a cheque comes in th epost. not a check

[stitch]

is that too difficult to remember? i get really annoyed by this.

In the US I'm afraid the check does come in the post.

Yup, Americanisms creeping into the language...

grim.

Everything spelt with Zs everywhere.

Words like Defense instead of Defence.

Center instead of Centre. It bugs me when English people do it.

and mom.
why do english people say mom? i want to ask people who do this but havnt worked up the courage yet in case theyre offended. i offended at least 3 poeple yesterday and thats my quota for a good while...

Oh lordy, i have seen "mom" on here several times but i always assume it is just American posters.

Luckily havent heard it once in real life, or else the poor person uttering such revolting words would have been swiftly beheaded.

People from Birmingham/the Midlands do say mom, though! It's not just an Americanism.

do they??
oh!
i dont want to behead anyone btw, im just curious...

"How are you?"
"I'm good."

NO, you are NOT. You are WELL or FINE!!

People with American mothers who've grown up over here often say mom as well.

but is them saying mom just the way the accent sounds when they are actually saying mum? or have i got the wrong? i didnt think it was spelled any ways other than mum or mam in this country...

Yes, my Birmingham-born-and-bred grandmother was always "Mom" to her children.

that is Allowed summat [gracious)

oops, think i say im good.

She always wrote it "Mom" as well.

fair play. then i understand/retract. thanks

I am good.

I am very well behaved

tis true, she is.

unlike me.... arf

Lol

My head hurts today though

water! and still lucozade. its the dehydratiuon that hurts. trust me, i was a professional party animal.

oops, did i say that without a smiley? how utterly pretentious

At the moment sleep is most needed. Didn't get to bed/sleep til late, then the dude screamed for hours

"Center instead of Centre. It bugs me when English people do it"

Do you mean British, or does it not bother you when Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish people use Americanisms?

nope, i assume theyre scottishisms, welshisms or northern irelandisms
