Yeah yeah. I know everyone is being called a nazi and yet they're all supposed to agree with you. You want applause or something? I don't even know what basis you have to judge whether anyone's a nazi and you notice I redefined a word? That was on purpose. As close as I could get to what was intended by #12.

Private_Coleman

They're all nazi's too, who can't spell let alone string together a logical sentence.

Gwahir

that's your opinion. Nothing factual, Cold.

The knowledge imbued to me through my Cambridge University History degree (acquired in 1925) explicitly states that the Holocaust didn't happen - in fact, there was no mention of anyone named Hitler either. Obviously you're making up the Catholic religion as you go. Everyone knows history stopped in 1924 - it's a fact.

This is pathetic, folks. You're spewing drivel out every imaginable orifice in an attempt to gain popularity in the eyes of your peers here on this forum, totally ignoring that the people who post here are so deplorable it's likely their own parents have willed themselves to forget of their child's existance! You want to emulate the backward mannerisims of the other mishaps? You wish to pretend to be just like every truculent fleatrap who chooses to post on this board? Do you find pleasure in molding yourself to fit the image of a recondite computer user who only finds kinship in other people he will never personally meet, but has no qualms insulting?

Eh... I could go on, but I'm bored, and I'm tired. It's late. There's my contribution.

Capitol is a specific reference to that building in Washington D.C. Capital is the generic term.

It should be. Spelling the English "colour" as "color" in America and labelling it the English language is just plain silly.

doesn't make it a different language, if anything a major dialect with minimal change.

I got taught in school dialect is the way people speak a language and form sentances not how they spell the language. That I was always taught was an incorrect spelling.

EDIT: Colour and color are said the same. Dialect is the same, spelling is just plain silly and color is incorrect.

Caboose

You want a dialect?

Y'all ain't never gon learn no proper speakin terms cuz there ain't none to be learnt.

nor would you find us saying something like 'summat'

Gwahir 'summat' is a dialect, I'm guessing cockney. I personally don't say it, and it is heard occasionally round my area but not often, mainly with the young teen chavs.

Before you even say it's no differenct to something like colour/color, color is included and taught in schools as the language. Summat isn't, and it is discouraged.

...

What the hell.

A dialect can be a completely different language not just the way they pronounce words differently.

For instance there are 1650 different Dialects in India. (There is no <b>one</b> Indian Language).

You learn something new everyday, huh?

Caboose

Is that like Spanish, French and Italian are sort of like dialects of Latin?

Or redneck is a dialect of English?

Okay! stop! Lets resolve this peacefully, with handguns.
