My redneck town ...

Yeah, "gray" is just too colouful, gotta be grey ennit? I am not sure there is an exact US word for the Brit's Tosser/Twat either, especially the latter said with venom and almost becoming two sylables. As my French friends say, "Vive la Difference" hey did you know that call a lift / elevator an Accenceur, sounds a lot posher.

Hate it when a guy tries to bum a nancy boy off of me.

Ja, I always use grey.  I don't know why we changed that one.

My Fair Lady is faaabulous - but I warshed me face an' 'ands before I come, I did.  

If it was good enough for Demosthenes, it's good enough for Eliza!

Much as I enjoy the differences in language and usage, I think the origional point is valid and well made, proffessional anchor men realy should be getting these things right, aspecially people's and place names.

In the US/England English debate, i think that early British/English lexicographers have a lot to answer for. Prior to dictionary we spelt Color/labor etc and along came some people who had a vested interest in making life more complicated than it need be and started "dressing up" the language, hence Colour / labour etc,. Our dictionaries now tend to give alternative spellings as well often refered to as "American" or "Alt" but recognising them as eaqually acceptable & correct, plays hell with crossword puzzles!  I blame Dr Johnson and his ilk.

So with spelling I think we, the Brits, are probably the guilty party but pronunciation, wow, I won't go there but I was taught the correct was to pronounce a "new" word was the quickest way through it, nuff said.

The differences between the British way of speaking and the U.S. is interesting.  

Why is it that when Brits sing pop songs, they don't have an accent?  

Maybe there is an easy answer to that one.

[The Buddha]

Yea Its impossible to sing with that accent ...
Cool.
