Well, I've been thinking, "Americans have a pretty easy way of spelling things" (don't quote me on that). And then I go look at a bunch of british vids on youtube and see that they use o and u to make the or sound. So wats the deal?
It really bothered me what the other user said about them being misspellings. It's like pants can be more than one thing and the word mate has plenty of meanings too.
I love an English accent, but I hate how their so elegant in their talking.
I can't understand this one. I understand it, but how did it come to be? It's basically reverse discrimination in a sense. Maybe it has to do with all of the James Bond films. You hear the accent you think sophisticated spy in a tuxedo or suit with extreme intellect. Just a guess.
