I feel your pain, probably moreso, over here in Oz. I have been told we don't speak "English" here, but "Australian", whatever the hell that is. I have a pair of teacher friends (a married couple) who deliberately taught their daughters to say "haitch" (instead of "aitch") to bug me. When I dutifully berated them, I was told "it doesn't matter as long as they get their point across".RedStormV wrote:It's bad enough they ruin the English language because they're too thick to spell! Obviously no teachers on the bloody Mayflower!
It's creeping in over here too - kids being taught to spell words how they sound!!!!!!
Even bloody teachers can't spell!!!! The tales wor lass tells me re what teachers write on boards, in kids books on displays etc - it's criminal!
What hope have the kids got when their teachers don't know any different?
No No No No No No NO!!!!!!!!!!!

time for my anorak me thinks well the enigma machine was captured by HMS BULLDOG from U110 in early 1941 but the good old americans did capture the short cypher enigma machine in 1944Kitch wrote:
Almost makes me as mad as U571 where the Americans nick an enigma machine without single mention that this occured before the USA joined up late for the war and was performed by the Royal navy
well thats a good idea lolKitch wrote: I'm suprised the decent American folks havent staged a coup and deposed the idiots, bigots and nutters that give the rest of them such a bad rep.
