As an investment analyst who spent six years working and living in London, I couldn't agree more.  Also they omit the word "the" when talking about a hospital.  "I went to hospital"  ... "okay, neanderthal!"

I'm with Jim Gaffigan on this one:

Its on Hulu, you could borrow my login if needed.  Only problem i just pulled up first episode and has a warning "intended for mature audiances."  Now given there are no mature posters on these hear boards you should probably not watch it. :(

I do so enjoy Americans lecturing the English on how to properly speak their own language. This thread is golds.

The nurse in my doctor's office, who is from the Philippines, calls lab work "lab works." Hope this helps the discussion.

My favorite way to tweak a Brit is to let them know soccer is a British term. Gets them every time.

Don’t know about you losers, but in NJ we call it states.  Sparksy just taking it a step farther.

So how many states yous got in the Jerseys?

I used to question Shane's persona as maybe being too over-the-top.

But now that I've gotten used to him, I like his work! Wrestling can benefit from a little extra jolt from Sparky.

CKLV tomorrow... pitter patter, let's get at 'er!

SS (Shane Sparks) adds the serpent's sibilant "S" to make it sound more sweet or sexy or seductive ... and to add more frenZy or fiZZ or Zip.

(The "S" is often a wanna-be "Z")

He's a dyed-in-the-wool enthusiast, a word whose etymology means "be inspired or possessed by a god".  

SPARK-ZZZZZY SPEAKS with PIZZAZZZZ.

It's Shane States.

... this was a new low on the wrestling-complainer level, even for the (nearly) 20 years I've been reading this board. 

[madcat11 436]

So we're all in agreement that we like the guy, but we're going to band together and refer to him as Shane Spark from here out?  Sounds good to me.

It's similar to "I won states", or I'm going to Districts, Sectionals, Regionals.....how many can you go to at one time????

We've been training hard in the off-season. It won't be easy, but we've got motivation. I'm confident we can go lower.
