We got stuck into the poor American girl in one of my lectures last week about the 'proper' pronunciation of aluminium (Alu-mini-um, not Aloom-inum, bloody savages!) and why it was that Seppos make the H silent on words like how 'herbs' become 'erbs' and so on and it was all quite funny until the cute Canadian girl got involved, then it was on like Donkey Kong between them. What is it with you guys (Yanks) and Canadians?? Was there some secret Vietnam that happened between your two nations that you've somehow managed to keep secret??
Oh, #5, priceless! I'm so sick of English (US) defaulting itself randomly even after I've changed it to civiliSed English in my MS Office. Seriously? Who uses the Z button outside of spelling Zebra and other words beginning with Z?
