All around me every day are people that don't no how to use the English language properly. Every third word is some sort of 4-letter word, or something to the same effect. Can anyone explain why this is?

Dates work by a hierarchical system, days make months, months make years, so it makes sense to write the days first, then the month, then the year. Why would anyone write it month first, then day, then year? It's just stupid.

eg. 13th August 2006 should be:

13/08/2006

not

08/13/2006

The USA, Canada, Philippines and some other tiny places are the only ones to use the mm/dd/yy format.

At the end of Schindler's List in the factory when he asks for a 3 minute silence, one of the Jewish factory workers starts saying what I would think is a prayer. Can anyone tell me for sure what language the Jewish factory worker is speaking?

Even if you get people to repeat things in a foreign language bit by bit, they still have an accent, how is that when they are just repeating sounds?

If you were born in say Birmingham, do you acknowledge yourself as being born British or English? Or would you acknowledge your region and say your were a Brummie?

I'm a Northerner but I always tell people that I'm British born and bred, second to that I go on to say I'm a European. What do think?

Do we have an identity as British, English or something more regional?
