I still say the best Gray is Spalding Gray.

My mom used to always say buggie.

"Jay, move away from the buggie.'

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Inhuman · 01.19.2007, 09:02 AM

Does anyone else use "ay" causally like us canadians? Whenever I meet a friend from another country and I end my sentence with "ay", they think it's funny that we actually use it on a regular basis

i pronounce a lot of my words quite slowly and quite drawn out i.e rrooooaaaadddd and computeeeerrrrr. its just the dialect of where i am from. we also dont pronounce our t's very much.

We call shopping carts "shopping trolleys", and baby strollers we call "pushchairs". And do you know why we do that? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEIR PROPER NAMES ARE!!!!

Pfff. Silly Californian woman.

Inhuman · 01.19.2007, 09:15 AM

I never string sentences together fast enough, so I find myself looking for words a lot in mid sentence

funny thing actually, I added a large amount of space in middle of the sentence,

but it was removed.

Ah now, not entirely true.

There are pushchairs and there are buggies.

Pushchairs tend to be more substantial and often convert from/into a pram.

Buggies are light and more easily transportable (and break a lot easier).

And the word stroller is used amongst the woman at my mothers' coffee mornings, but not as often.

The word is used among women. Women are not as well educated as men, because they have spent their teenage years thinking about Take That and make-up and planning how many babies they are going to have, instead of concentrating in class. Just because a woman says something does not mean it is right.

Downtrodden fool!
