Rapping tosh and bollocks, spelling cheque and colour wrongly pronouncing tomato and drinking too much coffee, an attack would take them by suprise and we could nick all thier assets and the survivors could be our slaves in coal mines or summet.

Personally I spell colour and cheque correctly and prefer tea.
I am also a Arizona cowboy that has lived on ranches most of my life.
I think,the UK should do just that and launch their missiles. Even unawares the retribution would be devastating besides we need workers for our uranium mines.
Haven't you heard of global warming?
Yes please launch missiles. The world would be better place.

An interesting scenario. I suspect that something unpleasant would happen to the UK, though. Wouldn't it be huge if indeed you knocked the USA out, but found yourselves fighting The Battle of Britain II against the Russians, or better yet, newly emerged Germans? Don't worry, declining Russian verbs isn't THAT difficult, as your "proper English" would doubtless no longer be applicable. And if it is the Germans, you'll be pleased to know that "proper English" is but a dialect of German. I'd like to compliment you and all your citizens of similar imaginings on the fine English love of humanity and tolerance of other nations. What's the name of the new queen? Does Queen Elizabeth II know yet that she was usurped by the imagination of a flesh and blood manifestation of a pint of ale too many burp? Have a nice day, maite!

Hrm. That depends on what you'll tolerate and what you'll bomb. American English was sort of reinvented from British English and some of the confusing and vestigial aspects were simplified or removed. One of the most common examples: tre versus ter. It's pronounced "ter" in modern English, but historically spelt "tre." I would not condone wiping people out for wanting a less confusing English.

It's not like the UKers speak pristine 1600s Middle English anyhow. There's a scholarly consensus that more Elizabethan Middle English is preserved in several American dialects than modern British English. (But there's no group that speaks it in full preserved state--that claim is a myth.)

If, however, you wish to remove the ganstas and rappers, BE MY GUEST. PLEASE.

My feeling is that our spelling of check and color are superior to your own. Tea is an insipid beverage whereas coffee is a rich and hearty noble brew: A beverage of the gods. And tomatos originated in our hemisphere so we can call them whatever we damn well feel like.
As for rap and gangsta, yes, you do have a point. It is awful beyond all measure of awfulness and should indeed be a Just cause for war. Feel free to launch, we deserve nuclear annihilation for our crimes against culture.

Unfortunately, the U.S. public school systems (and parents) have done such a rotten job of teaching our children that few of them even know how to spell correctly. They use terrible grammer, they can't speak a second language, and many of them are totally unprepared for higher education.

Unfortunately, people in many areas of the United States are also too bigoted to allow school vouchers so that parents who want to send their children to good faith-based schools, for a better education, can afford to do so. My own Catholic high school has, for over half a century, made it possible for many young men, regardless of faith or ethnicity, to get a first-rate education. This is largely funded through the generosity of the alumni.

TROLL ALERT BY A STUPID LITTLE KID.

British Coal mines are virtually bankrupt, so your posts are as dumb as ever, by rhe way you misspelt thier its spelt their.

Just where do you think you are going to get the soldiers to round up the prisoners??

Last time I checked the Labour Party was cutting the British Military even smaller in size to save money to use in educating moronic dumb British kids.

You know as a Brit living in the USA now, it could be argued that I am saying the words incorrectly! - with using British English!

Most Americans who know me now know the 'British English words/terms', but sometimes it fun using a lot of English slang and sometimes they have not got a clue what you are saying!

*Slang is the use of highly informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker's dialect or language. Slang is often highly regional, specific to a particular territory.

With your atrociously poor understanding of comma rules, I'll assume that you are planning on shooting yourself as well for your own violations of the Queen's English. Furthermore, "wrong" is not a verb, so you should not make it one. Oh, and one last thing: "Queen's" is a possessive (apostrophe) and unique (not a lower case q).

You're welcome for my ensuring that you don't continue in hypocrisy.
