  3. Put that crackpipe down bonehead.

    BTW, for the rest of you, let's have a few facts to prove your assertions. Right now, the only fact in this thread is that the US leads the world in international patent filings. Britain is No. 7.

  5. If you are in an english speaking foreign country ( Canada, Australia, New Zealand, English speaking Caribbean countries and many others), how do you tell the American. By his accent, you can't miss him. He is the only one that speaks that way.
    English speaking countries got the English language from the Englishman. What's different is they all speak English with their unique accents.
    All those countries were once colonies of England, including America.

    Kind of irrelevant how many patents you have (which ARE NOT inventions) seeing as america is bankrupt. Everything will be up for sale by next weekend - including your precious patents.

    FYI:
    A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state (national government) to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time

    An invention is a better or more effective composition, device, or process.


    Therefore, just because a country has a large amount of patents, that does not imply they have the largest number of inventions. It could simply be reflective of the state that grants them.

    Equally that as many inventions may not have had patents applied for in the UK, especially in the pre war years when most inventions came about, as greedy american consumerism wasn't the cancer that sweeps the world as it is now.

    Lets be objective here.

    You're right. Also, dont forget they also mispronounce words.

    Data:
    Day-ta = RIGHT
    Daa-taa = WRONG

    Route:
    Roo -t = RIGHT
    Row -t = WRONG

  8. The British explorer Christopher Columbus discovered America and invented the potato.

    Without British there would be no America today.

    But who discovered Obama and allowed him to reach USA presidency?

  9. Hey, but that's the same exact thing I said. I meant that Spain and Africa didn't invent anything. You completely misinterpreted what I wrote :)

  10. There are reputed British schools all over the world because British had colonies in many countries. I doubt there are American schools in other countries.

    My education is from one of the best British schools in the world that is the reason nobody can defeat me in a debate or argument thanks to my Mother.

    I think majority of the world speak British version of English.
