What color do you think looks the best?

[Empty Pockets]

Well, since you be picking on E.P. let's talk about anorak. You wanna parka for a prize? Or does anorak mean somthing different "over there" (windcheater)? I'm confused. :willy

How's that for pedantic. I think I just advanced to first place. :thumbsup

And yes, I was a teacher - tought technical writing in college. I was super picky - would not even let them use the words "this" or "it" in anything written for me. :eek

Ah-HUMMMMM. Ackshully, Mr. AZGT, SIR ... "ANORAK" IS A HEAVY COAT WITH A HOOD. It is a big step UP from a "windcheater".
So, I be thinkin' thou art now in SECOND place on the pedantic leader board!:rofl

NOW LOOK WHUT YOU'VE STARTED, NEILDA!

Pedantic Pockets

 

[Neilda]

Uhhhhhh ... NUTHUN!:lol
Spirit & I be in America ...therefore we SPEEKS & SPELLS 'MERICAN!
We don't care HOW you dadgum furanurs spell thangs!:rofl

And, anyway, Neilda - ain'tcha suppose to be doin' 'C.E.O.' stuff right now?! You know, that 'work' stuff I hear so many folks talkin' about???

(Great! Now the Brit's gunna be after me too!:lol )

I can't begin to tell you how dull the CEO stuff is. In fact I can already feel my nipples exploding with excitement as I write another report on the state of global media.

As to correcting your spelling - it would be a pleasure:

'Spirit & I be in America' = I, along with my chum who is known here as 'Spirit' live in the United States of America.

'Therefore we SPEEKS & SPELLS 'MERICAN!' = As a consequence we not only speak slightly differently, but we also enjoy a lexicon that is markedly different to that found in England.

'We don't care HOW you dadgum furanurs spell thangs!' = I have little interest in the precise nature of your own language and, furthermore, I consider you to be a rather irritating foreigner.

Any help? :biggrin

Neilda - that was beautiful!!!!!! :rofl :rofl :rofl
You have NO idea how disappointed I'd have been if you hadn't offered a rebuttal of exactly that nature!:rofl :rofl :rofl
I bow to you, Sir! I do! You're alright!!!! :bow :bow :bow :cheers :cheers :cheers

(I can't resist this! "As a consequence, we have not only speak slightly differently ..." AIN'T GRAMATICALLY CORRECT... NOR IS YOUR THOUGHT CLEARLY STATED! "...we not only have slight differences in the way we speak..." would be preferable. Ah-hummmm...does THAT help?) (My bad!!!!!!!!)
(And, there should be a comma after, "...Spirit...", and before, "...live..." ! Ahhhh! I'll quit now!)

(But, I'm not going to admit I do that same 'stuff' every 5 minutes as well!)

That was actually funny.

You are quite correct - perhaps you would note that I had edited my original submission at 3.07pm some 9 minutes before you kindly offered your correction.

However I accept the errors contained within my original submission and tonight, Brabinger (my butler), will take me into the library and will beat me with a large leather-bound copy of the family dictionary.

If there are any other American/English translations that I can help with - you have only to ask...! :biggrin :cheers

Quite true. I had to answer the "tele"(?) before I'd completed the corrective post. Hence the delay. (Not to mention having to correct my own corrections before I posted the thing!:slap)

Oh! Tell ol' Brabinger I've requested he 'go lightly' with the blows, will you?

 

[Spirit]

OK, I'm back from one of them CEO meetings you was talking about, and look what has happened to this thread !!:eek

Keeping an eye on you guys is like trying to herd cats [actualy I think herding cats is easier].:willy

Dang, I'm just a Texan and don't speak any of them dialectics any of ya'll are tryin to speak.:frown

It's hard enough to speak Texican :biggrin , as is required in this part of the world, so as to get along with the natives.:shrug

I don't need a butler:frown , heck I got Mrs. Spirit :thumbsup [whoops, now I'll be in trouble].:frown :ack :eek

 

[AZGT]

I don't need a butler:frown , heck I got Mrs. Spirit :thumbsup [whoops, now I'll be in trouble].:frown :ack :eek

Brabringer - when you are done with Neilda, sounds like Mr. Spirit could also use a little correction :biggrin

Tea... what's the big deal?

Warm beer?

Left side of the road = not right!

 

[Empty Pockets]

...And all this started because poor ol' Neilda was just tryin' to be helpful! lol

But ya have 3 good points there, FUBAR!

Warm Beer

Fubar, Do you know WHY our English friends drink warm beer? .............

Lucus Refrigerators. The same company that invented darkness.

Am I wrong Neilda? LOL :thumbsup

 

[Neilda]

We have lager which is like your beer - served cold and yellow coloured. Then we have beer (or ale) which is room temperature and brown in colour.

Ah yes, Lord Lucas, The Prince of Darkness! There are many ancient Aston Martins still running around with their original Lucas parts working fine - I have a couple....

 

[GT Tech]

Just a link concerning Lord Lucas. Enjoy :thumbsup

Consider this a feeble attempt to bring this thread back to its original purpose. This ALL Red GT looks pretty hot.
