True that brother.

This is juice:

Correct - having gone through the juicing process to end up as juice. Seen above.

This is not:
Wikipedia in wir ain leid! - Page 2 Irn-bru

Also correct. Having originally been water, then carbonated & flavoured. If that's juice, what would you have to start the juicing process with to end up with that as your final product?

Nothing against Irn Bru by the way, it's a tasty alternative to the king of sodas (for you Travis Wink

) Dr Pepper.

dr pepper is alright.

i like cherry coke.

The one thing I hate only slightly less than people saying "pacific" when they mean "specific", is people saying "aks" instead of "ask". I could kill a man for saying aks.

''HOW?''

by its troff Thu 13 Jan 2011 - 23:53

*copy*
*paste*

The word "ask" actually derives from the Old English verb "acsian," and in the 1700's when America was colonised, some of the new inhabitants brought that pronunciation with them. By 1953, "aks/ax" no longer existed north of the Mason-Dixon line and was (and still is) considered a characteristic of the Southern American dialect of English.

The thing is, Nobody....repeat NOBODY speaks welsh in South Wales...
...and I dont think there is anyone in wales, who doesnt speak English...
...yet the road signs....the Welsh translation is always above the English...
Political Correctnes....etc.

It is a relief sometimes to go to a cashpoint in England to not have the "Select language, Cymraeg or English" before typing your pin in.

by its troff Mon 16 May 2011 - 23:09

I'm sure its less political correctness and more encouraging the understanding and use of it.
