EdgarusQPFC Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 "Premium" "Exclusive" "Elite" "Gold" All those meaningless marketing words people use to try and get people to go from say a regular version of something to a pointless more expensive version of something, be it software, flights or just about anything these days. Used to be when you bought anything you just got what you paid for, these days its a barebones version that has had so many features ripped out that it can barely be called functional, just to try and blackmail you into forking over more money for the thing that you thought you were getting in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 That's all Americans then. It's utterly baffling as well. I remember seeing a comedian at a fringe variety show I think from Canada called Craig something, he pronounced it Kreg. His opening line was 'I love being in The UK, it's the only country where the people correct me on the pronunciation of my own name.' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pronunciation of McKay (ma-kae) instead of (mac-eye) pisses me off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I probably post this at this time every year, but... "GET IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!" I know Americans get slagged for not travelling abroad much, but they really should just stay over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The pronunciation of McKay (ma-kae) instead of (mac-eye) pisses me off. This. Whenever I head to Halifax, it's impossible not to hear about the Ma-kae Bridge every ten mins. However, if you call it the Mac-eye Bridge, you'll just be seen as an idiot and/or an arsehole. Calling their chowder a poor man's Cullen Skink doesn't go down well either. That and saying poutine is just chips cheese and gravy which only drunk people eat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 North Americans also don't distinguish between Fraser/Frasier and Frazer/Frazier, pronouncing all of them with a y sound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennboy1978 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Ever been asked where the 'torlet' is? Did you know that there are two places near Glasgow called Murwill and Rurglen? We even have a roll shop that reflects that, on the Champs de Elysee of the southside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
