Linguists and linguistic methods don't care about the concerns of the British or anyone else. You are wrong from a linguistic standard, apparently because you have some sort of grudge against the British.

I was a disaffected 14 year old when Heathers came around in 1988. It was a critical-period imprinting event, to use the psychomological terminology (and I am a phd-waving psychomologician).

That's why I use at least 8 characters including at least one capital letter - not in the first position, one number, and one punctuation mark - not in the last position, and verify that there are no obvious correspondences like 6 = b or 4 = h.

You put a field identifier into your set of items for that field in your archaic mainframe's 1960s programming language and you'll get what you deserve.

There were pictures in my high school yearbook of the massive crowds of Michaels and Michelles. But the accumulated Jennifers could be seen from orbit.

But the Italian uncle who named his brother's daughter Daniece and son Danephew, that's real, right?
