#1cubeplayer Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Yeah, well, English is a retarded language. I don't know what I'm going to get. I'm not getting my hopes up as my family hasn't been doing too well lately. Dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukkadukka Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Been over this before but I use mom. Makes more sense. Is derived from "mother", and I pronounce it mom. Mum is ye olde fashion that has never changed, at least America got semantics more logical. They cut out all the crap and spell things how they sound. Do we need the "rough" in "through"? Its not pronounced "th-ru-h". I am right, I swear i'm write I swear I knew it all along :P so how do you pronounce mother? mutha, or moh-ther? because if it's the former then it makes more sense to use "mum", and if it's the latter then you're retarded. sorry, i feel like i'm always taking the piss out of you recently *hugs* i'm so sorry!

Mr_Odwin Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Throwing it into the mix, I, along with many Northerners, say 'mam'. Great post, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Odwin Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Can't say I do, I say mum as well. I didn't say all Northerners. Of course there are the odd ones that don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I say ma. And lets all go back to the essence of christmas again: the presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarka Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 It's great fun, the whole Christmas thing. I just got the present I'm giving to my brother in the post, Soul Calibur 3. It's all wrapped up and I'm so excited. Also, I say mam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 I like the struggle to think of a decent present for people - but not the struggle to afford them. I like wrapping presents too, but not being there when others open it - unless they really like it :P I have a list of 15 people to get things for this year, and i've made a very brief list of their names and possibilities... but no purchases yet!

bob Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I like the struggle to think of a decent present for people - but not the struggle to afford them. I'm completely the opposite. I lack the ability to think of good presents for anybody. But i am loaded. Shame. Maybe i'll just give everybody money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yes I say mom because I say mother with the "mo" sound. America may be dumb but England is the bitchy cousin who make themself feel better by bitching about others when in fact a lot of this nation are idiots too. Anyway, think im gonna add GitS:SAC S1 to my list, as I can't think of diddly else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfox Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have no idea what i want. Im guessing Santa will be writing me out a cheque. All my brothers and sisters have had their presents bought for them now. Im just too indesicive. Although - my and my sister have 'adopted' a goat. Basically, and African family will be given a goat (bought with our money), they';; be able to milk it and have a better diet that way. The goat will also be able to fertilise some crops with its droppings and make more little goats. It feels better knowing that a family will be better off this Christmas.
