Confusing. "colour" works as an actualy HTML line, so is it just UBB code that discriminates against English speakers, hehe? ------------------ IP: 195.92.194.10 |

Well, you can also use just plain COLOR="RED" instead of using the Hex codes, any good browser will recognize the basic colors... ------------------ President Silver Fox [| || |UUUU| || |"| |]>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IP: 212.198.154.8 |

What I don't understand is why Americans feel the need to change the speelings of everything. I mean, they're not too bad at SAYING things, so why oh why can't they spell??? Why bother with English if they only abuse it???? ------------------ IP: 195.92.194.10 |

It's a dialect kind of thing, or something. American's spell a little differantly than English, but that's OK. ------------------ IP: 12.15.105.13 |

We dropped the u because we're a bunch of lazy bastards, you know how much time is saved by not putting that u in there on all those words literaly days of your life. So there, and while your at it you could change it so the e comes before the r. On an unrelated note. Lasalle County (my county) in Illinois is #1 in the nation on teen alchohol consumption. Woohoo!

Actually what we did was take the English Language from the United Kingdom and improve it by making minor changes. Example: saying i have a bonet on my ford mustang is sissy! and i will never smoke a fag, it's a cigarette!! those are just 2 minor improvements the Americans did to the English Language. To quote a good United Kingdom friend of mine, "YOU SPEAK AMERICAN, NOT ENGLISH YOU FOOL!" so, there you have it, i am not speaking english, i am speaking American ;p ------------------ IP: 208.192.60.20 |

What do you mean, "fag"? "Fag" hasn't meant cigarette for years, if you said you smoked a fag, that would mean you were some kind of sick gay basher!! Personally, I prefer cigars anyway  ------------------ IP: 195.92.194.1 |

Well, in Northern Ireland, people would look at you real funny if you said you smoked fags. I haven't heard anyone say fag meaning cigarette in anon-tongue-in-cheek way in ages. ------------------ IP: 195.92.194.1 |

The word "faggot", in archaic English, is a small stick which is burned. So there! heh. --- MG Spartacus IP: 209.112.140.10 |

Um, yeah, and in archaic English, it was normal to say things like "And in his malle he hadde a pilwe bere" or something like that. Ah, the joys of Eng Lit A-level, Chaucher, how I do hate thee . . . Speaking of which, my biology coursework has to be handed in in less than seven hours, and I haven't done it yet ------------------ IP: 195.92.194.8 |

Hey Spart, That's probably why English (to this day) still call a cigarette a FAG. Because it is a small stick looking thing that is burned? ------------------ IP: 12.73.234.9 |

I believe so, sir. My parents also remember a cigarette being termed a fag, when they were young. --- Major General Spartacus IP: 209.112.142.19 |
