Good grief. In the booklet to Anathema's latest album I've just seen the line: "glad to see your wide awake". It will be hard to like this album now.

Ooh, there's another one: "alot". A lot of native English speakers do that, and even one teacher at my junior school did it. We actually taught her the proper way of writing it, it was quite bizarre at the time. Gods, we got cocky that year.

Others that are supposed to be two words:

no one
every day (unless used as an adjective: everyday occurrence)
under way

What i hate with french people is when they.... nah, nobody else would know what I'm talking about! XD

Legende: You never fail to crack me up dude

 

[Legende]

lol english people crack me up as well when I spend evenings with some... heh but they always end up yelling "ok, shut up... stop taking the piss about us now!!"


Hey do you know what's even funnier with french people? They think they are the best but when in front of english or americans, they shut up and try to babble their weak english... that is really fucking hilarious with a porno movie accent! And when at a table with the yanks or brits making fun of them talking faster and saying bullshit, the cheesers just stay like...

lol we're so badass!

if you actually care ( ) that´s where the "victory sign" (you know, holding up your index+long finger) comes from; the english bowmen showing you french people that they still had their fingers left since you thought it was quite a nice idea to cut them off back then.

can you really shoot with bow and arrow? Cuz I can

I can, I can, I can! :hotjump:
or, well, could...
