LOL this always pissed me off when I worked at a movie theater that sold these things (For those of you who may care, the generic industry name for these frozen-ice drinks is "Granitas", ours was Country Time/Kool Aid brand heh)....."Red" and "Blue" are COLORS, not FLAVORS! You would have to be EXTREMELY high on acid to ever know what Green tastes like =) Orange being the obvious exception of course
Hmmm...He can't detect my British sense of sarcasm 
I was taking the piss over the fact that no one actually knew what flavour they were, just the colours 
Of course...u could have got the sarcasm and just wanted to add your thoughts...
Thats one of the problem withforums, there aren't many ways to put words into context short of SHOUTING and smileys

To add insult to injury, the most popular dictionary in the U.S., Webster's, has in the past called itself a "dictionary of the American language."

We should organise an 'aid' air drop of 1 million copies of the Oxford Concise

NOOOOO, not Oxford. If we start using that, I won't be able to say "snuck" as the past tense of "sneak" any more.

Hmmm. NE England? I thought that was the North Sea. Although if England is as Londoncentric as I think it is, that's probably near Norwich, which looks southeast on a map of the UK.

"Londoncentric" is as much butchery as I was up for this morning.
Oh, the English are the best spellers I know, but terrible pronouncers, going by the place names.

I travelled there on my vacation at the beginning of the month. I remember this vast space the train went through going from London to Edinburgh. The window blinds were pulled and locked tight and in the car was a map of the UK. This vast space was labelled "Here be Dragons".
