*grins* *sighs, puts head in arms, and slumps down in a dark corner at a table sipping coffee...* [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Downunnda, No worries. You have passed the language test and are now an honorary Texan. You are entitled to an armadillo to put in the pouch of the closest kangaroo. Caleathis; I suggest that you retire to the nearest chesterfield to recover from the uncivilized provincialisms of another ungrateful colonist. As regards your reference to the mother tongue: at least I didn't say (or think) "YOUR MUTTHA!".

Downunda, My appologies for misspelling your name and making the kangaroo comment. I didn't notice the New Zealand tag. I don't know if you have kangaroos or not. If I'm right there ARE stars on your flag and you don't have snakes. (The vistas of my ignorance! What a very large view.)

Calaethis Dragonsbane · 10-22-2002, 05:20 PM

HUH?! I'm ENGLISH! Born and bred! lol. So English IS the mother tounge to me! Not your American "version" of it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

antryg · 10-22-2002, 05:29 PM

Don't I even get points for knowing what a chesterfield is? And for your information Texan is it's own language, native to the sovereign Republic of Texas from the 1820's. Any resembelance between American English and Texan is a result of carpetbagger's stealing everything, including the language, during Reconstruction.

Calaethis Dragonsbane · 10-22-2002, 05:32 PM

*eyes glaze over* Sorry, I'm just tired. lol, erm, so "Texan" is a language all by itself? hmm, I'll have to remember that one...
