Re: attention phatima

Well, AMERICANS (i.e. Shikra and myself :rolleyes: ) are much different in several cases. Yet, I conclude that we are all human beings, and therefore, we all are entitled to our own opinions and standards :slight_smile:

Re: attention phatima

That was quite rude :snooty:

Now if you’ll exscuse me, I’m off to do my Maghrib Namaaz and to have a sip of tea for supper :). :flower2:

Re: attention phatima

exscuse is supposed to be excuse :rolleyes:

Re: attention phatima

Yes, and let me take a few seconds to point out several differences in which case the Americans are correct. :slight_smile:
Color, not ā€œcolourā€
Favorite, not ā€œfavouriteā€
Pants, not ā€œtrousersā€
Sneakers, not ā€œjoggersā€

Hmm, and I have just came to a sudden realization that perhaps the reason we Americans are so much more advanced is because of the fact that we are encouraged to speak the correct way.:slight_smile:

Re: attention phatima

Oh, I’m terribly sorry. I don’t usually go through and do a mental ā€œspell checkā€ for each of my posts. I’m a very busy person you know :snooty: .

Re: attention phatima

:rotfl:

u lot dont have a language…u copied us. we Invented English cuz WE live in England :halo:

Re: attention phatima

Yes which is why they are referred to as 2 SEPERATE languages. There's English, and then there's American English. Oh wait, and there's a third language invented by the famous pioneer Snoop Dogg. "For Shizzle Dizzle My Nizzle" ;) .

Re: attention phatima

let me correct you…u dont know how to say tomatoes…its ā€œtomatosā€ā€¦not ā€œtomaytosā€ :rolleyes:

dont confuse chips with crisps

its ā€œzedā€ not ā€œzeeā€

dont ur teachers teach u anything :halo:

Re: attention phatima

woteva u call it. the fact is that u copied us…hence the reason its called English. whether or not u choose to add ā€œamericanā€ at the beginning or not

copy cats

thats like me inventing a language called ā€œbritish urduā€ :rolleyes:

Re: attention phatima

^^ Hmm…
I’m sorry? Did you just say that we COPIED you? :konfused:
Yet, in the post right above it, you are pointing out the differences. :konfused:

Oh, I’m sorry, I must be getting ahead of myself :rolleyes:. I’ve noticed that many UK inhabitants are fond of contradicting themselves. I find it fascinating :slight_smile:

Re: attention phatima

HAHAHAH…omg :rotfl: ā€œcrispsā€

:rotfl: Yea, ok, go on and call them ā€œcrispsā€ā€¦(at the risk of sounding like a freshie) :stuck_out_tongue:

And why would we pronounce the letter ā€œZā€ like ā€œZedā€? Why not just say it the correct way, ā€œZeeā€, and leave it at that :blush:

Re: attention phatima

Impulse, we didn't copy you. Messed up people from your country came to our country and modified the English. If there's someone to be blamed, that's English people, also known as American.

Re: attention phatima

which messed up people from our country?

it still doesnt change the fact that English is OUR language named after OUR country…you copied us…why couldnt u invent ur own language ? :rolleyes:

like the French have their own

the Spanish have their own

Germans have their own

at least the people in Europe are half as decent as you are that they dont copy us firstly. and secondly, dont reverse the blame back on us :rolleyes:

but shikra, I do now want to argue with you…because I know you never give up :halo:

Re: attention phatima

hahahahaha…it’s simple. ā€œIndiansā€ living in US didn’t speak english so it’s obviously introduced by the people who got off of mayflower and started living in America seeking religious freedom. Where did those people come from? A majority from England. Since they started a new country, they messed up their own language, which is known as American English these days :halo:

Re: attention phatima

Yes. Bloody Christopher Columbus and those ABSURD tights he wore :mad2:.

The idiot thought he had stopped in INDIA :smack2:. That’s why he referred to them as Indians. And that’s why NATIVE AMERICANS don’t like to be referred to as INDIANS.

Christopher Columbus talked a lot of crap when he got back to England too. He went and told everyone that the Native Americans loved his company, when really he was forcing them out of their own land. Ever heard of the Trail of Tears? Yea he made the poor Native Americans migrate to central United States in order to claim THEIR land!!! :mad2:

So, in fact, the English language was more so FORCED upon us Americans, due to the Englsih settlers lack of tolerance and respect for others land.

God Bless America :teary3:

Re: attention phatima

meh ne kaha na…I dont want to argue :rolleyes:

(waisey ek ziddi bande se argument karne se bhi koi faida nehi) :slight_smile:

Re: attention phatima

agar itni nafrat he na English se…to nehi bhola. :halo: u might as well learn French or something…but even that would again be copying us Europeans (just like the Canadians copy us Europeans by speaking French).

so whatever u speak, you still lose in the end and we still win. Cuz we are the ones who INVENTED these languages :hula:

Re: attention phatima

I feel an ounce of disgrace every second i utter an English word. I have but no choice to speak this language. Not only is it my home language (of America), but it is what these freaks (what you call, teachers) at the educational facilities are requiring me to know.

And, what seems to amaze me by comparing every one of my posts, and that of yours, is how much more advanced my English has come to be, and yet, you go and display yourself as a true English figure. :snooty:.

Learning French takes too long. Perhaps I shall speak in Pig Latin instead.

Re: attention phatima

I am not the one being ziddi :rolleyes: I am stating the reality and you are refusing to accept it :hoonh:

Re: attention phatima

you have no right to say anything about my English. I can also use big words like you but Id rather not because then I will end up sounding like one of my professors.
