and with new anti-smoking laws in many countries the other type of machine is also a thing of the past.
These days little choice except to find a shop that has fags (you'd think that would be easy, but actually it's not.)

As a single coutry you may have more people, but outside of Merka there are more people speaking proper English and spelling words with the U in them.
Merkan English is like Catholic Priest sex, an abomination and embarrassing.

Hardly a comment worth listening to from someone dwelling in a place who's pretense at speaking 'english' is is to language as the French are to military prowess and planning.

Please, Straya is where all the various pretend deities wish to live. Funny how Merkan military historians admit that without the French forces working along side the Yanks against the English you would have been smashed. Out numbered, out gunned and just not p to it. Besides fighting with you in Merka they fought England in and around Europe keeping the forces that would have been brought to bare away.
My analogy wins, your butchered language is like two poofs bum rooting to make babies. Not right.

The comment to which this responds ("poof" bum) and your prior comment ("Catholic Priest sex, an abomination and embarrassing." makes all of us realize the awful truth:
Such obsessions supply the proof that you've been "down under" far too long - both literally and figuratively.

It's for your own good. Accept British supremacy. Or start speaking like Russel Peters' dad.

Actually, the colonial dialects came from Britain. Even though many of these regional dialects and vocabulary fell out of use in Britain, many remain current in the former colonies.

It reminds me of an occasion in New York.
I was out with some Mercans having a beer. I had a pint pot in one hand and the waitress bought over the next round so I had a beer in each hand.
One of the Mercans turned to me and said "Hey, looks like you're double-fisting!"

It doesn't have to be British verses American; it can be regional within North America.
In Canada, a toboggan in a long wooden sled used on snowy hills; in the Southern states, its a winter hat.

Very true. Just like "Moose Head". In the US it's a beer. In Canada it's a felony.

In British English the colloquial and perfectly acceptable way, in the 1970's and before, to ask if you you could have a cigarette from a friend was "Can I bum a fag?"

Or as an American would say, "My Grandma is FULL of spunk!"
Yeah, really, do I need to know that?
