--- Quote from: Front-Ranger on May 08, 2006, 10:17:28 am ---I work for an international company and I have to know how to converse in American English, the King's English, Australian English, and Canadian English (South Africans use the King's English). There are a lot of differences. The U.S. is certainly not the authority in the English language. There are even differences between Western and Eastern Canada! One of the things I really enjoy is conversing on this board with people all over the world. It really helps broaden my perspective (as well as lightening my day--just check out Sheyne's translation of Malaysian subtitles!) It is terrific to chat with BBM lovers in Europe and Australia--that's why I often check out the chat room early in the morning, US Mountain Time, to see if there are any Europeans checking in during their evenings.

This is one of the coolest posts I've read on here in awhile! Who uses King's English besides South Africa? Forgive me, I'm ignorant on the matter.
I'm not badmouthin' anyone, but sweet little ol' me got banned from Davecullen for awhile! They are tough cookies over there.
Also, I'd like to add, I wish Ray would pm me and call me something! I think I get the least amount of Rayluv on this whole board! Alas.
Ray:
Oh Stacey! I feel awful. I really thought I HAD called you LOTS of junk. How could I be so remiss?! I will remedy that this instant.

Yup, I'll second that! As a straight female who just got the Bronze medal in Chez Tremblay's Sexiest Men in the World Poll (nominated BY Ray), I am probably far more justified in being miffed at name calling than anybody else on this board.... :P
TJ, I don't know you, buddy, but I DO know Ray. We live in the same town and we are friends. And I can tell you now, he is an absolutely brilliant, beautiful and amazing person. He calls a spade a ******* shovel and doesn't take garbage. Nor does he tolerate fools gladly. When I first joined IMDb, he thought I was a troll and some of his posts reflected that. Now had I been a wanker about it, he'd STILL be on my ignore list and I would never have found this great place. But being a "newbie", I gave people time to get to know me and accept that I was genuine - my love for BBM was genuine and I wasn't a troll. This took TIME. But I gave it the time it needed and not only do I have an online home and community of fabulous people at my fingertips, I have a great friend who makes me smile, makes me laugh and makes me feel really special.
Why don't you give it some time too?? And Ray is not a queen. Bears don't wear tiaras, right Ray?? ;) ;D
ooooh he's gonna kill me for that crack..... PAYBACK for the Sexiest Man thingy..!!
