That just made my day! & Writer's Block: Misdirected Mail

[sleepingwgods]

I have sent a "boyfriend-girlfriend" forward email to a gay classmate I had in NMH in 2005... I only realised it much later and facepalm'd myself, couldn't email the guy since then for fear he thought I was stupid >__< And I really liked the guy too, I thought he was awesome and a great writer and I'd love for us to keep in touch, but even now as I

Realised should be spelt Realized (with a "z" instead of an "s").

[sleepingwgods]

In England and Europe, we spell it with an 'S'.
Aaand, hello, random person who corrects others without even saying hello.

O___o

[lather2002]

haha. Sorry. "HELLO" :D

Maybe, but that only shows that you guys in England/Europe are hard headed in not correcting yourselves and accepting the proper/right way to spell it. ;)

*And oh, you should refer to England as Great Britain. Unless of course Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland spell it correctly. ;)

Right, Mr. America. Let me tell you two things.
Regardless of how old you are (because I do respect people with more experience and such than me) you are mistaken. First of all, the "correct" way of spelling verbs ending in "-ize", if we're going to stick to the historical facts, is in fact with an 's', since it is the older way of spelling. American spelling was changed on purpose to differentiate itself from British spelling. Second, I have been educated at an American school for six years, and I've been studying language here, in the UK, for the past 3 months, and as such I am adapting to the British ways. I believe there's nothing wrong with it. Occasionally I do spell realise as realize, out of habit really rather than choice. Frankly, I don't care how I spell it. Both ways are correct. If you are too arrogant and proud American to at least accept that in some other part of the world people spell your words differently, then you are too narrow-minded and constricted and I don't even want to waste my time replying to you.

Hello from another random person. :D

Couldn't resist commenting when I read that White Rabbitt guy's comment - so arrogant and so American in that not so good way. Lol... I fully support the British English spelling, it sounds so much better too. (My university native English teachers are all from Britain and I love their accents). :D Besides, wasn't British English before American English anyway? At least the first Americans that spoke English came from Britain... so that should answer the question of which spelling is the "proper" one. ;D

/end of a totally random comment ^^;

[sleepingwgods]

Hi and THANK YOU, that's what I told the guy as well ;)
Ahh the British accents... irresistible but sometimes incomprehensible @__@

[melinen]

That they are. Cockney, for example... that is something that often makes me go "um, what did you say again? o_o". XD But I still like to listen to it. :D And that rhyme... thing (slang? or what was it, can't remember now ^^') they have, that is interesting.

[lather2002]

haha, I Love the British Accent of English Kirls :D I find it so very sexy :D

[sleepingwgods]

Ore-sama does not roleplay, Shishido. He just lets his magnificence flow outwards into the world. ;)

I was just so glad to see he found me haha :D And he's in my uni too, what are the odds? XD
Ahh the Crush. *nod* I've had this HUGE crush on an old classmate of mine, occasionally we comment on each others FBs and I always go (inwardly, of course) I still love youuuuu!! Don't forget meeee!! Lol.

THANK YOUUUU <3 I'm waiting at the Athens airport now for my connect flight to my city. :) Shouldn't be long. ^___^

[aeri_s]

Ahh, that's awkward for emails! Once, I sent something to my (then) boyfriend that was totally awkward. I don't even remember what it was anymore, but it ended up okay 'cause our school email sysetm has an "unsend" function XD

But wowww. It's cool when you find people you've fallen out of touch with XD

And...you're probably gone now and won't reading thsi foa while anywyas XD

[sleepingwgods]

Unsend would be a lifesaver generally speaking ^^ Wish it were there in all email systems ¬_¬

The circumstances of life bring people together continuously, who knows for what purpose? ^^ Haha :)
