Writing Article: American and British English

posted by ZekiYuro

If you've learnt British English and you're travelling in the States,or if you've learnt American English and you're travelling in Britain,you'll notice some differences.An obvious difference is the accent,but most travellers find that they don't have too many problems with this.There are some grammatical differences,but they shoudn't make it difficult to understand people,or to communicate.That leaves differences in vocabulary,which can cause misunderstandings.Sometimes the difference is only the spelling,for example,in British English 'center','colour',and 'travelled',and in American English 'centre','color',and 'traveled'.But sometimes the word is completely different in British and American English,and it's good idea to be prepared.

ShadowYJ Well duh, it may be english-but the grammar is different. I know both-but since i'm in australia, we have to use british english. But i say American english is easier for me-i learned british english later on.

Zero_Delta You got center and centre mixed up...

DramaQueen1020 In British English it's "Theatre" and in American it's "Theater"

darkling_menace ive got a question. If British people call fries 'chips' then what do they call chips?

ZekiYuro Hehe actually I don't know...Although I am learning British English-I just want to improve my stupid grammar and listening

Aqua_Rose darkling_menace, chips are what we have with our dinner, crisps are what we have in a packet in flavours such as cheese and onion, if that's what you meant.

The Best dag Of My Life (1 of Them)

I was at my uncle's house, waiting for my mom to come back. She was picking up my siblings from school. I was 4 yours old at the time. I was in my uncle's bedroom, as usual. And I was talking to him, as usual.

"Will, who's stuffed animals are on the bed?" I asked curiously. Of course that was a stupid question, but remember I was just a little girl. And I wasn't the brightest one eithier. My uncle spun around in his spinning chair and looked at me. "Mine. Why?" he had the nerve to ask. My uncle was the type of man that would give u the world if he could....

posted by twilight_23

This is a persuasive essay I had to write for my English class, I geplaatst a forum asking for opinions on addressing the reader. I know it's a dangerous thing to do, but I thought it would be okay to do here. Opinions are great, I would love to here anything u have to say. Also, if I made any mistakes (i.e. spelling, grammar, puncuation) please point them out so I can fix them, thanks:D

Do u remember that feeling you'd get on the last dag of school? Remember how excited you'd be to finally get to do those summer things like ride bikes with your friends, stay up all night planning pranks, and...

Rping and Writing

posted by axemnas

Role playing of Rping as most of the community calls it. Almost everyone's done it one way of another whether they realize it of not. Remember those days when you'd pretend u were a movie character of a prince/princess of a pirate of whatever. u were role playing in a since. Now days when u hear the word role playing u probably think things like War Craft, ster Craft, Nights and Dragons, Toontown, etc..
Something you've probably never figured however, is rping in relation to writing. Writing, that's all rping basically is. It's just writing a collaborative story from different points...

The Difficult Decision (Poem)

posted by Insight357

I hate you

But I just can’t seem to break you

Do I want u here?

Do I want u gone?

Everyone says your such a tease

But not to me

Are u real?

Are u fake?

Do I need to be

With this drama queen

u spout lies

No truth to be found

Why am I still

Trying to see the good in you?

Is it worth it?

Should I listen to them?

They tell me to go

Before I’m a victim

Of u mighty undoing

I won’t fall

I’ve made a promise

Can I keep it?

Will I leave?

Will I remain?

Promises

Sins

They all appear

The same

Lies

Sentences

Preach the

Difference

I’m listening to you

I can’t break you

I’m falling now

No one to catch me

Do I leave now

That I’ve fallen

Are u worth my time?

Am I worth this pain?

God, help me choose

For this is not my decision

Any longer

I’ve put my faith in my despair

Now toon me the answer

Tell me what to do

Do I stay

of do I leave you?

Save Me Ch. 1

"Alessandra, u have two minuten to get down here!" Dad shouted from downstairs. I quickly pulled on my ratty old converse, not bothering to tie them. I ran downstairs, probably just making it to the two minuut mark. Dad folded his arms, probably upset that I'd made it in time.

"You're going to be late," he said. "You'd better get your ezel out of here." I grabbed my bag off the chair, and grabbed a candy bar from the pantry. Just as I got out the door, he grabbed a fistful of my hair, yanking it back. I yelped as my head jerked backwards, and I fell back into the house.

Ring, ring. “Hello”? ”Hannah I need u to come to my lab today”! “Doc”? but I thought”
…” I know, I’ve been working on something and I need your help”. “OK nice to talk to u again…bye”. In excitement I jumped out of my chair and put my best clothes on. Wondering what Doc was up to? I haven’t seen him in over a year, now that it’s the summer I finally have something to do. I raced down to Doc’s lab. The door creaked as I opened then I knew I was at the right place! “Hello” I zei softly, “anyone here”? “Ah here u are I haven’t seen u in awhile...

The Little Town With A Dark Secret

Of course, unlucky as she was, Lara Binks, reporter for the "Sunnydale News, got caught in a rainstorm.
And, since getting stuck in a rainstorm wasn't bad enough, it also happened when she was stuck on a rather revolting public bus, which had lint and dead bugs littering the stained carpet and torn chairs.
If that wasn't bad enough, she and the odd-looking passengers were travelling across a dirt road in the middle of nowhere.
Worse yet, Lara had to get a story into the office in three days, and there was no longer any way this was possible, since the bus driver had announced they were stopping...

I woke up. The director came in and yelled at me to get out of bed. I sighed. I knew, this was, another dag in showbiz. Showbiz was, at first, a very interesting and exciting activity to take on. It was much meer serious than I thought it would be, and a lot less fun. I was Syria, the main protagonist in the story. My real name is Stace, for those of u who don't know. I could be a trouble-maker in the play, but I couldn't be rambunctious and cause trouble for the crew.
People confused me most of the time. Especially adults. I could be trouble-making in the play, but I couldn't be rambunctious...

I stood at his grave. The people had finally cleared out. Now it was only me and him. I bit my lip, there would be no meer tears. He didn’t want that. I sat down, and went into the depths of my mind.

I still remember the last kiss we shared. We had been in the forest on the far side of town. He pinned me against a tree, and crashed his lips to mine. Our lips moved so perfectly together. My tongue flicked out and ran along his bottom lip. His mouth dropped open and I eagerly entered.

He had been the dominate one in the relationship, no vraag about it. But sometimes, he liked to see me take...
