"International" English? 2 cause its more specials. Don't be dissing our currency either, With your Monopoly looking bills. :flamed:
"International" English?
"International" English? Yeah, But I dont see a "English or UK English" as an option. lol. We took credit for the Enigma decoder as well :tongue: :thumbsup:
"International" English? Something else; The letter Z: Americans pronounce it Zee, and everyone else says Zed. And for $: Dont Americans put two lines through it?
"International" English? That'd be the Australian dollar, different from the US dollar. Oz dollar is also worth much less... more like a Pacific Peso
"International" English? Sure dude. While we're at it, let's add an option for every dialect of the English language used in the U.S. We could throw in Texan, Southern, Bostonian, New Yorkian? , Jersian, Californian (like, for sure!), and any other variation different cultures here in the U.S. use. Or... you could just accept the bloody fact that the language choice pertains strictly to the symbols produced by a shift+ keypress, get the frag over it and go on with your life without being retarded and egocentric about it. Edit: Australia uses the dollar, don't they? So they'd pick U.S. English. Even though they're in Australia. Freaky.
"International" English? This is just Fucked up. Personally I reckon there should be a U.K. English and an Aust. English and a whatever english for whatever other country that has English. This just seems like another crackpot scheme to make the U.S. the 'Overlords' of the world. If there is another world war, Aust. and Bra. contol it due to bases in the Amazon Rainforest and the Great Sandy Desert.
"International" English? Yeah umlauts and tildas are always fun to throw on words. Like in Family Guy: [guy whipping a slave]: What is your name? Slave: Toby. But sometimes I like to spell it with an "i," with an accent over the "i" and a little line over the "o" so you know it's a long sound. Sometimes I like to put a smiley face over the "i." Whatever brightens someones day!
"International" English? Ooo. I like those umlots and other squiggly punctuation things that one sees in other languages. Any way I can add those while retaining the U.S. keyboard layout? Symbols, maybe?
"International" English? On my (english) keyboard, shift+4 is a dollar sign, to get a pound sign hit shift+3. I think it's good that they distinguish between the different variants of english, I would hate it if half my spellings were marked as wrong due the whole 'z'ds and s'es thing.
"International" English? US English and UK / Australian English all have different spellings, pronounciations, and some minor grammar differences. Capitalize--US, becomes Capitalise--UK.
