| American english is just wrong anyway. I find myself having to use it a lot though to be understood in canada. I sorta have English and Not-so-English vocabularies to compensate for them being wrong. It's not their fault though, I blame america. |

And ex-pats :p
And I should bring this up, Ian. You're not in any kind of place to talk about 'proper English'. Unfortunately, this is defined by one of three factors in the UK:
1) Proximity to Birmingham
2) Proximity to Newcastle
3) Proximity to Glasgow
I'm so sorry, midlander :p |

| I don't understand what any of those 3 'species' say :p Glasgow especially. |

| Some Americans say "Vace" and some say "Vahz", it just depends on the person. "Vace" is probably more common, though. |
