Don't you pronounce 1 and 3 the same Fletch?

Something from Lano and Woodley here, but why are there so many different spellings of how to make the sound I?

e.g. Hi Guy, Try Thai High Pie
I thought the same thing, maybe we have strange accents?  :P

"Would of" instead of "Would've" or "Would have" is a gripe of mine.

.... but English is a weird language.

For instance, why does flammable and inflammable mean the SAME thing?!

That is a good example oss.

The word 'tinny', a boat a beer and lucky

I hate it when a sports commentator gets hold of a "clever word" but gets the meaning wrong, and then repeats it endlessly thinking it will make them look intelligent. Sometimes it takes off like a virus, with other sports commentators jumping onto the clever new word.

Example: Halcyon, especially used in the phrase "halcyon days". This means peaceful, and, of course, "peaceful days". Everyone at SEN has gotten the impression that halcyon means "exciting", and if I hear one more time Dermie or Kevin warbling "it reminds me of the halcyon days of my first premiership..."

grrrr  ;D

roo boys!

I learnt this the hard way...When I was really young I set my dads inflammable aftershave on fire thinking it wouldn't because it was inflammable.
HAHAHA ;D
