Why do You Brit's Say 'Appy Instead of Happy?
 
Well?

SynthethicalY 09.16.2007 11:23 PM

You just couldn't say happy.

and isnt H pronounced Aych anyway :P

racehorse 09.17.2007 02:03 AM

Norma J 09.17.2007 02:51 AM

Because their diction is terrible. We melt words here, but they cut letters out.

The only people who drop their H's are people from the east end of London and the county of Essex (rather ironically, those same people tend to pronounce H as "haitch" instead of "aitch"). If you think that all British people drop their H's, you've obviously been watching too many trashy American sitcoms that beleive that all Britons are Cockneys. Try watching some decent TV for a change.

Anyway, why is there an apostrophe in the word "Brits" in the title of this thread?

Lot's of people's like to add's apostrophe's when they're' looking to pluralize's thing's.

Oi vey - that really bug's me.

I bet Lynne Truss has something to say about that.
