Question

[wtg]

Anybody in Canada always supports two teams in any sport, Canada and whoever happens to be playing the US

It's cause the Canadians always root for the underdog.

[HTML]Reven: wannabepvr thanks for making me laugh

[french accent]stupid americans... [/french accent][/HTML]

I though I might of got really beaten up on this.
A. - off topic a bit.
B. - Very looong post
c. - Not popular with the worlds biggest (only) superpower.

But I am glad you got a laugh. I had tears the first time I read it.

I had previously send it on to some American colleagues and they were not amused. Hmmm.

I'm an American and I thought it was hilarious. Cracks me up that the Brits are bitter about us improving their language.

It's cause the Canadians usually are the underdog.

...The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part....

True story: This was verbally beat out of me by a grade-school teacher when I spelled those words "wrong" on spelling tests. She called it a "British affectation." As if a 6-year-old could define "affectation".

4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters. British sit-coms such as "Men Behaving Badly" or "Red Dwarf" will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.

You forgot "The Office" and the U.S.-made-for-TV "Doctor Who" movie. Eric Roberts as the Master? Come on! But IMHO we did get the American version of "Till Death Us Do Part" ("All In The Family" to those on the left of the Atlantic) right.

6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.

Hmmm... the Berlin Thunder, Amsterdam Admirals, Cologne Centurions, Hamburg Sea Devils, Frankfurt Galaxy, and Rhein Fire must be very unpoular, then.

15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.

Good to know. We'll keep it locked in the vaults for a while longer, then.

remember the "Auld Alliance"

Of course not... what the hecks an "Auld"? You forget I'm an American?!?

I think the Americans, were they to print it on a sign by the country road, would write "Ye Olde Alliance"

So would the English

Ah... haven't spent that much time the country (btw, shouldn't the Americans spell that 'contry'? ) side in GB, only in the States, so I just assumed it was an American thing.
