Why you people insist on using extra letters to spell thing such as color, or flavor is beyond me................


Why you people insist on NOT using the correct spelling is beyond me.

Actually, Koasati, the reason is simple; we speak English, you speak American, Jafo and his countrymen speak Austrailian. They are all just "versions" of one language.




Of course, us Brits use the right version.

Was waiting for someone to notice....BTW...I spent 6 years at Essendon Grammar School in Melbourne...so needless to say I can spell 'grammar'...

I didn't even notice, I was laughing

You should have heard the garbage the kids in jail were talking.

You know, we be kicking it down the beach side sliding up on some ho's and they been watchin us freak on them and we only justificating us to them and why they should ride with us...



I couldn't stop laughing and they would ask "waz so funie" and I would laugh even harder. The other older guys where stand offish with them and wouldn't say anything mostly out of fear because they ran around talking loud and large. Hell if they are old enough to be there they are old enough to slap intelligent.

Essendon Grammar School in Melbourne


If only they knew where Essendon is located!
Modern day hypothetical equivalent ... 'Broadmeadows University'

Actually, Koasati, the reason is simple; we speak English, you speak American, Jafo and his countrymen speak Austrailian.


And that's why we need certain 'British' TV productions 'sub-titled'!
