This has been my desk since febuary and I even made this screen back then to post on forums. Dunno why I never posted it here, though.

"February" has a silent r there.  It's an odd word.
red chamber dream
the worst part is that it originally wasn't silent and is still defined as such in many dictionaries. oh well.

I've always pronounced the 'R'.  We all differ again, it seems. Very Happy  This is very similar to library, in which I pronounce the 'R's, but frequently hear it pronounced as Li-bree.
red chamber dream
wild. never heard that in my entire life.

I think the Li-bree is more of a Brit thing.  Libree book, Libree card. laugh new

I've heard February pronounced both ways, but I've never heard of the Libree thing :P
i hear february pronounced that way sometimes when people are spelling it. same way people say "wed-nes-day" when they're spelling wednesday.

Thanks, i had a feeling I was wrong there.

Literally changed letters on that word a dozen times. >:(

I always see people like Ryu speaking a second language so fluently, and it makes me realise just how ignorant British people are, because hardly anybody speaks anything but their version of English. aiwebs_027
certainly the world would be a better place if everyone spoke my version of english.

Well, it's not like the majority brits have much of a reason to know more than their own language. Also considering it's the most widespread language on the planet, you are pretty much forced into contact with it as long as you have connections to modern technology. That's why you see many foreign people speaking good english on the internet.

For the most part, I agree, but I think from my side of things I see it as more of an attitude thing.  Most Brits make no effort at all, even when on a foreign holiday, which I think is disgraceful.  On my recent trip to Greece I found this particularly prevalent.  All of the locals had even begun catering for it, providing football, fry-ups, and all sorts.  I even had one guy, when we were walking through the main town on the island, approach us and say "All right geezer?  'ow you doin'?", and he explained (after I cringed, and laughingly said "You can't say that; you're Greek") that it was what most of the visitors he saw wanted to hear.  Shocking.

Like I say, hoping everyone will speak English is OK, but expecting them to / assuming they should is very ignorant.

wonder how he could tell you were english and it was ok to call you a geezer. means something pretty different over here.
I always knew 'geezer' to be derogatory slang for an old person.


I take it it's obvious I don't like clutter. ;)

'Geezer' is used almost exclusively in London, and is part of the hard-to-understand slang.  I guess the closets thing to you guys would be something like 'sup, dude / bro'.  Either way, nobody with two brain cells to rub together would say it. Razz

Also, I couldn't find a decent wallpaer for the game, so I used my onethreethreeseven skills to add text to this image instead:
