1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
the Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the
Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the Americans.

4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer
heart attacks than the Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and
suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently
what kills you

I would like to point out, very respectfully, that those on this side of the Atlantic Ocean consider that Americans would not recognise the English language if they fell over it.

*Sound of very large can of worms opening.*
Only joking honest .

It seems you've been proved right tonytech. They don't understand a word you say!

(or maybe they have very dry wit. or maybe I'm reading too much into the 'i don't understand' posts )

I know this is a really old post, but I just can't leave something hanging up in the air like this. Sorry if I open the can of worms even more here.

Tonytech is commenting on Americans colourful spelling and pronounciation in their use of the English language. Let me break it down so you understand. In America, the things that are not supposed to be spelt phonetically, are (such a gaol being spelt "jail"); the things that are supposed to be pronounced phonetically, aren't (It's AluminIum in English, not Aluminum).

As always, this phenomena can be captured in a Homer Simpson quote: "Yeah, what do we need English for? We're not going to England".

*also thinks that those who are claiming not to understand are just egging tony on*
