they heard a British person say "irrespective" and they fancy themselves a bit of a thinker.

They say "then" when they mean "than" because they aren't.

He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man.
i figured the word 'irregular' was more likely the inspiration because of all the americans who go to outlet malls and costco and such and buy cool name brand stuff that is "slightly irregular" for a fraction of the price. i never even considered that british people could have caused all this!

Maybe if Americans wanted to be smart they'd speak American and not English. They're just handicapping themselves by using a foreign language all the time

people say things because other people understand the things they are saying. that is the fundamental basis of language. i hope this has been enlightening

Actually we never are in a position to use the word 'than' because we don't think sequentially.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
OP on a scale from 75-100 how hosed up are your teeth? How poo poo is your accent? How retarded are you? 75 being like the least hosed up tooth, accent, and brain brit who is imaginable.

Cuz I'm at like 60. :smug:

Seriously why do Americans misspell that constantly? Even well educated people that should know better do it all the time. Surely after the 20th time you saw a squiggly red line under it you'd check what's up.

Stop using contractions. Your prose reads like it was written by a pleb.

I had a dumb loving mba boss once that used to say, "Misfortunate." He was talking to me about something he didn't even understand once and I flipped the poo poo out when he said that. Now everyone at work says misfortunate to me when they mean unfortunate.

I've killed 7 people in the last few years.
