I'm just getting in the practise of typing like that so that in the fall I can mess with my English teachers.

I like the American/New Zealand spellings better, as a matter of fact.

Yes, what what, they call it English for a reason old chap. Pip pip.

Except no-one in England ever talks like that anymore. Its usually:

"Oi'll kick your fookin head in!" <<drunken pub fight>>
