Or, because I live in England, the nation that invented English I spelled aeroplane correctly because we can cope with slightly complicated words. Those silent letters must be a bugger for you Colonials, I know how you like everything to be spelled phonetically (fonetikly?)


This is an interesting bit on the different uses of the term. Apparently, according to BRITISH n-grams, Airplane is gaining in popularity and, ocassionally, used more often than aeroplane these days. There's hope for you lot yet. Next up? Aluminium.

I'm not getting involved in the English/American language debate as I'm from Appalachia and don't have a dog in that hunt.

But I do have to admit that you Brits sound smarter even when you're mispronouncing words.

WoT is World of Tanks.....that silly thing Dixie et al got me into. Im up to a fully decked out SU-85.


It's a fun diversion, I've got accounts on the EU and North American servers. The US seems pretty deserted whenever I log on though, so I'm going a lot slower over there. I'm also trying to get my first crews up to 100% skill before I move on to level 3.

On the EU I finally managed to get the JagdPanther, the thing is a monster. Shame I'm rubbish at driving it! It's too big to hide like the JagdPz and it takes bloody forever to reload, especially with the 105 cannon (big booms though).

I still prod buttock in the Matilda though One battle, 9 kills and we still didn't win.





My personal best was either 5 or 6, cant recall. Didnt win that one either.

I had a derp gun (122 howitzer) on my 85. Its fun as hell in the right circumstances. I one-shotted 3 guys in a row in one battle. But the 5.something reload speed is a killer, especially on maps with no cover.

I hope not, I'm still trying to figure out who these idiots were who thought they lived more than once before YOLO took off. As for swag, I thought that meant "seriously wild assed guess" but it looks like I was wrong.

The best definition I heard of for swag is "what McDonalds employees have a lot of".

That's West-BY-GOD-Virginia. Otherwise known as "occupied Virginia" amongst my Southern brothers and the last to utilize the ancient language of Appalachia.
