or the reverse on dates so the day before the month.

1.000 is 1
- yeplowimpakt
- a very definite onepeterorpete
- But in almost all other European countries 1.000 = 1000.doctor
- 1.0 means that . is a decimal.
therefore 1.000 =1
Nadooy - Poor lloyd, so stupid.********
- definitely one.slappy
- You've got it the wrong way rond. Europe use , as decimal point, UK use .5timuli
- nope, we brits use a comma to indicate a 'thousand'Not_Just_Another

I must admit I actually agree with the removal of unnecessary 'U's from words like 'colour' and 'flavour' etc. Makes sense to me.

- Joking. Hai Set!Horp
- well, I am a cunt, but this comment here to our left my dear friend Horp, was made in sarcasm********

Also, I have always found it very odd that americans still happily say that they speak 'English'
Its odd, considering 1. they have fucked the language up beyond even being english anymore, and 2. they are so god damn patriotic I would have imagined it would be 'american' by now
- < Cunt.Horp
- i speak canadian... O_Opango
- I mean it this time though.Horp
- I'M ONLY JOKING AGAIN!!!Horp
- I've often wondered what it'd be like to have a first language that comes from a different country.Nairn
- no, they use international English. No connection.Ranger
- Horp, note 3 was funny but 4 ruined it mate********

Russell Brand
Spelling, etc. is almost the same as Canada, so I have no issues. I mean, come on, I'm sure Americans changed it more after they left. "ooohh...let's take "u"s out of words!!", and "freedom fries!"
- Ugh yeah. We deserve to be nuked for Brand's existence.Nairn
- I guess it's easier to take the "u" out, but I wonder which one actually sounds the way it is spelled.Jaline
- that lazyness of spelling words with a u is the reason americans are mostly fat.Akiraprise
