How much is a brazillion? That sounds like a lot. |
Let's see, there's million, billion, trillion, stallion and Brazillion.
That's like one million with 12 extra zeroes, or the whole population of China :eek: |

I wonder if they know how to use upper case letters or apostrophes? ;) |
You're joking, but what's actually funny is they don't. At least not apostrophes. I have an apostrophe in my last name, D'Alba. My driver's liscense: D Alba, my library card: DAlba, my credit card: Dalba. At least blockbuster gets it right.
I love how half the time when I say apostrophe when spelling the last name they have to send out a search party on their keyboard. |

i disagree. in general most americans arent all that bad, but most are pretty clueless to things beyond their borders, tho most dont come right out and say it, those who do, i have a hoot with. for instance i was talking to this college kid at the sears tower this weekend while i was in chicago (great city btw) so upon finding out i was canadian, first question, "so whats the culture like up there? i bet its cold". keep in mind that this kid was in political science at college..... not a good start to a budding career in international affiars.....
i then proceeded to explain to him the dynamics of the canadian ethno political system.... the roaming bands of nomatic eskimos that inhabit the region of muskoka, the french canadians that have dug a 3000 mile trench to seperate themselves from the rest of canada and paddle back to france like the early voyagers, the militant asian resistance that has laid siege to the province of vancouver, and how we recently re named our dollar to the "moose"
i usually meet at least one complete idiot anywhere i go in the states, but ill meet dozens of people that genereally have no clue about anything to do with their northern neighboors and largest trading partner. ive met lots of americans who are very intelligent people but i find that most of them unless they ahve been to canada before no little about it. We get engineers from dearborn comming up to the plant here in london ontario all the time wearing winter coats in july.... ITS HOTTER HERE THAN IN DETROIT USUALLY |
the reason you never hear anything about canada in the states, or elsewhere for that matter (excluding canda), is because it sucks. |

I refered to an attoryney as a lawyer and he said, 'im an attoryney not a lawyer'
