I don't know if this makes sense, but...
In America we say 'uh' and 'umm' and that is how we write it out. It seems like British writing uses 'er' and 'erm'
Is this because a Brit saying 'uh' sounds like 'er' and 'um' sounds like 'erm'? If you say 'uh' out loud (and your american) it sounds like a someone from the U.K. saying 'er'
I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me, (or maybe it is something everyone already knows) but I pondered it today.

We'll the "R" sound in Europe is a highly debated subject.  They can't agree on it's pronunciation for the life of them. So my thought is that it the "R" gets tossed around quite a bit because they don't know what to do with that letter.

Why I can't view flash videos on Firefox right now. I've updated flashplayer, and googling brings me answers from 2009. Youtube and flash works on safari, any ideas what's going on?

The French, Spanish, and English "R"s are all different.  I have no idea how other European countries interpret it.  It's not literally debated like I said.  People don't sit at a round table and compare arguments about it's pronunciation, but that one letter has a diverse representation throughout the continent.

If I had ever bought/done anything for my Mom unless is was a special occasion. Realized I had never...so I went and picked her up some really nice flowers ad wrote a little not saying how she is the greatest Mom in the entire world. Gotta love my mama.

[Useful Idiot]

Nice work.

If I see somebody in my rearview driving like an asshole, cutting people off and weaving in an out of traffic, then I get close enough to a car in the next lane so that the guy can't pass, does that make me an asshole as well?

Being an asshole to correct someone who was being an asshole first, makes you a hero. Congrats Briden. You earned this.

I used to work at a relay center that helped deaf people use the phone. During our orientation, we had a deaf lady come "talk" to us about how important our job was blah blah. im pretty sure someone there asked her that question and she said something along the lines of visualizing the words in her head when shes thinking, instead of sounds

Why does time go by so fast?

[friendly dave]

When ever I take a shit the day after eating corn on the cob, I always think to myself. "Do I need to chew my food better?"

why does time go by so slow when you're standing in front of the microwave waiting for your food to get done cooking?

Almost every time I trip I'll end up buying my mom some little gift or lawn ornament because my trip will lead me down a path of thinking that makes me feel really bad about how I've treated her. Not that I treat her like shit at all, I just don't treat her like the golden god she is. To this point I've given her a gnome I stole from a lawn, a gnome I bought from the University's bookstore, some crazy metal ladybug, Kroger flowers, and a really balling sassy mom mug for the rebel in every 55 year old woman.

who was the first person to say "i got my mind on my money, and my money on my mind"

If a vacuum (or anything really) has a HI and LO setting, what is the point in having a LO setting?

"I only want to clean a little bit of shit off my floor, not all of it!" Makes sense.

maybe to conserve electricity? that's a good question

[Zurg]

if you were just vacuuming dust or something, you use the low and it uses less power. not that good of a question

[Doctor Handsome]

You're right, electricity is so expensive. And vacuuming totally gets ride of that base layer of dust.

i'm just indecisive and unsure about everything... leave me alone!

Same for boiling water.

Exceptions to every rule. Especially if you're a rich white man.
