We don't get BBC around here, so no Torchwood. Heck, it's doubtful we'll get Dr Who again because now that there is a BBC America channel the BBC will not sell the rights to the Sy-Fy channel.

I'll download it from the internet when I can.

So, not only is 'cutlery' apparently not in US 'English' vocab

We say 'silverware.' You poor inbred ****s probably can't afford silver eating utensils, so you had to invent a word like 'cutlery' to describe your simple peasant utensils. It's understandable.

Or proving that you shouldn't ***** about language and grammar errors when you're prone to error yourself.

Man, you have to be thick if you can't understand more than one accent - oh look, it's DFG!...

What I find hilarious is when the yanks need subtitles to watch English programmes. We can effortlessly understand your stupid simplified 'english for dummies' version you morons have created by butchering the mother tongue basically because you've stripped any intelligence out of it - is it any wonder you can't understand your betters!?

As for zakubandit's amusing comments about students learning english preferring American accents: I'm guessing because yanks speak english in a simplistically slow and retarded manner - of course they're going to prefer it!

In the UK, for example, people with a Birmingham accent are most easily understood by english learners because they speak in a truly slow and retarded manner, and are correspondingly the butts of accent jokes about thick people in this country...

I just love how you guys are so thick, you actually think it's a virtue!

What is hilarious about having to use subtitles to understand WTF you brits are saying?
You brits can understand what we say.

I just love how you can't help but fall into my bear traps...

Every now and again, you shoot yourself in the foot - which is why I set them.

Maybe the reason why Brits can understand American accents more readily than Americans can understand theirs and why non-English speakers prefer the American accent over the British ones is American movies and TV. They play in most countries. I'm willing to bet that most major cities in most countries of the world will see the top ranking ten American films every year - and if the theaters don't carry them the DVD stores will. The top ranking American TV likewise permeates most foreign markets. People prefer the American accents because they're spoken by Indiana Jones, Spiderman, Batman, etc., etc.

All you blokes got is Harry Potter.
