why is it that a lot of english-born speakers don't have a sense of rumor?

Answer 1

A Filipino known as 'Allen',
Once set the UK quite a challenge,
He started a rumour
That we'd lost our humour
Then spilt spelt and spalt with abandon.

Answer 2

Because those speakers that are 'born' in England only spread rumors if they're hooked up to an audio source that includes someone spreading rumors... ;-)

Oh... or did you mean that many native English speakers don't have a sense of humor? Or did you mean those born in England don't have a sense of humor or rumor? If you did, I submit the following for your consideration:

1. I'm a native English speaker (born in a country where English is, ostensibly, the native tongue).
2. I have a sense of humor (It may be quirky, sometimes lame, or even sometimes funny, and it's there).
3. It's my experience that most people have a sense of humor.
4. I've never heard of a sense of rumor.
5. You may want to proofread your question more carefully next time.

Thanks for the opportunity for fun and to try my hand at this sense of humor thing... oh, and the rumor is that a 'lot' of people on this site don't spell check, proofread, or otherwise make their questions or answers readable. It's only a rumor, though... ;-)

Answer 3

The best part of my day is when I get to read the comics in the paper.

Among actors and TV I like Abbott and Costello, the Marx Brothers, the Three Stooges, Charlie Chaplin, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Richard Prior, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Saturday Night Live (with the original Prime Time Players), Benny Hill, and Monty Python - just to name a few.

Musically speaking, I've heard the Doctor Dimento show and wish I could still listen to it.

Answer 4

I don't know. Maybe because many non-English speakers can't pronounce the letter "h" so we don't get their jokes... But that could be a rumor... But since I can't tell I have to show this to my friend in Home and see what he thinks. ;)

Answer 5

That's a loaded question. The unproven premise is "a lot of English-born speakers don't have a sense of humor."

The question is really "Why is something unproven true?"

Answer 6

i did no longer understand that "english-born audio gadget" had problems with spilling issues. I recommend, I drop and occassional drink each now and lower back, yet i does no longer say it grew to become right into a difficulty.

Answer 7

Brits have a sense of humor. It's difficult for Americans to grasp. A lot like private jokes.
They have the same problem with Americans.

Answer 8

Rumors are for people who don't have the facts.
Humor can be used to break tension or to humiliate others. Laughter can be therapeutic.

Answer 9

Now tell me why on earth do I need that in english if I know russian? Think about it.
