That's a major point of contention, especially when it comes to the championship game.

So why don't you explain it further, oh be-all-and-know-all of American football?

Yes, they are both correct. This is one of the variant things you have been harping on about but don't quite understand yourself.

The phonetic of faux pas isn't "phopah"...



Main Entry: faux pas
Pronunciation: 'fO-"pä, fO-'
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural faux pas /-"pä(z), -'pä(z)/
Etymology: French, literally, false step



Try it one more time...

Pronunciation: 'fO-"pä = pho - pah



Who's your pa? Who's your daddy. You're a phopah for not getting it.

The slang spelling was a joke unto itself, knob-uh-leenus.

Who cares about the British influence? It's the correct influence!

The Americans are just the variants.....

Yes, they both are correct. But it's funny how people get so defensive about it. Just like the lack in understanding the obvious behind phopah.

You are a joke unto yourself.

Yu speld it fonetikally and got it rong and haf tride to cuvver it up ever sinse.

Gotta give you points for tenacity though.

And just to clear something else up:

slang

n 1: informal language consisting of words and expressions that are not considered appropriate for formal occasions; often vituperative or vulgar; "their speech was full of slang expressions" 2: a characteristic language of a particular group (as among thieves);

'Phopah' is neither vulgar nor part of any particular groups vocabulary.
Therefore 'phopah' is not slang.

Conforming to the status quo? Do you like being led, do what you are told all the time? I bet the British would laugh at what you just said about them being the correct influence :lol:


I suppose you can rationalize the spelling of centre?

Neither can you since you still at least attempt to use their language.

Nice try if you can't tell the spelling joke unto itself.

Pop culture slang. I already mentioned that. And recently.


Maybe you missed out on what you just posted. Idiot.


>>n 1: informal language consisting of words and expressions that are not considered appropriate for formal occasions<<



Hope the underlined parts helped. You're the one that posted the obvious in what most know in the 1st place.

The Americanized version. Just like the many versions amongst the English language. You guys just accent it with bizarre slang. Hence the stupid name of seppo.

centre - correct spelling
center - american variant



But centre is enunciated with an 'er'. Not an 're'.
