Enough of the flaming, alright?

Who's flaming? Do you mean my reference to the Texan Village Idiot, who shall henceforth be referred to as the Village Idiot Texan, or VIT for short?

Where's the flame there?

You do realise, I hope, to whom we refer with VIT?....he's not a member here. And he is an idiot, and he is Texan...... where's the flame?

It's no secret around here that you're a flamer.

As a personal, real life friend of Harcourt, I am able to comment about him.

Flamer, noway, get a life.

We speak "The Queen's English" here.

The real English, more's the pity you don't.

The President's English has come about through Americans inability to spell as required, just too lazy to learn.

For some unknown reason, the English, Queens English dictionary will not check spelling.

Feel sorry for you.

Kiwis might write the Queen's English, but they don't speak it. Same goes for the majority of England.

I think with these online dictionairies there should be an option for the user to choose which "English" they want. How difficult can it be to link that to a user's profile?

OK, but we write using the Queen's English.

Unfortunately, as I stated earlier, only Ammurican english seems to work when spell checking, despite the option for either.

OZ has been contaminated by the President's English, it is sad to say.

Ammurican english

It is "American English" when you use one of these new fangled, fascist, non-Kiwi, non--Queen's English spell checkers.

Here's a law for you - how to behave during RAMADAN. Tomorrow over here is the first day of Ramadan. If you aren't Muslim but are seen in public smoking, eating, drinking (anything) or chewing gum - you could get in big trouble. Should non-Muslims be exempt? In my opinion, no. This is the UAE, a Muslim country, and if that's the way they do it here, why not? I'm sure it's hard enough without expats walking around witih a big. cool bottle of water or munching on a burger.

I think I'll start a new thread about this...
