accents shouldn't really count though

there are regional differences even within england and not to mention the uk

i always thought it was funny how non-rhotic dialects insert an /r/ sound between vowels (when there is no letter r of course)

some good ones i just remembered:

nonsensical use of semester
junior college

darn i forgot the other one

F# A# (∞), Monday, 19 February 2018 04:55 (eight years ago)

Nonsensical use of “semester” is an English thing we inherited iirc

El Tomboto, Monday, 19 February 2018 06:01 (eight years ago)

In the UK they have something called “michaelmas”

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Monday, 19 February 2018 06:05 (eight years ago)

not since yewtree

reverse-periscoping (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 19 February 2018 06:10 (eight years ago)

In addition to the ‘Michaelmas term’ we have the ‘Hilary term’ which iirc the US also missed out on.

Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Monday, 19 February 2018 07:07 (eight years ago)

an English thing we inherited

Also true of sophomore, junior, etc.

on zing so can't ctrl +f for fahrenheit

Haribo Hancock (sic), Sunday, 25 February 2018 07:50 (eight years ago)

a) peanuts are in barely any of America's mostly-terrible candy

b) peanut butter NEVER is, only a weird gritty peanut-flavoured sugar sludge, occasionally

Haribo Hancock (sic), Sunday, 25 February 2018 07:52 (eight years ago)

is your pedantry a bug or a feature, i cant decide

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 25 February 2018 08:04 (eight years ago)

Sem-eye finals of world's championships of sports - the score, five hundred twenty to three hundred four.

Veg it's terrifying how much sugar or corn syrup is in almost everything here, and how little food content is in so many food items

Haribo Hancock (sic), Sunday, 25 February 2018 08:12 (eight years ago)

(xp) he carried an assist and rushed one hundred two yards in 32.7 seconds.

Incomprehensible sports with incomprehensible jargon, is what I'm trying to say. Incomprehensible jargon in general, in fact.

Video reach stereo bog (Tom D.), Sunday, 25 February 2018 08:18 (eight years ago)

xpost nah it is true that corn syrup is in everything, yr not wrong

Or indeed anybody

Simpson L. (darraghmac), Sunday, 25 February 2018 16:46 (eight years ago)

Maybe if y'all ate a little more sugar, you'd act a little more sweeter like us.

pplains, Sunday, 25 February 2018 17:02 (eight years ago)

Month/Day/Year is the worst thing about America, I refuse to use any date format anymore other than YYYY-MM-DD

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Sunday, 25 February 2018 17:04 (eight years ago)

month day year is so obviously insane and stupid that it's kind of awesome

scotti pruitti (wins), Sunday, 25 February 2018 17:05 (eight years ago)

Fahrenheit is a better temperature scale for the weather than Celsius though.

But what we really need is a temperature scale for the weather where freezing is 0 and 95F is, like, 9, so the temperature outside is just one digit

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Sunday, 25 February 2018 17:07 (eight years ago)

Month/Day/Year is like Minutes/Seconds/Hours, ie insane.

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 25 February 2018 17:09 (eight years ago)

...and therefore awesome?

scotti pruitti (wins), Sunday, 25 February 2018 17:10 (eight years ago)

True tbh
