*arranges an invasion force to make all Americans learn the language*
Oh sir, do NOT make me pull out my English Lauguage History source books. There are several examples of American usage that is more true to English as spoken prior to the major pronunciation shift that occured in Britain in the early 1800's. I could point out that Britian itself has more differences in pronunciation then then the whole of the US, though that has been shifting in the last 50 years or so. Speaking of which, what region are you a BECC4 from? I'd love to get a better idea for what your accents might be like.
You must have gone nuts hearing the pronunciation of "lieutenant" then.Doug84 wrote...
I always get foamy mouthed with annoyance when they incorrectly pronounce that word...
Sorry if I sounded ranty there for a moment, but English Language History is a personal area of interest, I get a little testy when I hear about how one version is more "correct" then another. Plus I've had a very looooooooooooong day. Would someone please pass me a drink and some Kaiden pics?
*Yikes! What was that!"
