So our transatlantic cousins, who do not seem to be able to spell or speak the English language can understand?

I meant no insult. I noticed I used 'groceries' as opposed to 'shopping' earlier

You're generalizing a bit, aren't you? As an American, I don't believe that I have any difficulties with the English language. I have seen the butchering of the language that I'm sure you are referring to...but that is not a product of being American....only of being ignorant and lazy, a problem I'm sure you folks suffer from on occasion across the pond!

I do americanise my answer i don't know why. I'll find I'm writing, "Hey man" or "dude" or "eew thats gross" which as a londoner I certainly would not normally use on say msn.
You're so right, they can't spell or speak english. For instance:
color, gray, I love math, this smells real good, realize... etc

No never. I spell the way our Queen's English demands.
Our friends across the pond should adapt to us for a change!

No, but sometimes I speak slowly so the chick above me can understand.

Stop it right now! I live for things like "mate" and "colour" and whatever other fantastic little weirdnesses you have to offer that I'm too stupid to think of right now.
