Why do you yanks insist on destroying the English language?

It's long past due we just split it up entirely. Like how Chinese has simple and traditional variants, we should call American English simple English and everything else traditional.

Then they can add whatever stupid words they want and spell things as simply as possible and no one else will be affected by that stupidity.

I don't think many people would say Australian English is "traditional". Many non native speakers can hardly understand most Australian accents and slang.

The Lakers roster is easily the best of all time. I will be shocked if they don't win 55 games.

I think the starting units are somewhat a wash. I do like Clippers coach and bench a lot more. Clips bench is really good. Harrell will bully all the Lakers because he always does. Nobody including DG can lock up Lou Will. Shamet can shoot it, like really shoot it. Harkless is an underrated pickup. Not sure what's happening with Jaymichal Green but if clips get him back another good player. They are missing one more decent player with size though as AD will be a tough matchup.

I’ve always wondered, what the **** does finna even mean? I mean I’m not dumb, I get what it’s being forced on us, but wtf, finna? Finna. Doesn’t even make logical sense.


And it doesn't even save lazy or illiterate people that many key strokes. At least save us more key strokes on an abbreviation.

I don't think many people would say Australian English is "traditional". Many non native speakers can hardly understand most Australian accents and slang.

Accents aren't the problem, nor is slang honestly (I was being hyperbolic with that adding stupid words bit). Americans literally spell words differently. Center instead of centre, color instead of colour, etc. There's enough of a divergence from the original that you could split it off and I doubt anyone would really care.

Also, anecdotal I know but I work in retail in a pretty multi-cultural area. Nobody has an issue with accents, it's more a lack of understanding with sayings (sarcasm, for example, doesn't translate well. Probably true of all languages though).

Fixing to do something means you are planning or preparing to do it. It's not that hard to comprehend; it seems like people are being purposefully obtuse. At least, for their sake, I hope that's what it is.

Lakers will fail again, better care about not face Clips in first round, or second, and see Davis walk to another team in 2020.

Lakers fans conveniently forgetting that LeBron is in his mid 30s. He can't carry a team like he used to when he was in Cle/Mia.

OP is obviously a lakers fan and biased but he has a point with some of his arguments

for example clippers won't be able to deal with lakers' size inside. in addition lebron always schooled paul george during his pacers days, he's right at that too

KG on roids
Danny Green the best 3 and D player in the league

Lmaooooo. Lakers will be good but the Clippers have more all around talent and are much deeper.
