Narachon Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Time to dump all the pommies and check the Americans out huh? Ah hah! Finally coming round I see, Elsie? We're all not bad you know. I'm out though, married as you know, but if I weren't, I would have given you a go. You seem like a no b@@@sh!t straight away girl, the way I like them. Narachon seems like a good guy; I give him my full endorsement. Thanks for the full endorsement, mbkuku! LC, Pom Poochai Na-rak, leew Jai dii Mahk! And yes, the Yankees are kicking the Redsox @$$e$! The Yankees just do what comes naturally... Steinbrenner's a prick though Yes, George Steinbrenner (owner of the Yankees )is a Bastard, ( Coach Torre barely talks to him, and Don Zimmer hated him) but I guess he is doing something right!

The Gentleman Scamp Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 Blimey! You know who else I forgot, only Mr. Baht&Sold. When I came to Phuket the other week to look for work, I had to run back inside the apartment in Hua Hin because I'd forgotten my nail clippers and a book to read on the bus, so I went back to get them. Six hours later I realized I had forgotten my national diploma and my soap. See how easily it happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely realise, with an 's'. The sybillant sound in English is formed using 'ss', except whan at the beginning of a word when a single 's' will do, or when the 's' is followed by certain consonants. Using the 'z' is an Americanism. Say 'wise' or 'eyes', no one spells these 'wize' or 'eyez' (or no one I know). LC: stick to your guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the 'z' is an Americanism. It's an absolutely petty argument, but that's what we're here for. Anyway, I am surprised that Scamp spelled it with a 'zee' or is that 'zed'. The official Soap Dodger's Dictionary has it with an 's', whereas the official Sepos Dictionary has it with a 'z'. Scamp is a bonified Soap Doger is he not?

mango Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 so-called "American" English, actually is nothing more than a bastardisation of the proper and correct English language. I kindly request that you waste not your own precious time or mine by arguing over whom may be correct as regards to this subject since the Oxford standard is the most widely accepted and orthodox orthography in the English-speaking world. It is actually the most accurate guide to the spelling of the English language available today. orthography? or?thog?ra?phy ( P ) n. pl. or?thog?ra?phies 1 The art or study of correct spelling according to established usage. 2 The aspect of language study concerned with letters and their sequences in words. 3 A method of representing a language or the sounds of language by written symbols; spelling.

Dickie Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Why are the English called "Soap Dodgers" anyway? I though tthat was the French! "How do you hide something from a Frog? Put it under a bar of soap!". Apparently a joke some hundreds (I kid you not!) of years old. I gather the English are called soap-dodgers because we don't seem to realise that people bred for cold climates can rapidly start to stink in hot ones. In England you can shower first thing and last all day. In LoS you last a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
