eta: sorry about the size on that mofo.

Yeah, me too. I've used the term myself on many occasions. It isn't like "film" is some rare word nobody uses or something. I feel like it's just a bad attempt to find a reason to mock her.

I imagine Russell Brand smelling like sandalwood and sweat. I imagine Courtney Love smelling like cigarette smoke and b.o., with an undercurrent of bleach.

TOO musky for Courtney Love? That must be very musky.

its not like they're gonna put that information right on the invite and then let the invite be seen publicly. Obviously there's additional information being relayed to people who are actually invited. Why do people keep bringing this up like they discovered some major oversight?

People hating on this invitation for being "too much" must have never planned a wedding before, or just had something super casual.

Maybe she's going bland because the Humphries invites were pretty elaborate. Variety?

I'm British and I must be missing some epic cultural frame of reference here because everything she wrote sounds normal.

I worked in a print shop for over a decade. This is so much better than 90% of wedding invites.

This reminds me of the time when two American exchange students made fun of me for saying 'holiday'. 'Oh, you hear that, she says ho-li-day. She means vacation, haha lolz.' This is when we were all studying at an English college, in England, where the proper English word is holiday.
We also had a 'film society' on…

My snarky-verging-on-bitchy first thought was wow, for a professional writer Dodai doesn't have a very impressive vocabulary.

Well, there you go. "Post Brit Talks Like a Posh Brit."

If Benedict Cumberbatch (for instance) had said these things, or some variation thereon, would this mocking be taking place? I think not. Pippa is English, and *shock* Britons don't use the same turns of phrase as Americans. I don't think Pippa's any more vapid than any other upper crust gadabout, English or American…

Right? The one word here that I would maybe be a teensy bit surprised to hear Pippa actually say is "wacky." But then only mildly. I have no idea what Dodai was going for here, but she missed the mark.

Right? The "characterful" thing was weird, but everything else can be explained by "duh, she's British."

I say "film" (in addition to "movie") and I'm from 'murica. I didn't realize it was strange. :p

"Do people really talk/write like this?"

People really talk about film stars. They see them at the cinema. Britons; they're (English speaking) people too!

Mocking the English for the way they use English seems like kind of a low-probability affair, doesn't it?
