another.

The only thing I know that you can do Andrew is delete everything from my first post on.

Sorry.
