>>10083179George Bush was illiterate. Americans consider it an endearing trait. It's why you hear idiots saying they could care less when they mean that they dont care at all. (If they didn't care at all then they couldn't care less, but the American mind can not grasp things that seem obvious for anyone else)
That is why they need explanation words in front of normal English words. You know how in England they say glasses? In America they needed to say eye glasses so that Americans would remember where to put them.
They need everything simplified and dumbed down.
They take the English language and then dumbed it down. They couldn't grasp the concept of a pavement so they called it sidewalk so that they knew where to put it (on the side of the road) and an explanation of what they should use it for.
And there are many other words like that. Instead of bin they say waste paper basket. They need to know that it is for paper and that it is waste (or else they would just hoard it) so they need to know what to put in it (not only paper, but waste paper... Or else they would throw perfectly fine paper in it and what it is)
So Americans will never manage to learn their own language. Might as well just make there/they're/their into one word and where/we're/were into one word so they aren't confused the poor things.
