Funny Language
I was watching Eddie Izzard, who's a British transvestite comedian (such things exist!?), who's from northern England judging from his accent, YES English people people have different accents. He sounds almost exactly like my ex, so I figured he's from that area. Anyway, he was doing a bit on language and how English and American are different and he went through a few words:

In America you say A-lu-men-num, we say Al-u-min-ni-um.
You say con-tref-fe-gul, we say con-tra-fuu-gal.
You say urb, we say hurb, because there's a fucking H in it.
But you spell through, T-H-R-U, and I'm with you on that. We spell it with all those letters, which is like cheating in Scrabble.
(Then he went into this skit about two guys talking about the word THROUGH)
- We need an "OOOO" sound, lets use a U.
- And an O!
- An O?
- Yes an O.... and a G!
- A G?
- Yes, a silent guh sound. Incase there's a mistake!
- Uh, ok...
- And and H!
- Fuckin A!
- Yes Yes, an H... just incase any HERBS come along..... and a Q and an N and a Zed (That's a Z for those of you who don't know). Look a word in Scrabble that 240 points!


That was probably some of the funniest stuff I've heard. It's probably be better if you heard and seen his face... and just imagine it in an English accent. Then he preceeded to do the rest of his act in French which was funny too.
