Why do You Brit's Say 'Appy Instead of Happy?

SynthethicalY · 09.16.2007, 11:10 PM

Well?

SynthethicalY · 09.16.2007, 11:23 PM

You just couldn't say happy.

ALIEN ANAL · 09.16.2007, 11:45 PM

and isnt H pronounced Aych anyway :P

racehorse · 09.17.2007, 02:03 AM

more like "aitch"

Norma J · 09.17.2007, 02:51 AM

Because their diction is terrible. We melt words here, but they cut letters out.

Florya · 09.17.2007, 07:22 AM

S'our fackin' languidge an we'll tork it 'ow we want!

The only people who drop their H's are people from the east end of London and the county of Essex (rather ironically, those same people tend to pronounce H as "haitch" instead of "aitch"). If you think that all British people drop their H's, you've obviously been watching too many trashy American sitcoms that beleive that all Britons are Cockneys. Try watching some decent TV for a change.

Anyway, why is there an apostrophe in the word "Brits" in the title of this thread?

Danny Himself · 09.17.2007, 12:47 PM

You are gravely misinformed, Synth.

floatingslowly · 09.17.2007, 12:49 PM

Lot's of people's like to add's apostrophe's when they're' looking to pluralize's thing's.

Oi vey - that really bug's me.

I bet Lynne Truss has something to say about that.
