Ugh, that sucks. Sorry you guys have to deal with that all the time.

Yeah, so that's already been discussed in some of the other comments. If you read further into the thread, I even comment again:

Can't edit my post anymore, but I would like to amend my statement. Apparently, American publications do the same thing to British people.

I have no problem with people using their own countries/regions spellings and terms for things. That's perfectly normal. Like Gawker Media is based out of New York City, so it makes sense that they use American English. It just annoys me when publications change quotes to fit their own accent. Like someone changing…

Hmm.... I wasn't aware of that. I guess I thought because they leave in certain terms like mum that they were leaving the quotes as is. I find American publications doing it equally annoying. I think it's silly to erase people's different dialects. It's not like Americans don't understand what British people are…

Yes, I mentioned that in my comment as a possibility.

Fair enough. But it was written for children, so maybe it's a bit more excusable, they may have thought American children wouldn't have understood certain words. I do know that they kept in 'mum' though.

In my ballet class, we had to do presentations on a ballet performance of our choice and I chose this solo of hers. It's this grainy-ish video and she's onstage but you can still see all ther leg muscles. Dancers have some damn powerful legs.

As fucked up as raping a woman is, raping a small child is even more fucked up. Crosby is being accused of being a rapist, not a pedophile. He's already terrible, we don't need to make him worse than he is.

They transcribe everything into British English. Even when Americans are speaking. It kind of pisses me off. I don't think American newspapers transcribe what British people say into American English. Because that's not how they talk. If a British person says 'mum', we write 'mum'.

During an episode of the reality show The Surreal Life, Dickinson revealed in-depth information about the emotional abuse she endured as a child and teenager. She stated to her cast mates, "My father was a pedophile. He was a dark, angry guy. Being forced to have a pedophile for a father is probably the most horrible…

Oooooh.... What are they doing to him?

That could be. I was thinking along the lines of Catholics don't support gay marriage or abortions. But maybe it's not that simple.

Bavaria was once it's own country, so your close? There's a lot of tension between the Prussians and the Bavarians. Our cultures are very different and sometimes a little incompatible. Bavarians get pissed at Prussians because they come to Bavaria as tourists a lot and tourists are just generally annoying. And we get…

Excuse me, as a Bavarian, I would like you to know that Bavarian sausages are not gross. Weißwurst and Leberkäse are the only two meat dishes that this vegetarian misses.

As a Bavarian, I can attest to the fact that we are actually just blurs. Bavaria: land of beer, boobs and blurs.

So do you hate read Celebitchy too?

Someone on Jezebel mentioned ages ago that they had a friend who worked on set with Tom and he was really friendly. The friend was just some guy on the crew, so he was really surprised one of the stars even bothered talking to him, but he did and he was really nice and kind of nerdy. The friend appreciated that…

You made him, you keep him. You and Canada, I swear. Always dumping your trash on us. We have more than enough of our own assholes, we don't need yours too
