OT - Forum Decorum

[Saxon]

You think internet slang is bad, imagine poor Canadian me dealing with heavy English accents and Cockney rhyming slang when I spent a year in the UK! I went on a blind date with a Geordie lass and we literally could not understand each other. It was more of a blind and deaf date. As someone said, North America and the UK are two cultures, divided by a common language.
