"Dave Plowman = Criminal Scumbag "


** Then there is the use of the SAME word used as a verb or adjective:

Egs: " service technician ", " service workshop " and the phrase
"sales and service" in relation to electronic goods - all of which are
widely used in the UK.

Just because they are widely used doesn't make that use right.

So we can add math to the things you don't understand?

Isn't it nice being lectured on the use of English by a potty mouthed
colonial?

Don, Dave and David are correct.

Strange isn't it, that it's always so called English speakers that are
not English, that think they know better than the English at English.

Let's face it guys. The so-called English language is itself a hybrid of
European languages, some long dead. Nothing pure or well-defined about
it.

You left out all the other inputs to the hybrid. e.g. from the Indian
subcontinental languages. :-)

Slainte,

Jim

The idea that 70 million people in the UK are going to define how English
is used by 300 million people in the US can be easily dismissed. We won our
wars of independence from you (at least 3) and never seriously looked back.
Then we saved your sweet selves from your own folly at least twice. And you
want to teach us what???? ;-)

You won? The American war of independence war was fought between
Britain and France - you Americans were barely involved.

And as for the "we saved you" nonsense, no, that won't do at all. The
USA joined both wars on its own terms, and for its own reasons.
"Saving" us was not one of them.

And finally, it is Australian usage, not American that is under
discussion here.

That's part of the "American myth", the idea that the USA was the cavalry
rushing in to save Europe from the Nazis. It is, of course, bunkum.

To be fair I think it was *one* of them. But principally the USA joined WW2
(almost 2 years late!) because it was, itself, under attack.

Maybe the Americans also say "service" when they mean "repair"? Come to that
what's wrong with the good old-fashioned word "mend"?

Mend, fix, make good, set it right, all of them perfectly good
synonyms.

Of course your account is bunkum, because we didn't rush, we acted
deliberately. In the case of WW1 we dragged our feet until they were red and
bleeding. In the case of WW2, we again were dragged kicking and screaming
into the European part of the war.

And, we didn't save you. We helped you save yourself.

The USA joined both wars on its own terms, and for its own reasons.

That comes with being a sovereign nation. In context, a truism.

If we wouldn't have jumped into either war, much of Europe would be under
German control, which seems to have happened anyway... ;-)

Yup, and similar logic shows that there was no holocaust. ;-)

The event that tipped the scales was that were under direct attack by Japan
in several places in the Pacific. Then, for some reason Hitler declared war
on us.

I don't understand your use of the word "wouldn't" in this context. It
is a conditional without benefit of a condition. Do you mean "if we
hadn't"?
