You Yanks are the ones who spelt it wrong in the first place! :haha:

No we evolved into the correct spelling leaving you old fashioned monarchists behind. For example there is no U in the word color. :yep: :)

Is "Ya" British too? :hmmm:

We also spelled "spelt" wrong. So there.

When I was in the Navy they explained to us that the British drive on the left side of the road because in days of old when swords were the main weapon it was a good idea to have a potential opponent on your right in case things got nasty.

We were also told that Americans drive on the right specifically because the Brits drive on the left.

What if you're left handed?
 

You can see the dilemma regarding mounted battle strategies and traffic flow by not adopting a standard. I don't think the British still fight sword battles while driving. Or do they?:03:

You're right...you don't think. :O:

Nah, we upgraded a while back:

Finally, someone found a legitimate use for the Segway.

Brought to mind:

I understand the Secret Service wrestled the Segway to the ground...

<O>

Well, you get to be my age you pay less attention to the drama.

The OP was apparently upset by something the pres said on TV - was the president lying?

Q. How can you tell if a politician is lying?
A. His mouth is open.

Like the old journalism thumbrule, "Dog bites man is not news, man bites dog IS news". When a politician tells the unvarnished truth or comes up with a practical solution for a real problem that would be news, otherwise it's BS as usual.
