Also I am british too, so will file your stern letter for later review.
(The use of the word "momey" was 'cos it was a quote from scrubs, and it sounds funnier in americanlish)

Excuse me, sir, but that language that we speak is "Americaneese," not "Americanlish." Please, before you post, check your facts.

Americaneese would imply a bastardization of chinese (or possibly cheese) as opposed to a bastardization of english though

NeoThermic

It is a bastardisation of English. However, language names are generally an adjectivization of the nation / geographical region where the language is spoken. English is spoken by people who are (ostensibly) from England. German is spoken by people from Germany. Japanese is spoken by people from Japan. Spainish is spoken by people from Spain. And so on. If we wished to use the "ish" ending to adjectivize "America", then the proper adjective / name of our language should be "Americanish" or possibly "Americish."

Yes, but the language was named after India, which is where people that speak Indian actually come from. More accurately still, the languages that comprise the Indian Language Group originate in India -- there is no one Indian language.

Hehe, i didnt expect u to get that one. Unless you live here you wouldnt have gotten the truth in what ive just said. We are being invaded from the inside out. Sneaky buggers.

Id love to build a christian church in beruit or bagdad or any middle east county to be honest, it would be just the funniest breaking news ever.

England will soon be called Indland. Im sure of it.

yay. xenophobia.....

Seriously dude.. what the hell.
I love going to places like london and enjoy the fact that its so multicultural, I think it helps that we have so much diversity.

But if your not from UK there are some parts of the UK with high indian population, (*ahem*birmingham*cough*) also parts with high afro carribean populations too.

Oh and Christians can go get stuffed, at least the Muslims/Hindus/Seihks/Jews/<insert minority here> actually have dedication to their faith IMHO (this comes from my experiance with english christians and I may be wrong about the bible bashers across the pond). Although COE are funny, according to them, christ was English...




Sorry. Bit of a tangent, and I thing Avenged only meant it as a joke but the attitude really grates me up.

<edit> fixed spelling and made it a bit clearer

Why do you want to build a church in a middle east country? As ar as I know there are quite a lot christians in the middle east.

Birmingham isn't part of the UK?

What church have you been going to? I've never heard CoE claim Christ was English. I did however read a Chruch of LDS book once and learnt they believe Jesus visited America while he was alive, which I always felt was impressive considering no one else (save the American locals) knew the place existed.

I wouldn't be so sure, he's made similar comments that made me think he was racist/xenophobic

I could be wrong on this, but I think the LDS believe that Jebus made his US tour after he died and then un-died.
