Heh. I've actually gotten points off for using the British spelling on reports and such. I am told it is an "older" spelling. British spelling and accents are cool.

You'd be surprised at how many words you consider to be proper started as slang and lower class... If a word gains wide recognition and understanding in the english language in its nation of use, it is a valid English word.

speaking of English slang, there is a word that starts with an "f" that means "cigarette". That's something you don't go around saying when you're over here in the USA heheh.... XD

Well, I certain didn't expect this to get ressurected.

Bobtheduck takes the words from my mouth... how long is something truly slang?
