    Sure, in older texts you'll occasionally see the British spelling. I never stated otherwise. I simply corrected your erroneous statement that, "Aluminium is the standard spelling in the US."

    Johnny English is a very different character from Mr Bean
    Read on.
    No they don't. Can you guess why I would say that?
    No they don't

    Yeah I thought you'd do that.
    The fact of the matter is that what you said was plainly false, quite offensive and derogatory.

    Yep!

    Actions speak louder than words. Words collectively have a purpose, they have an intent and comprise an action.

    By not supporting the unity of Americans in defense of the constitution by agreeing free speech has that purpose, you are against the American constitution.

    Where did you say you are from?

    No I didn't actually. Yes I did misspoke when I said it was the standard but not the usage.
    Have you actually been to Britain?

    No, but I watch Doctor Who, Broadchurch, Mr Bean and Monty Python and my favorite fish fry is from a British bar called 3 Lions so I think I am an expert on all things British.

    Driven on the wrong side of the road lately?

    It is the British who are insignificant, and have been since long before the revolutionary war. Today they are little more than another 3rd world cesspool who owe their very existence to the benevolence of the New World powers who dwarf you in every respect, including penis size.

    You are obviously an ass..... If the Soviets did not need the aid from the US, it would not have been provided and accepted. The Soviets had their hat in their hands as did all of Europe asking for whatever the US could provide to keep the Germans from kicking their asses and eating their lunches. Without US support, Hitler may have very well taken the Soviets and Europe. Soviet manufacturing has never been in the same league as the US.

    You have not read appropriately let alone answered so. Gary still does that for you.

    If you were from the UK and here trying to foul Americans thinking with your unaccountable nonsense, acting just like a covert infiltrating agent, that is logically what you would say.

    You've exposed yourself now and Americans here are fairly sickened by your positions. Hard to believe the pettyness that evasion leads to.

    Yes I have. All you've done is come out with endless amounts of nonsense which is vague to say the least.
    Not once in nearly 2000 posts have I actually made derogatory comments about Americans and yet I've seen you lot do it all the time towards my country and most haven't even been.
    So far nobody has actually challenged my position on the war. The last guy (in another topic) that tried didn't do well.
    To be honest I just don't care any more. Some of the best people have gone and what's left is just a lot of angry ignorant people and more than a few loonies.

    Why would they "let" the Americans win? After all, the Americans had no military per se. They had no united government or leader. Were they not proud of their military and reputation? It should have been a cakewalk. Is that what you are really taught or are you just a troll? LOL

    The Muslims in the US are more assimilated because our country has been more diverse since it's inception. How's Rotherham?

    There were two phases of the war the first two years it was a rebellion and the British tried the simple solution rally the patriotic American Colonists and take out the bad element, it didn't work well, then Genera John Burgoyne was defeated by the American forces that made them a serious issue to the enemies of Britain then France, Spain and the Netherlands recognized the American government and declared war. THAT made it global and a real fight they had to fight off by Sea three nations, in India there was a rebellion and the Americans just kept fighting no matter what. Its kind of hard to defeat a nation whose leaders move the seat of government as needed and can always maintain a military force.

    But how could the British have deployed its full force when by the time they realized the threat the Americans were aided by significant nations of the day AND had to fight in the North American Continent against a determined conventional and non-conventional force, they never could.

    It isn't
    That's a football chant. It isn't used in every day life.
    It's inaccurate.
    No.
