My friend Nathan sends me a hilarious link: what the British say, what they really mean, and how people understand their utterances.

KEVIN'S WALK BLOGS
BIG HOMINID'S TEES
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

That's very interesting.

I don't know if you will find this commercial exactly hilarious, but once you save up about $17,000 LG's new 84-inch UltraHD TV. LG has taken to scarily realistic prankvertising to frighten Chileans into purchasing this high priced TV. I still find it rather unbelievable that outside the U.S., TVs are still measured in inches, even if the diagonal measurement of the screen isn't quite 84 inches, but everyone knows that there is no truth in advertising.
Glad you liked it, Kevin. The funny thing is, the chart is more or less how I and a number of other Canadians (but by no means all or even most) speak. My favourites include the real meanings of "by the way," "it's my fault," "I would suggest," and "I'll bear it in mind."
