    Americans and the letter 'H'...

    You drop the 'H' in 'Herbs' but then say 'Ve-here-call'.....

    I can live with the 'Herb' thing because you are using the french pronunciation - I hate it but get it...

    But why 'vehicle'?

    I don't lose sleep over it, but it does annoy me for some reason.....

      Any time I go to America, I always notice they pronounce Scott with an A, so it sounds more like Scatt!

      When I say Scott, they are like "huh? Oh you mean Scatt !!!"

                                      at least we don't add vowels, such as aluminEium.

                                                      It is spelled aluminum
                                                      A-Lu-Min-Um is how it is pronounced.
                                                      {{ NOT al-u-min-E-Uhm}}

                                                      No I, E or other extra vowel back there.
                                                      alu - greek or latin for salt im not sure

                                                      minium - another similar salt mineral with a red oxide color used by the romans

                                                      they are both similar to bauxite from witch aluminum is transformed...

                                                      alu-minium loses one i and becomes aluminum but the european pronunciation is technically correct...

                                                          ah, so the brits just added in the extra i so the spelling would match the ununciation.

We had to use drunken pantomine, because he did not see the need to use his tongue while speaking. The guy next to him I could understand just fine.

                                                                                              Look, we all speak some French, thanks to you getting your asses kicked by Guillame in 1066. Good show! Then for 300 years you were a vassal population like the Spartan Helots. Now we have slight differences, but damn you guys can act, so I love all of you, except the ones that stab people on the streets and cut them up, or set houses on fire with people in them, or sucker punch 70 year old men and kill them, etc.

You seem to be one of those people who bases their whole opinion of a country on what someone else says, or they see on TV, instead of what they've experienced themselves...
