It's an American thing to be obsessed with spelling. I mean they love their spelling bees and Shakespeare couldn't even spell his own name.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

He meant that he went outside to check if it was raining to get away from the situation.

I never got the "chips" vs "fries" argument.

They're two different names for two very different things.

Chips are chips mate, it doesn’t matter if they are thin.

Next you’ll be arguing that it’s ok to call crisps chips. :roll:

Those skinny things you get at McDonaldd and KFC are most definitely not chips.

Are wedges a thing in your world?

Those skinny things in McDonald’s and KFC are most certainly chips. They might not be nice chips, they might not be your ideal chips, but they are chips.

Wedges are just fat chips.

Now strawberry float off and have a rich tea cookie you Yank bastard.

Wedges are roasted not deep fried, right.
