{quote} I would attempt the first two, as I notice the spelling of Aluminum is different. And Quay as I know as being pronounced as "Key". Is that right?
Do Americans really spell it as "aluminum" ? That would explain something.

{quote} Is it not, there is the Queen's English and then there is all that guttural gibberish that claims to be English. (I fall into the latter category and often make a mess of my own messy version.)
This morning ... on the wireless .... I heard that scientists had shut down an experiment. Two computers were talking to each other, and cooperated to modify the English to a form that could be more easily translated. The experiment was shut down when the scientists could nolonger understand the machines.

I wonder if they tried Patwah....

Wonder if that experiment was anything similar to the social media one's where the AI became "racist" within a 24 hour period.

"on the wireless" ah that took me back for a moment, it's not too often you hear that expression any more. It instantly gave me this memory

No prison in my view for this sick bastard. Should be just wiped off the face of the earth. We need capital punishment for "Caught Red Handed Cases". The message needs to be loud and clear and that goes for the likes of Harriet Harman too, she is rotten.

{quote} These people have been taught for years that the US is the bad guy. Yet they are terrified to look in their own closets. I have been noticing that the folks from the Balkans have a very poor outlook and understanding of the world. This site has become sadly pathetic. They enforce the PC mentality against anyone right of center but allow the gibberish of the left to stand. Lately I do not quote most in my comments. I do things like this: https://www.forexfactory.com/news.php?do=news&id=687567
That is an excellent idea SPZD! I will now adopt when posting in such threads. It's covert, and more importantly it AVOIDS having to respond to idiots who for no other reason want to play the antagonists! Thanks for sharing!

{quote} You are probably right. Perhaps also BBC? Has anyone noticed that in recent years, standards have really fallen? I am seeing poor grammar and sometimes spelling mistakes on signs and adverts, not to mention on much of what is published online. Standards used to be a lot better when I was at school before the days of the internet; we were taught how to write properly!

Also I was reading that cursive writing is not being taught anymore in schools. Is this true in English schools as well? I think in the advent of mobile devices it has contributed to the brain farts that exposes the lack of proper speech or for that matter a well articulated cogent intelligent thought. The human species is actually getting dumber as the years progress.

{quote} It's a characteristic for colonial countries to attempt to expunge all aspects of the coloniser (British in the cases I'm aware of) only to find out decades later that the British were successful because their ways and methods of organising government and the economy worked. India and Kenya are an example, Ireland too though Ireland wasn't quite a colony, it was an integral part of the UK. It's my view that the British are far closer culturally to the Americans, the Canadians, the Australians etc than the Europeans, for obvious reasons.
No, I think culturally we are more European. I find Americans rather fake, forever telling me to have a nice day when I am thinking sod off. I find the blind persistence to talk to me irritatating. So I am aloof and disinterested - hint, I don't want to talk to you, so go away. The French on the other hand are just miserable and rude, which is fine because then we are both clear where we stand. Germans are simply weird, which is fine too because I ignore them. Also I think Europeans see Brits as psychos, which is rather a nice reputation to have.

{quote} Yes, if you believe in God, and I do. Not talking about complicated subjects -- just everyday truths and lies. History is very subjective -- we are still learning facts of events that happened thousands of years ago. Historians do have a way of getting at the truth, given time. One of the ways the left is destroying our country is convincing people that the truth isn't important. The media used to laugh at how well Bill Clinton could lie and get away with it.

This is a perfect example of the Post Modern paradigm. The Frankfurt school is one such institution that sought to undermine moral values associated with the west. Everything from language, religion, art, architecture, to history, everything has been compromised on the alter of "Post Modernism"!

Then in that case you should appreciate New Yorkers then. Not the liberal snot flakes but the ones who tell it like it is and are not politically correct.

Because they make them do cursive at age 5 when most of them can't even write legibly and it takes them forever to do. A pain when you have to read their spellings.

Well just to be fair, some from the south are not slow witted, but just have a different style of speech pattern. Southern Charm is always something I find endearing. If I were living during the civil war, I wouldn't have been pro slavery, but I certainly would have been pro south as that war was not fought over slavery as many of the revisionists would have you believe, but over state rights and commerce. I never thought much of Lincoln who by and large was the biggest war monger and biggest corporate welfare contributor than any other president in US history!
