i'm teaching you english you aussie. Now, my turn: Really? I don't think anyone even says "aeroplane" anymore, first of all. And why would they call "draft", "draught"? That's not even a difference in pronunciation that's just a straight up different word. Also what's wrong with the pronunciation of American English? Apparently it's looked down upon by the UK.

Aeroplane is still widely used, though more in the U.K. than the rest of the commonwealth. As for draught, the use of the word is referring to the beer, which in America for some reason is called draft. Also I think American English is looked down upon as it's seen as lazy and bastardised

Why is it lazy and basterdized, because they changed the spelling of a few words...?

And yes, search up Spelling Reform. Only in America was it generally implemented, and what it did was dumb down and simplify the language. Also how about searching it up? You're better off reading from those that are more knowledgeable in that area

At the very least though we don't try to correct Americans or anything like that. What's bizarre though is that you're not even American and you've adopted this attitude

If I was raised in the UK or New Zealand, I'd probably speak like the Brits. And again, that's like someone saying your language is stupid. It's very insulting I'm sure.

Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy wrote great autobiographies. I've got Clapton's book in German but reading Buddy in translation wouldn't work much, so I got the original version.

I must admit one autobiography I wouldn't mind checking out is Miles Davis's, just so I can read him slagging off many of the greats haha

So I came across a Frank Sinatra biography at a second hand store today, and briefly read through it.... nearly 900 bloody pages long. It was only $3 actually, but it was a bit damaged so I chose against getting it - plus it wasn't hardcover. Read a little bit about Sinatra's final years.... sad

Currently reading Dave Mustaine's books. While I disagree with the man a lot I did want to learn more about him, particularly in the early days of Metallica before he got kicked. So far so good
