flapjacks are made from oats not granola

Granola is baked rolled oats.

 

[Red Liquorice]

How else would you say it?

How it's spelt. Krayg.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

and they're fucking delicious, too

They most certainly are. Stay away from the overly buttery shite you get in a pre-wrapped bar, bake it yourself or buy it in a foil tray and you have an instant orgasm for the tongue

 

[daviyoung]

Granola is baked rolled oats.

I think granola is missing the heaps of butter.

 

[frankie_baby]

Granola is baked rolled oats.

and other stuff as well

 

[jufonuk]

Personally despite all these differences, I got your back, my septic-tanks, as well as you fine fellows above them, also you lovely Middle Earthers and Prisoner Cell Block H Lovers.

(also the french, cos dammit my GF is french too, infact all y'all you all groovy people, except north korea because fuck him)

peace

 

[ghst]

it's time to bring up america's complete butchery of the word twat.

 

[Baller. PhD]

Granola is for dieting, if you want a real treat head to the Texas State Fair and get you some deep-fried butter. Wash it down with a deep-fried bacon cinnamon roll!

too far!

 

[frankie_baby]

PAL, home of shitty framerates.

worth it though just not to have a console that looks like shit

I'll take that over the hideous thing you got.

Also we have better box arts, so there.

 

[Kelthink]

Also SNES is pronounced 'Snez'.

 

[demon]

Also SNES is pronounced 'Snez'.

This should really be illegal.

 

[Lesath]

has jaguar been brought up yet?

probably the americans stupidest pronunciation next to words that end in 'ham'. one time an american friend of mine said 'tottenham' over skype and it was the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Jag-wahr? Like how the most of the western world pronounces it?

 

[daviyoung]

I'm from the UK

 

[mxgt]

Also SNES is pronounced 'Snez'.

damn straight

I'm from the UK

well shit man

let's be honest no one could tell the difference at that age

 

[Baller. PhD]

Also SNES is pronounced 'Snez'.

Don't even start with this peasant bullshit!

This should really be illegal.

 

[Timbuktu]

Also SNES is pronounced 'Snez'.

How else do you pronounce it?

 

[Suairyu]

PAL, home of shitty framerates.

but far superior resolutions and colours.

 

[BertramCooper]

One of the things I miss about the UK are those Upper Crust sandwich places in train stations.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Megadrive is a better name than Genesis.

 

[Baller. PhD]

How else do you pronounce it?

S-N-E-S, as in pronouncing each letter.

You'd never do that though because no one would understand that you were trying to talk about the Super Nintendo.

 

[mxgt]

S-N-E-S, as in pronouncing each letter.

that takes far too long and doesn't sound nearly as cool

 

[Aeriscloud]

PAL SNES > NTSC SNES

what now, americans?

Earthbound, EVO, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 6, Breath of Fire, Gradius 3, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Lufia, Ogre Battle, Robotrek, and Super Mario RPG called. They'd like to have a word with you.

 

[Suairyu]

Low blow, man

 

[daviyoung]

Whore = Tramp
Tramp = Bum
Bum = Fanny
Fanny = Pussy

well shit man

let's be honest no one could tell the difference at that age

I was spoiled by the arcades.

 

[demon]

How else do you pronounce it?

Depends on where you're from. Are you from the Oosa or from the Uck?

 

[BertramCooper]

Low blow, man

Seriously, I think Upper Crust made up about a third of my diet while I was visiting the UK. Pret was probably another third.

 

[Baller. PhD]

It's only for sounding out in your head when reading a gaming mag. When actually speaking you use the correct pronunciation of "Super Nintendo." ;-)

How does UK pronounce PS3, GBA or GCN? Hmm?

 

[frankie_baby]

people said 'snez' here and peeope always knew what they were talking about

 

[lenovox1]

Jag-wahr? Like how the most of the western world pronounces it?

Exactly. First off, it's an American animal in the first place. USers can go in the wild and see the things, UKers just know the name by the car brand. So the conversation about pronunciation ends there .

I also like how when we take a recent loan word, we try to keep the pronunciation as close to the original word as possible. British English speakers don't give a flying fuck. They'll pronounce it the "easiest" way.

 

[Baller. PhD]

Right, and now we have to rewrite history. Future generations must never know what you did.

 

[malingenie]

Another thing about your country I find incredibly bizarre and a little scary is the amount of time and money poured into high-school football and the pedestal talented players are put on. Especially considering the state of literacy and test scores in some of those states where football is god.

I'm with you on that one.

 

[jufonuk]

guns, mwahha

I just freaked out when I see armed police

 

[derder]

We don't clap on theaters either in Spain (where I'm from) nor Japan (where I live). Clapping in the theater just seems... meaningless. If it's at the end of the movie, that is. I assume nobody ever claps mid-movie, of course.

Clapping at the end of the movie would only make sense if the actors or directors or other staff is also attending and it's some sort of event or something.

I've been to a recorded-music musician concert. Its accepted that you applause the artist, even if he isn't there.

I'm gonna say it we like bros man we bitch and moan but if shit happened to you we would back you up.

 

[Bazza]

Jag-wahr? Like how the most of the western world pronounces it?

Like its pronounced in this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JYZNSyP9v9M

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Reading this thread really makes the Revolutionary War make sense now.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Jag-wah and Josh-wah sound stupid. Shove that up your arse.

 

[RedShift]

You guys say ESS EN EE ESS every time? That sounds exhausting.

 

[StopMakingSense]

This really grates.

See also: Craig as "KREGG"

I'm confused, everyone call me "KRAYG", not "KREGG", in the US.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Low blow, man

Seriously, I think Upper Crust made up about a third of my diet while I was visiting the UK. Pret was probably another third.

As someone who worked in a station (& therefore received a discount), I always found Upper Crust to be a rip-off, completely overpriced & lacking in fillings. Pret was good(Eat is better), but the best value was always M&S sandwiches, they were the only company not to put prices up simply because they are in a station.

 

[Var]

Schedule gets me the most. And "herb".

 

[shadyspace]

Exactly. First off, it's an American animal in the first place. USers can go in the wild and see the things

You know I always forger that UKers will never know the fear of possibly being mauled to death by a gigantic beast in their own backyard. What a boring existence.

 

[StopMakingSense]

You guys say ESS EN EE ESS every time? That sounds exhausting.

[US] I've only heard "S-N-E-S", "Sness", and "Super Nintendo"

Fuck this zed bullshit.
