As a selectively pedantic increasingly erratic blogger from Leicester and living  within the borders of the shires, i’m going to impart some unwanted advice to my American friends who insist on spelling words incorrectly, due to a) laziness, or b) an irrefutable belief that they are right, for example flavour is spelt as seen, not as flavor, which is quite obviously the work of a panicked mind unable to take stock, sit down and think about things, since when is a period a full stop, or a sidewalk a pavement, the word side walk seems to  indicate the dominance off the road as being paramount as we have to walk to the side. This is probably sensible but since when did driving pip walking to the position of having more places to perform the activity? I put it to you sirs and madams that walking is possible in many more places than driving globally, and thus “the road” as you call it should be renamed the side drive. We here in the British isles will still call the road the road and the pavement the pavement, as to diminish the singularity of either would be to bring down the rule of law. But by all means astonish your American friends by calling the so called sidewalk the pavement and see how much you rise in their estimation of you all. Let’s get the Britification of America done. 

I think it’s for the good of us all. 

In other news, not much happened today apart from some old lunatics with tiny penises trying to divide up a country’s minerals and assets between each other without that country being asked what they thought. Which sounds a lot like some sort of barely cloaked colonialism.

You call him Trump, we call it a Fart.
