2. Sorry, I couldn't help but respond...
"M-A-N-E-U-V-E-R"; we just tend to use as few letters as possible...and I know you all hate it when we use "z's" instead of "s's"--as in "organize" instead of "organise", or "realize" instead of "realise"!:D

So, THAT must be why the guy who advertiZed Molson Canadian said: "My official languages are French and English, not American." Of course, he COULD have said: "...not American and Spanish"!:eyes:

B-)

Actually, I'm an American...
I just wanted to see people argue 2 vs. 3.:evilgrin:

But I'd like to think I'm well informed when I can spell it three different ways.;)

3. What's that quote?
England and America, two nations separated by a common language.
