Re: Two Times!!!
There is also the classic, 'supposedly', maybe people pronounce it wrong back in England too, but I never heard it said 'supposebly' before I came here! (Except on 'Friends') I hear it said wrong all the time over here, I resist the urge to laugh!!!

This is a good point ! .... Why does no body here understand if I use the word 'Triple' when using it in a numerical sense ie; '5740001' if I say triple zero they dont get it, if I say 'Twice' I am looked at as a moron ...... sorry, forgot ! .... I am one :( |

Another one is "I slept bad" rather than "I slept badly". Every American I have met speaks likes this. I wonder if the English teachers speak the correct way. Drives me up the wall!
In the UK we have the screaming shits, here they just get "tore up real bad" lololol |
