Can i clarify the r in arse question?

It is nothing to do with what is permissible on certain sites. We have always spelt it like that. And that is because we pronounce it like that. Arse is a bottom - ass is a donkey!!!!!!

Biscuits are in deed what our Atlantic cousins call cookies, but i think what you lot call biscuits we call scones. However the word biscuits comes from the french meaning "cooked twice" - because apparently that's what you do with proper biscuits (never made anything other than cookies myself - you see we have those too!)

And i hate to get technical on you all, but as for making words up as we go along - i think you'll find that the Americans are the ones who do that!!! After all, it's called English, not American isn't it??!! Lol.

Vive la difference! That's what i say!:yellghst:
