Sir, you have the cart before the horse. Most all of our English language originated from other languages, with Latin being the primary one.


It's time to let the Roman empire die a natural death. The Angles and Saxons finally learned to co-exist and if it hadn't been for the Normans, we might not have so much French in our language. If I remember right ( I was there but it's been so long) Henry was the King who made Anglish the official court language instead of French.

Being a colloquial province, we should embrace our colloquialism and finally become free of foreign influence. By adopting the most powerful language this country has created - money, we could become unique. Even in politics, everyone knows that the dollar speaks louder than words, makes cents to me.

I have a lot of excuses for my misspelling, and typos!
My fingernails are too long.
My hands and fingers are to dry and slip all over the Keys.
I'm a typist II, and can type faster than thinking.
I lost my glasses. Broke my glasses, and can't see very well.
I have a migraine and it's blurring my vision.
I'm trying to cook at the same time I comment.
I gotta go to the toitie real bad.
My hands are small and don't always reach the proper key.
I'm trying to type while watching an excellent movie.
I don't no how to activate my Windows 8 dictionary.
etc. etc.

If I said keep your friends close but I accidentally said close instead, well, I should be excused. Our language is hard enough as it is without the landmines all over the place. Want to declare marshall law and be the town martial? Be my guest, but throw the French out first thing. Our language is so full of French words that it has become déclassé to speak American.

Know anybody who is a pizza s**t or a sumb***h? Well, they're just peeps like the rest of us. When a simple language can be derailed by context, throw it down the well, well now, that's a good idea. Is it Mrs. Ms. Miss or Myth ( if you lisp )? I don't know, but I better not miss that Miss or I'm in trouble.

I know there are typo's, just as there are type a's and b's. So what? If Wii can't understand plane American, thin watt hope is their for the human races? No idea is as profound as the one we congratulate ourselves for coming up with. So all that nose is just us slapping ourselves on the back, witch is a good thing, it keeps the flem from getting stuck and causing newmonia.

Really? Did you know that a f*ggot is a piece of wood (british) and a f*g is a cigarette (australia)? You put your groceries in the boot and when your car doesn't start, you have a look under the bonnet.

I am well aware of the kings English, however, I am an American and the king can kiss my ass. If I wish to misspell words, confuse context, syntax or pay NO tax, I will do so. If I say we're, but forget the ' and it comes out were, fed up with the spelling and sentence structure police.

Pleze dont get mad, just get reel. The brain is quite capable of discerning context no matter wut the wurds luke like. Disin sumbody because of there spelling is indicative of, lets sea, childish arrogance. :P

Alright I get it this is an obvious slam against the southern ways of pronunciations and enunciations isn't it?

Admit it!

I don't know why they call it English, we obviously speak American and it has its own set of rules (which we seem to still be defining).

By colloquial, you mean like: this 'thing', that 'dumafloget',This 'thingamajig', that 'whatjamacallit'. Those words are fairly colloquial.
