Mine too mate. I mean it really grinds my gears.

You can use a bit of WD40 to stop the grinding

Yo, I see what you did there

 

[Lips_Pearls]

I see what you did there

Jokes aside though, it really does annoy me in truth. I do find it very irritating when people - quite simply, have become FB or smart phone zombies and forgotten how to actually speak/communicate correctly.
You know we share the same ideas regarding grammar/Americanisation et al so..

One word Cadbury another word kraft = the worlds best chocolate gone to shit it tastes nothing like the original and yet they claim its not changed, yeah right sorry but that is a lie and was proven a lie and they still defend it. It was my favourite choc bar not now.

Cadbury has been bought out by a Turkish GM years ago. But never fancied cadburies anyway. Too much sugar.

The Americanisation of the UK?
I (Mr) found out this morning through HRH @Pearls that the American fast food restaurant Denny's Diners, (who knew!?) is coming to Swansea at some point in the very near future.
Another American Diner for the city.

So what do you think about the Americanisation of our culture, language (English..) and even down to restaurants and food chains?
Is it good for us? Bad for us? Is our own way of life being lost?
Does it grate you when someone says Airplane, or movie.. instead of aeroplane/film etc or types for example traveling not travelling - fantasize not fantasise, or are you okay with all of it?

As always a healthy debate is encouraged without flaming. x

Culture is becoming homogenised generally

Oh do not go there!

Still, I can't stomach it. It irks the hell out of me and that will not change any time soon I am (not)afraid to say.

Was in Melbourne a few years back and, fuck me, who knows where I really was...

Same food, clothes, shops, architecture... just different weather.

Yeah what gives with the Fall thing? It IS arse not ass. Ass is a donkey!
Chips, not fries... and chips are crisps....

Specialize. Familiarize. Summarize. Surprised that surprise isn't surprized.

Does language stay the same over a thousand years or even a hundred...?

Does it really matter?

Colour not color and neighbour not neighbor

Though a lot of my american friends now say fish & chips or chunky chips, french fries are the skinny kind.

I do love having the difference between
Chips
Fries
Curly fries
Waffle fries

Oh fuck how much I miss eating potato’s

 

[Lips_Pearls]

Does it really matter?

Yes. To me it does.
It's not about a shift in English here Joe, it's about another country taking it over.
It shouldn't worry you so much that it does, if it is not important to you.

Mmm I love sweet potato’s.. better being fed them by a hot naked man though

Who gives a fuck. Sex stayed the same throughout the centuries. No matter how twisted your mind is, the end if the matter is you blow your load and sleep.

Surely we can make arrangements for it.

Would you prefer the Russians... or Chinese cultural imperialism?

I can be amenable to that

Indeed it did but at least they kept the same recipe

Our past not shameful at all when you really look at it. India would be twice the shithole it is if it was not for us. Go ask an Indian if you don't believe me. I have been to many former British colonies and most see it as a good thing.

Fall is an old English word as is Gotten so it is correct usage.
