  1. It isn’t. Topic title should be Why is American English different from English English? There is no ‘British’, as it would imply the Scottish and Welsh had a hand in it, while the latter borrowed it later. 

     

    Beings as America was one largely borne of convict musings, they tended to speak improperly and cut short real words… saying what they saw if you like and pronouncing incorrectly… ‘leisure’ for example. Much like how some dialects roll, such as how the clipped southern Thai dialect differs from Central. 
     

    Oftentimes American English is easier and more logical in that regard, but please have some respect for the source. 😋

  2. Dunno how they work this out vs how many foreigners are already holidaying here and burning money but, regardless, and many will disagree, IMO Songkran is the best of Thailand. Other cultures have their festivals; La Tomatina in Valencia is fantastic and then there's Divali and Rio etc etc. But there's only one Songkran. The boomers will disagree of course. 🤣

    You do not, truly, believe that nonsense conspiracy-theory GARBAGE that I am an AI...

    Do you?

     

    I feel more empathy for others' conditions, not to mention sympathy for the Human Condition, than anyone else on this forum.

    You know what I say is true.

    Mmm, methinks one doth protest too mutt!

     

    I may potentially buy that GG is not an AI, but the fallback condition is that you is one of them boomer articles, which is in all actuality certainly a big one down from the former. However, as you say you do empathy, it surely cannot be so. 🙂

     

    How is the AC going and what is the COP?
