I cannot believe how a joke thread about the English language has devolved into this. I'm appalled. Seriously. And you guys are full grown men too.

A Matrix Mod really needs to lock this thread down. Treale, I'm sorry that this has happened to your light hearted thread.

Says the man using a picture of a KITTEN executing another KITTEN with a SWORD! You monster! For shame!

And JD, if you like that pig saying, I am just full of them. I mean, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Funny, some folks pronounce it like that here, even though the only proper way to spell it is "aluminum". Some people just love to toture themselves I guess. Perhaps some have a mental block to fully seperating from the "Old Country"

We had a vice president that misspelled potato in the early 90's and man did Saturday Night Live have a field day with that! I cannot remember his name to save my life...

That would have been Dan Quayle.....

Only a stinking savage would spell it or pronounce it that way. Some people think extra vowels grow on trees.

But of course what else could we expect from aborgines who eat haggis and kidney pie?
