This is very important. What is the estimated time for you to add this feature to the N900's kernel?
(pm me if you need help coding)

English is ever evolving, but the clue is in the name! That should tell you which is 'more correct' :-)
But every time I hear an American say 'math' instead of the correct 'maths' I want to put them across my knee and give them a jolly good spanking. (well some of them anyway).

(No joke--I actually heard someone in Louisiana genuinely say that to a Brit that was visiting... oh my God, I laughed.)

Personally, I'm American but I also listen to so much Canadian (CBC mainly) and British (mostly the Today program on Radio 4) that it's clear to me that these differences are all valid within their own territories and provide "local color" to their regional English forms--and they tend to have a history behind them as well. I, for one, "feel" like American English is correct but I recognize that it's because I grew up in a country where the English was intentionally evolved independently from its origin. Only an idiot that doesn't understand their history would insist that that British are speaking incorrect English. Now--Canadians, on the other hand... seriously! A-boot?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1-XbZL7Lns

So it might have been "Me friend broke his arm at (t') Gym and I took him to (t') hospital"
Maybe that's what you've (mis)heard (due to difficulties with understanding accents)?
This is also why you might come across term "t'internet".

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:20.
Several days ago i was watching C-span and i seen Chuck (gun grabbing) Schumer saying "Leader" instead of saying "The leader" he was refering to the house leader & it was obvious he tried to avoid to say "The Leader" but couldnt help it and said "the leader" and he corrected himself by immediately said "Leader.
And unless you were educated in Britain,aussie land i dont see why you would talk like that.
Here is an example of the language in action:
"Me friend broke his arm at Gym and i took him to hospital"
Doesnt that sound like a robotic non-human way of communicating.
