The Welsh speak Cymraeg, the Scots speak Gàidhlig, the English speak English but there is no such language as British whereas in Spain, Español is automatically assumed to be Castellano. I know exactly what you mean about Euskal and Català and the significant difference is that Euskal is spoken in ...

But which Spanish? In Catalan it's 'to take'.

A question, is there a official english language regulator? I mean, I'm spanish so I speak "spanish from Spain".

Castellano, Català, Galicia or Euskal? ;-)

I know that sounds pretty stupid but the spanish form Spain isn't equal than mexican spanish, argentinian spanish, chilean spanish... in ...

I suggest that we shall have to agree to differ and accept that it is a case of donkeys horses for courses.

I am happy to accept that there is a case to be made for bimbos using the more slovenly terms but I maintain the right to be turned off if a lady of class were to use them and I hope that ...

No need to be afraid! . . . . . International English:- Arse = posterior. Ass = donkey.

As Aleksandr the Meerkat says: "Simples!"

One thing which turns me off is writers using ugly words like cum and ass. What is wrong with the correct terms: come and arse? Even if we don't know our arse from our elbow, we do know our posterior from our dumb equine quadruped and when someone asks me to kiss their donkey it sure does ruin the ...

International English would be a nice compromise and it would be good if writers could avoid ugly words like cum and ass and use the correct terms come and arse. It always makes me giggle when someone asks me to kiss their donkey and that sure does ...

As an impartial "newbie", I have to agree that Nezhul is guilty of that to which he objects.

I shall, however, offer a solution to the lack of spell checking within the editor: use FireFox with the automatic spell checking facility turned on. :-D It won't sort out the differences between there ...
