    I didn't call anyone a cunt, but if the cap fits, unless of course what I said was true.

          I remember watching fresh prince of bel air in the 90's and in one show a distant relative from England visited and called wil Smith's square bear cousin a wanker....it wasn't even beeped out...

          That's more of a vocabulary issue though.

            And you'd be wrong. There is no need for an apostrophe within Brits here, neither is one needed in American's ?? It doesn't make any sense. Interesting that you followed the lead of the author, but then say "I took that authors lead on that one" and miss out the apostrophe where one is required.
            "The Obama's grew up in America" doesn't make sense either.

            A touch of sarcasm? I hope not, I hope i've been some help.

            In this instance, no need. Maybe one day, once you get the hang of the Queen's English (for example)

            Hope you don't think i'm being pedantic or anything, but in a discussion about the divergence and bastardisation of language, I think there is a relevance.

              ^You remind me of my mentor from my days in Commercial Real Estate Investing, he was completely American, but very very, very proud of his German heritage. He too likes to point out punctuation errors online sometimes. I guess everyone needs a hobby.

                Haha that's very funny, and I'm sure it's true.

                You remind me of a guy I once knew who was mute but managed to get a job with Royal Mail. He'd spend every waking hour posting other people's shit but never managed to say anything.

                  I'm sure Postman Pat didn't spend his day rating Birthday Threads a 5 and bumping TFI threads! Everyone has to have a hobby I suppose.

                        I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
