but as its our language (speaking as an english speaking englishman) were allowed to have odd contradicting rules ;)
Theres 2 different types of English, the first is the bowler hat version that the whole world thinks the entire nation talks in... "What hoe, I'm taking my tea on the veranda, jolly good old chap" poncey crap.
Then theres proper English, accented to the hilt, full of slang and missing or changed letters in the pronunciation...
Thats real English! ;)
