The Scots have their own language already though Razz

So do the Welsh and Irish, Americans changed our language, what the other 3 done was that they simply took words from their original language and used it in english, the americans just made their words up, or got lazy and started mising out letters (letter u for example) and using other letters (z is at the end of the alphabet for a reason Razz

) for no apparent reason.

and as for the American revolution, 230 odd years ago is ancient history to the Americans but only yesterday for proper countries that have thousands of years of history. Also a college isn't the same thing as a university. so saying you majored in math(s) in college here is like saying you were in the remedial class. i had to do 2 years in college to qualify to get into university.

whats the difference between a university and a college. to mee they are the same thing. As for making z's more popular maybe you should just use them more Razz

. And which countries have thousands of years of history. England has like 942 years or so of history.

I'm at both a college and a university, and they are not the same thing. And MidniteXpress, how much history do you think our nation actually has? It's not even that long...

by **rastari** on Wed Dec 03, 2008 12:48 am

it's defiantly over a thousand and i think the Americans just call universities college because there in high school till eighteen and if we should use the letter z more then maybe you should use the letter u more? although i think we might need to agree to disagree on that one

Rastari: Our country as we know is it roughly 50 years old...

lol..if u take Britain...its goes ALL THE WAY BACK to the Romans, when they first invaded, we were a bunch if crazy druids back then, but still, we were living there=p before it was called Britannia by the Romans, and basically that was the first time Europe/Britain met=p so i guess our history starts there

oh and yea...the difference between college and university is this...

School/high school/college/university

thats how we get our education here in the order ooh and also..its free till university too=p(depending on ur family income)

First Roman Invasion: 55 BC
Roman Conquest: 43 AD
Retreat of the Legions: 410 AD
Unifcation of Scotland: 843 AD
Unification of England: 927 AD
Norman Conquest: 1066 AD
Laws in Wales Acts: 1542 AD
Personal Union: 1603 AD
First Act of Union: 1707 AD
Second Act of Union: 1801 AD
Irish Free State: 1921 AD

The very very minimum age for the UK then 87 years, and you can count British history all the way back to the Roman Invasion giving you over 2000 years.

Austrlians are cool because they're just like us, but with accents and kangaroos- they went down to Australia and said to the natives, "Hey, we were kicked out of the UK, so we're going to crash here for a while. Also gtfo."

Except they're socialists, which isn't cool, but they have deserts, so they have that going for them.
