I am a culprit of often using the word snog and I'm not even British.

Speaking of that, the frigging lamest thing I have ever heard was that for some books written by British authors, they actually release American editions for the US market with Americanized spelling and words. I know we sometimes look like it, but we're really not a nation of retarded people. Most of us do know what someone means when they say "torch" instead of "flashlight" and still know what "colour" means even with the U in it.
Try reading an Irvine Welsh novel , even I struggle with some of those.
Here's one of his easier passages if you've not read him

- Sorry, I can't really understand you . . . These foreign cunts've goat trouble wi the Queen's fuckin English, ken. Ye huv tae speak louder, slower, n likesay mair posh, fir the cunts tae understand ye.

- WHERE . . . DO . . . YOU . . . COME . . . FROM?

That dis the fuckin trick. These nosey cunts in front ay us look roond. Ah stares back at the cunts. Some fucker's oan a burst mooth before the end ay this fuckin journey, ah kin see that now.

- Ehm . . . we're from Toronto, Canada.

- Tirawnto. That wis the Lone Ranger's mate, wis it no? ah sais. The birds jist look it us. Some punters dinnae fuckin understand the Scottish sense ay humour.

- Where are you from? the other burd sais...

- Edinburgh, Rents goes, tryin tae sound aw fuckin posh, ken. Fuckin smarmy rid-heided cunt. He's aw ready tae steam in now, aw Joe-fuckin-Cool, once Franco breks the fuckin ice.

Heh. It's not too hard for me to understand if I sound it out but that's not a big help if you're reading on the train or something.

I passed a church yesterday with the following inspirational message on the sign out front:

Reason is the greatest enemy faith has.

Aaargh!

I think that's actual kind of true, but probably not in the way they meant it.

Today my squadron and I had to join the rest of the Group and Wing to have a manditory "fun run" which ironically is not fun. gee imagine that? Worst part is, it was snowing and the Air Force doesn't give out warm PT gear in Maryland...

and this was all AFTER a little pre-thanksgiving getogether for our squadron, so everyone was stuffed and cold...but apparently, we needed to boost morale...

It is true, and at least they admit it (unlike people who think you can "prove" that a religion is "right" by using logic), but it's still extremely annoying to be reminded that some people will actually ignore their powers of reason in favor of blind belief in some ancient dogma.
