I have lived in England all my life and have never once heard anyone us the word cookie to describe a biscuit. What a crock of shit.
Mainly to point out that you worded your post pretty terribly. I totally care about the cookie argument as well though.What was the actual point of your comment, besides advertising the fact that you entirely missed the point?
And what about the rest? Which either don't make sense, or don't "simplify" the language as Lovecraft said you have done.
Gotten is not longer acceptable in British English for obvious reasons (other than your example of "ill-gotten", which is rarely used anyway.) You continue to use it.
gay ass theme. reeks of Omni
Actually I wouldn't, because it just sounds completely redundant. There's no need for it.-If Americans said "transport" and British said "transportation", you'd just cite it as an example of the laziness of American speakers.
Now, explain to me how it makes sense to append "innit" to the ends of sentences as a general purpose tag question, regardless of person, number, or verb, such as "You sure like listening to The Chasm, innit?"
You listed the use of "gotten" as one of the so-called "alterations" found in American English. Now you're basically arguing that change is acceptable when it involves British English, but not American English. That's moving the goalposts.
These were already covered in a early post where I talked about people who don't know the difference between your/you're, its/it's, their/there/they're and try to use apostrophes to pluralise words. They're stupid and don't count. It's also obviously not proper English anyway.

Argue moar about cookies fuckheadI worded it fine. Not my fault if you're a dense cunt that thinks I said cookie is a term only Americans use.
Play moar shit demos cuntAlso, if you don't care, why are you commenting? Surely you have better shit to do, like listen to severely subpar music etc.
English is the most aesthetically pleasing language in the world and French is second, so it makes sense we would adopt some things to make the master language. American English is vulgar, as evidenced by "gotten" being acceptable.
You guys do know that you have posted enough shitty fucking posts to equal about 5 pages in less than 5 hours? Christ, people.
lso I met another teacher the other day and she had a e^ipi + 1 = 0 tattoo on her wrist! Got my nerd senses tingling.
