If you actually talk to them, you’ll see It’s pronounced Bri’ish. They’ve been hiding their T since that unfortunate incident in Boston Harbor.

So is it pronounced 'orch?

No, Bri’ish, did you not see what they wrote?

Electric torch has kind of a “horseless carriage” feel to it, no?

I regularly drive my horseless carriage to see moving pictures, whenever I receive a coupon via electric mail.

This is how we would talk if English were more like German. Why invent new words when we can just combine old ones? Glove = hand shoe, turtle = shield toad, raccoon = wash bear, etc.

Car is short for carriage

There is nothing more American than telling the english how the english language should work.

The last time I argued this with an American, they correctly claimed that they defeated us in combat and claimed our language as their own, so it’s kinda theirs now. There’s no valid argument against it, so I had to concede defeat.

Their independent part of it is theirs, and the metropolitan isn’t, just like with territory. That’s the way said analogy would work.

You shouldn’t put up with that noise. You guys literally burned our capital to the ground in 1814.

And well we should. Honestly, a “torch?” For the electric light that you could easily flash on and off if you wanted or wave around to flash in someone’s eyes?
WHERE IS THE FIRE, NIGEL?!?!? THERE’S NO FIRE!

Notice how Morn isn’t included. He’d be flooding the group chat with his banter.
