nuclear (new-clee-ar NOT new-cue-lar))

the wrong choice between there/their/they're
putting an apostrophe before an 'S' when it isn't needed
come on (NOT cha'mone)
I couldn't care less (not could care less!)
'lay' instead of 'lie'
Heighth (height)
when ABC writes ECNONMY (lol!)
when people spell 'separate' like 'seperate'
ath-a-lete instead of athlete
alot instead of a lot
chaise lounge (instead of chaise longue)
misusing ITS!!!!!!
ABC instead of ABC
their, there, they're
forte (fort, not for-tay)
adding hyphens where they're not needed
irregardless (no such word)
due to the fact that (because)
'Could care less' instead of 'Couldn't care less'
Arthur Itis
conversate
I hate when people say 'samwich' and not sandwich
zink instead of sink
axe instead of ask
pronounce "th" as "f"

The "alot" used to get me all the time.

I hate when people say "yinz" or "younz". That's retarded. We all know it should be "y'all".

Have you ever heard a person from Ediburgh say 'foyer'? it's hilarious.....they say"fweiyay"

Thats because you spell it wrong, lance -SUCKSDICK -again.

U r ignorant.
by Doctordraw on Wed Aug 04, 04 11:57pm [+]

buy a dictonary and read it shitty drawers! go fuck your fat mother you ignorant piece of shit! you fucking PAKI loving pedophile! hahahahahahaha Dr. DIPSHIT!

Intelligent stuff, i can see oyu had a top class education.

p.s whens ur book coming out again? You know, the one where you reveal how you were abused as a child, while your mother watched? Which explains why you turned out like you did? and why you laugh at your own jokes cos they arent actually funny? And that you hate pakis because your mum dumped your dad for one? Should be a real tear jerker of a novel, keep me updated on its progress.

Laters

Oh and note the use of the word "english" in the ballot title. The english (and every other country apart from America and a few spanish seaking countries) spell it ALUMINIUM, get it? Typical American ignorance, Lance - iswrong - again you represent everything that the rest of the world hate about America. I suggest you end your life now, and certainly DO NOT have children. The human gene pool doesnt need shit like you floating around in it. Your Fat useless redneck mother should have been strangled at birth before she could breed with your scum father.

Didn't mean to start a fight - sheesh!
by HBinVegas on Fri Aug 06, 04 12:52pm [+]

You really seem to crack yourself up, im happy for you. It means when you have been beaten by your illiterate alcoholic monkey of a father to the point of death once again, you can just tell yourself some jokes to cheer yourself up! And when you are 40 years old, have no friends apart maybe from your big black gay lover, have no job and your father has beaten your mother to death and is serving a life stretch, you can laugh about it all day and night by yourself!

Ur a lucky guy
by Doctordraw on Fri Aug 06, 04 1:31pm [+]

Don't worry about it. Lance has a problem. He's 'special'. He's dealing with it in his own little way.
by Heretic on Fri Aug 06, 04 1:34pm [+]

Couple of points though.

1)If the rest of the world DID speak and spell like you, none of them would be able to speak and spell, because you obviously cant.

2)You are a stupid cunt

3) If my mother was a crack whore she wouldnt HAVE any money to give me, you imbecile. And if she did she would spend it on crack, like your black cock loving little sister does to impress the local homies, so they will fuck her up her arse in your bed when you are at your "special" classes.

4)Its debatable whether america have anything that could fairly be called "culture" .

5)You have maybe 40 million blacks in your country, compared to perhaps 1 million "pakis" in england. Thus by your logic if im a "paki" lover then you MUST love black cock up your shithole twice nightly at least. Perhaps from the same homies who are fucking your sisters mouth right now.

6) You are a stupid cunt, now go and sniff your sisters knickers and masturbate like you do every night you little faggot teenager.


HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA A HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Whenever I read from Lances comments I feel like I want to shit myself can anyone else relate to that? What foolish stat states that 99% of the world speaks N. American English? You'd like to think that wouldnt you.
by BigDaddy6911111 on Fri Aug 06, 04 2:28pm [+]

Say what you will douche bags. BUT the FACT remains, I'm an American and you turds are limeys and cowardly sissys. Good life queers...suck your queen chuckies dick...or come to America where you would get your ROTTEN chompers SMACKED out of your mouth for being RACE TRAITORS to the muslims!!! we shall NOT FORGET!!! Fuck your mother and father and may they both die of slow stomach cancer or from the realization that they're english! whichever comes first!!! hahahahaha QUEERS!
by xxxxxxxx on Fri Aug 06, 04 11:42pm [+]

Lance- gets burned - again

We have a culture you could only dream of, and history too. And if rotten teeth and saying fuck the queen is really the best you can come up with, i think you have lost this slanging match badly. Mainly because you have shitty American genes with too much fat in them. You are uneducated and you have the brain of a child. Your life is pointless, you are scum. Your parent s WILL die of a heart attack or cancer, mine probably wont. You have less rights than blacks in your country, how does that feel? Imagine how its gona feel when your baby comes out mixed race? Or you have a little black nephew, get ready cos its gona happen muslim hater. Good day to you slave. Oh and as you would say, HA HAHA HA HA H AH AHA HA!
by Doctordraw on Sat Aug 07, 04 2:22am [+]

come over here to America and i'll make you my little bitch! you pasty face little queer, i'd make you toss my salad in no time. go clean the shitty diapers out of princess dead's memorial that they just closed because you filthy people don't know how to behave!!! BWAHHHHHHHHHHaaaa hahahahaha HOMO! ahahahahahahhahahahahaha
by xxxxxxxx on Sat Aug 07, 04 2:48am [+]

Any guesses where your ancestors might have slithered from? Probably impossible to say anything for sure about a bastard found in the gutter. I've travelled all over Europe and never met anybody quite so fucked up, though that may be because we tend to lock up dangerous retards when we find them.

A shit education alone couldn't account for your level of idiocy and hatred, it must be a medical condition. I'd suggest a lobotomy and castration just to make absolutely sure you don't reproduce.
by Heretic on Sat Aug 07, 04 9:03am [+]

Heritic aren't you the person that Anonymous keeps writing about. What the hell happened??
by Evil_Tapioca01 on Fri Oct 01, 04 1:18am [+]

I read all the comments and now I am afraid. Can't we all just get along?
by Evil_Tapioca01 on Sun Oct 24, 04 4:54am [+]

"The world (MAJORITY OF) speaks ans spells English how North Americans do!"

Ever wonder why there's "English" and then there's "American English"?
