Yet another example...

This is another example of what happens to your language when you share it with foreigners. In Britain, it used to be taxy, but it has now been corrupted. It's a bit like having those bloody Zs where you should have Ss. Like "blow' instead of "suck," etc. I'm also a little insulted that Mirriam-Webster is being used as a reference.

Well done USA on getting Abu. You'll find him an ugly, unpleasant, expensive individual with a litigious habit - which you'll pay for. Oh yes, his favourite foods are Smarties, soup, spagetti and peas.
