True enough.
I also learned tonight from Neogaf that Americans don't have Egg Cups and that they eat Boiled Eggs with their hands. What the strawberry float is wrong with that country?
They have a 20 page thread about how British people pronounce Mario 'wrong'
This is from the country that brings you zeeeebra, aloominum, graaam instead of Graham and urb instead of herb

and also the OP of that thread seems to think English people say Marry (as Merry) which is a complete American thing and I've never heard anyone in the UK say anything but MA-RIO. Who the strawberry float says Merry-o

What?! How do you eat a soft boiled egg then?
In an egg cup, dipping toast soldiers into the yolk and scooping the rest out with a spoon.
Sorry, that should have read how do
they eat a soft boiled egg. We eat soft boiled eggs in the same way here.
Some of them seemed confused at the concept of a soft boiled egg and wondered how they're even cooked. You couldn't make this gooseberry fool up.
It makes for an entertaining read at work though.

The best way to eat eggs, boiling hot, wee bit of salt on them.
I also thought Ad7 was between jobs. Don't know where I got that from.

Lots of Americans seem to pronounce his name Morry-oh. I don't see how that's 'acceptable'. Everybody I know pronounces it the way Mario himself says it. My barber's Italian, is called Mario, and he says it the same way as well. The Americans sure know how to strawberry float up a language though, not sure they're in a position to criticise.

The best way to eat a boiled egg is to not boil it and fry it instead.

I overheard a German and an American having a PASSIONATE DEBATE over how to pronounce "Audi" last month. Couldn't believe the audacity.

How can it be pronounced any way besides "ow-dee"? What other way is there?
