Can we get rid of the incorrect use of the word already?
 

and which word is that?! "already"?

No. There is no alright/all right thing.

There is an already thing, though, and it is an affront to civilisation. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/angry.gif

Can you present perfectly?

MW is an abomination unto lexicography.

A real dictionary of the English language - like the Oxford or the Collins, both of which I have in front of me, does not stoop to such depths as to attempt to justify madey-uppy-type words.

You're welcome to her. We are quite capable of looking after our language, thanks. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

United Republic would be no problem. Or, if Scotland go their own way, England would be fine. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

Umh, best not to take any chances. Those rebels gave Mr Hannover the heave ho and what do they use as a standard. Certainly not the queens' english. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

What about Pommyland? http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

Being of English ancestry myself I agree there is no need to ask the other lot, just call the whole place "England" ,including Wales and Northern Ireland and Man and the Channel Islands. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

If you ditch Scotland you risk your supplies of good whisky. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/eek.gif

Umh, I thought you wanted to get rid of "already". Now you want to get rid, lizzie, Scotland and Ireland. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

What next. kick us out of the Coomonwealth. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/scared.gif

I had the pleasure of a 6 hour coach journey with 2 Glaswegian drivers and an uncharged ipod. Its a good job I have such a keen interest in foreign languages

I thought we were expanding. We're buying Ireland out...they'll soon be our b*tch again http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

I've been on a French throne before...just a hole in the ground, nothing to sit on.

So no thanks http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ons/icon13.gif

Filthy bastards.

Yeah, but only in France...the dirty grenouilles...
