No it's just something I found on the net

But it would be very appropriate for me.

That's about the neatest thing I've seen. You will have to place your order for one next year.

Yep. I would like a cake like that. It would be cool.

A big heat sink made out of chocolate can go on top. Now that would be sweet. All solid chocolate, and the fan could be made out of candy.

Yes, save the pic and modify it before you place your order!

I like that!

I should have one of the dictionary. (The dictionary is the most sacred book for your information!

)

Is that a compliment?

It has to be the Oxford Dictionary. I stay FAR away from Webster's.... He had this thing for messing up spelling and creating "American English."

Yes, it was a compliment.

American English is here to stay, it seems.

And US standard measurment too...
Or is it... *suspenseful music while squirrel walks at gas bars throughout the US, to "modify" the gas meters, in the dark.*

RED!

You have given me an idea. You and I can "metricate" the US!

We can convert everything during the night.

I think I will also take a RED pen and turn every American spelling into a British one!

We will have to start with children's books. Having a book full of metric measurements and British English will set them in the right direction.

What an injustice!

I do the British spelling and you add all the Canadianisms you want to add!

I have no desire to pollute any dictionary with Southern slang.

YES! That is what we need to do.

Then, you can add your Canadianisms and I can rid America of American Spelling.

I must undo the works of people like Webster!

For everyone wanting to help with my plan, study This Page.

It is a guide on British English. I am still in training on this. (I just found out that the verb "Practice" should be spelt "Practise" in British English.

, but not the noun...)

It is handy because then you won't be telling me that "organisation" is incorrect. It is not, but people have told me that!

I would prefer not to use the term "Nazis".

What is life worth when your language has become ugly and your standard of measurement has become outdated?

Sure, for the early days when internationalisation wasn't here, US Standard was okay, but now in the days of internationalisation, we cannot use that archaeic system anymore!

Ok you two, rave on!

I'm too old to change horses in the middle of the stream!

I'll just give you my temperature in Fahrenheit and you can figure it out, if you want to know.
