Nebelstern Lord Jagged To make it fit with there way of spelling it would have to be spelt oberjeen. I suppose that they would just use some ridiculous abbreviation for it like "jeeny". Just like how they took the humble sausage and called it a "wiener". How much longer will they steal our language, corrupt it and then say they speak english? stressed That is the whole reason for the dictionaries.

When I went to France. I saw a French <---> English dictionary. Then I saw a French <---> American dictionary.
I was astounded. We took pictures of them. I bought a French <---> Japanese dictionary. Though I don't understand either of them fully.

In their strange language, wanker means p***s. Knickers don't exist, blokes dont exist, likewise slags. However they are all slags if they dont have knickers. They call trousers pants and the date is the wrong way around, for them it's the 5th of october today.

Well, all I can really say is, we are what we are. take it or leave it. to be perfectly honest, I'd leave it too...
I don't like American humour.

Wow.... I read some of that English <--> American dictionary, and I already use a lot of the English terms. For example, I use bugger, bloody, and botch, as well as many others. I can't really comprehend that most Americans are unfamiliar with these terms.
