Dan Radcliffe is cool. Without even trying. And enjoys getting his **** out in Equus on stage. Must be hung like me!! (lol)

Luv What all men call women. "Yes luv, no problem"

Just wondering what is up with the Brits using the ou in words when it is not needed?

You know what I mean.

Color > Colour

Favorite > Favourite

That kind of stuff.

If you want to explain it to us yankees.

Please do.

You now have permission.

I'll stand up for eejit on this one, lol. We're the ones who got the language from the Brits in the first place, remember? So we're the ones who decided it's not needed and unnatural and decided to change it.

As to why though, I'm not sure.

[KaciBlakely]

I know we decided it, Tay.

I was just wondering why.

Other than to use up more space in their works of writing.

Maybe it is feel space.

Maybe not.

But eejit is a brit and I think it'd be better for him to explain to us.

Rather than just google it myself.

I'm wondering if he give it to us better than some random newsrag.

That's what the Brits call Newspapers?

Right? lol

In the 1700's the new pioneers hated everything about Great Britain.
They indocrinated everybody to think and talk and write differently that the Brits. It is now like Apples and Oranges in every comparison you can think of. Mutt's nuts

[eejit101]

Ringo is kinda right.

As for everything else....

Newspapers = Newspapers, or just "the papers"

As for why you americans were "lazy and took out the ou", its because your lazy. Thats why 95% of Americans are fat and full of cheese

[KaciBlakely]

That is not an accurate statement.

I am neither fat nor lazy.

And I think saying ninety five percent of Americans are obese and don't apply themselves is just wrong.

Do we need to give you swats Eejit?

We don't insult your Queen do we?

lol

I resent that
I'm not full of cheese
I'm full of cheeseburgers and fries.
