in New Zealand I had a conversation with a park ranger. she pronounced "yes" as "yis". when I did it too, she looked at me like I was taking the piss

Why on earth would you use a comma instead of a decimal point?

Clue is in the name Eurotards. Decimal point. Not decimal fucking smudge.

No wonder you all talk funny and drive on the wrong side of the road and use silly money that isn't worth anything, you can't even get the basics right!

 

[Scouse]

In South Africa they call crisp chips as well. And Chips are called "Slap Chips" (pronounced slup chips) meaning soft chips as opposed to the crisp ones

I literally have no way of deciphering this. You need to provide pictoral definitions of each of the relevant terms.

You clearly have no idea what a decimal point is or the history of it! Have you ever read a book or bothered to back up your nonsense picked-out-of-the-thin-blue-air facts? Here; read this and be sure to read the history part of it

You're living on a small island, with an even smaller gene pool, and my god it shows

So more people use the decimal point. Thanks for clearing that up.

UK: Crisps vs South Africa: Chips

UK: Chips vs South Africa: Slap Chips (Soft Chips)

 

[Lethul]

We put a full stop after each thousand and a comma between the whole numbers and the decimals. Do Swedes put a space in between?

And saying Danes kill whales is like saying Londoners wear kilts and play the bagpipe

Space is most common I would say and considered best practice.

Because more people use it, doesn't make it right

I think it is quite clear, most civilized countries use decimal comma except Japan and Canada (but they use both!)

 

[Trem]

I refuse to have a discussion about this using our language with bloody horned hat wearing barbarians

Then Dys goes and saffer's the fuck out of everything with slap chips or whatever, fucking slap chips?

 

[Ormorof]

What! A world with 7 billion people in it occasionally do things differently than the brits?!

That said i use a .

But in mathematics if you have 5x5 as multiplier rather than • then using a . Makes sense

But writing 5•5.5 by hand begins to look confusing if you have sloppy handwriting like me

So 5•5,5 is easier to read

I know! On a UK based forum as well.

 

[Ormorof]

A UK forum polluted with foreigners, they come over here and criticize our punctuation and chips and crips...and slap chips

We have dipped our toes in your well!

And lets not even get started on the whole bread roll/bap/cake/muffin debacle

 

[CorNokZ]

I love the way you use semicolon though. I will give you that much. It is lovely.

 

[Ormorof]

Who doesnt enjoy a lovely colon

 

[CorNokZ]

I don't like the full colon, only a semi

 

[Raven]

Its like writing a sentence.

You use a full stop at the end of the sentence, not throughout.

X,< number XXX < 10s, 100s, 1000s etc . < end of full number XX < decimal points.

Euros are wrong

And its a bread roll btw!

 

[Hawkwind]

In Safa language saying Thank you is pronounced "buy a donkey!" nuff said, silly language

 

[Ormorof]

A guy i wentto uni with from rochdale swore on his life everyone he knew called them muffins

In Hull they were called baps if they were small but bread cakes if they were large

 

[Hawkwind]

You forgot the US biscuit as well, silly yanks.

And yet you're happy to use the numbers argument when it comes to driving on the wrong side of the road.

I said nothing regarding numbers, I just stated that you drive on the wrong side of the road? Car manufacturers have to make a second manufacturing line just to cater to your small market. From a global perspective you should convert to both the metric system and driving on the right side of the road. It makes no sense to drive on the left, from a global perspective

Fixed

 

[Gwadien]

I call them cobs.

Sometimes a bun.

Dunno, I kinda use all of them, not a muffin though, retards.

I avoid bread talk, the last time I did that on here it almost gave me a heart attack and previous to my thread it got me banned from a sandwich shop.

Edit - Oh fuck it, burgers go in baps or buns (but they call them rolls in Co-Op because they are cunts) brioche is my choice. Hot dogs go in rolls.

I found it fascinating that one of the reasons we drive on the correct side of the road dates back to the days of horseback. We Brits rode with our right arm or sword arm facing oncoming riders and our swords safely away from the other rider. Meaning if they talked shit or tried to say crisps were chips we had ready access to our sword and did not need to fight across our horses. This of course means that everyone else rode on the wrong side basically so they could ride around rubbing their swords on each over.*

*The above may not be 100% based on historical fact.

(sshhh @soze I had to edit where you spelt road instead of rode because one of the incorrect side of the road drivers may see it)

It's not just the Scandinavians, it mainland Europe as well.... I ensure I have English excel as it converts the retarded numbers into sensible ones
