There are even a few differences between American English and Canadian English.

English is such a colourful languange.

You insult my honour with that u.

Isn't "honour" the Canadian spelling of that word as well?

Celli · March 18, 2004, 06:18:17 PM

That was kind of the point.

Are you sure Canadian English was not derived from the American version?

I'm pretty sure that Canadian English is derived from British English since Canada was populated by Europeans...though mainly the French, right? I am SO horrible at geography and that part of history! (take what I say with a grain of salt!)

You could say the same about the US...

Oh, stop being so technical...BTW, we fought for our independance from England...I don't know about Canada, but either they haven't or they did quite a while after we did. Somone provide me with the right answer, please!

Hey,NO...Canadian is derived from British...First French came and Then British took over so French are now a minority in a way. And the truth is Americans are a totally new story from Canadians...Canadians were in a way the leftovers of the American Revolution...LOYALISTS...

Koko....

What's so bad about geo and his? In fact I'm a braniac at it...I especially like politics though I would never want to get mixed up in it...

Never said I didn't like history...just I have a hard time keeping it straight. I believe in another post, I said something along the lines of that I find a few parts of history that I just become obsessed with it. The example I gave was with the Romanovs of Russia, mainly Czar Nicolas and Czarina Alexandria!

How about king's quest history?

koko_99_2001 · March 19, 2004, 08:45:35 PM

Give me a little bit of time to go over it again...been a while since I've studied it. And thanks for helping me boost my posts!

give and get...or is it?....get and give....?

koko_99_2001 · March 19, 2004, 08:55:09 PM

I think it's give and get...don't remember where it came from, but remembering "it is more blessed to give than to receive"...

koko_99_2001 · March 19, 2004, 08:58:03 PM

Cat

DragonSlyr · March 19, 2004, 08:59:21 PM

NO...that would be to nice...let him burn on a stake...In fact I'll be doing a fan art of him burning on a stake with cedric and the royal family running around like cannibals...(A bit cruel though too the royal family...NOTHING IS CRUEL Enough TO CONNOR
