I'd like to thank the OP for creating an Off-Topic masterpiece. We've gone from flags to Puerto Rico to the Boston Tea Party to American Politics. I'm sure I'm leaving out a few topics, but hey man...grats!

As for Hilary....I'd rather vote for a sack of dung than anyone the Democrats push forward.

Next topic for this thread:

What do you put on YOUR nachos?

Actually American English IS it's own language in as much as there are two different version of the spanish language (not 2 different dialects, 2 different languages called Spanish). There is Castillian Spanish which is what they teach in school, and is actually spoken in Spain (but not really in Mexico or South America that much) and the South American Version (which I have zero clue what they call it but is spoken in most of Central and South America). Two different languages called spanish, both with it's same roots. And there are actually SEVERAL languages that actually have 2 different specific forms of the language depending on the side of the pond.

Case in point in Brazil (they don't speak Spanish there by the way so whomever brought it up might want to take some language classes and learn some about the world too) they speak Brazillian Portuguese which is it's own language related to but seperate from the original Portuguese. The difference being: second person verbal forms are seldom used, pronunciation is different, the word order is more flexible in Brazilian Portuguese, and some differences in the spelling.

So get used to it, yes American English is it's own language, just as there is an American form of Spanish seperate from Castellian, or a Brazillian form of Portuguese seperate from the original Portuguese.

Bottom Line - this is not a Major Bug! And if the devs spend one second on this instead of optimizing the game they are stupid!

I'm sorry Tashan, but the new topic is clearly nachos. Now if we're discussing Brazilian Nachos vs English Nachos then your reply is valid. But only if the chips on the English Nachos are produced from Chilian factories, but have workers from Portugal.

WEll yeah, I was just saying all that to because I hate misinformation . Personalyl I could care less, hell they could do a flag divided diagonally with the American on the left and the union jack on the right for all I care.

And NAchos I have no opinion on... Long as it doesn't kill me and tastes decent I'll pretty much eat anything.

Puerto Rico isn't as much a part of the US as Missouri because Puerto Rico doesn't have senators or state representatives...there you go, no more arguments on that.

Now..I don't see why the stabs at Leftists. We didn't support the worst president in American history and we aren't the ones who want to kill Iraqi's, prevent freedom for women to choose if they want an abortion or not, we aren't against gay marriage...it seems like we're the better party eh?

LOL - no - everything you posted shows that you are clearly not. LOL - it is hilarious to see the comment above and read it out loud. The cluelessness....

Territories do not get representation in Congress. Read the Constitution some time.

I'm against government in marriage, abortion is murder since it deprives a sentient distinct individual of the right to life and liberty, and both parties are communists that should be lined up and shot for treason.

Lol, QFT. As a verbose storytelling redneck Southerner, I was extremely surprised to notice how many conversations in California consisted of exactly this dialogue. Very interesting I thought the Big Lebowski was a myth!

There seems to be a major bug. Where the language is stated someone seems to have accidentally put an American flag there to indicate the language of the servers. As I am sure you are all well aware there is no such language as American. Please can this be corrected to use the correct flag to designate the language of the servers.

The options are :

The Union Jack - http://www.bikerflags.com/UnitedKingdomFlag.JPG

or

The St Georges Cross - http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/engflag.jpg

I understand how errors like this can be made at such a busy time and hope that this major bug is corrected as soon as possible. Thank you very much .

are you for real?? you really got offended by a flag symbol? next are you going to tell me that because amish speak a different language they should have their own flag?

If you can't see the humour in the way I worded the original post I guess you are doomed. It is just standard humour. I still stand by what I said in that American English is a dialect of English. Nothing has changed my mind on that score. I'll argue about it too if you really want but the fact still remains that the original post was posted in a humours light. Hence the smilie near the end of it.

So, what does this mean to Commonwealths like Virignia and Pennsylvania?

[Kerrik]

English is merely an amalgam of Anglian, Old Celtic, Old Norse, Old French and Proto-germanic, with some Latin thrown in for good measure.

Modern Queen's English and bastardized American English are mere ripoffs of these 1000 year dead languages!
