In our foriegn compadres, Vad, they spell things differently.
Didn't notice "humour" and such?
Not sure if "civilized" is one of them, but I'd hazard a guess that it is.

Correct me you other grammar whores, but I think the I-S-E combination makes the ICE sound, not IZED sound.
Humour like Colour being a special case because both
o-r and
o-u-r make the
ore sound.

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.

I really don't care to know. I like being a grammar-whore with American grammar enough, don't really want to get started on Australian/British/etc. (But try and pronounce civilized in a British accent. Sounds like ice. And last time I checked, "our" and "hour" weren't pronounced like "or" and "whore" respectively.)
Anyhow, I only saw bits and pieces of Kill Bill, but he was really good. It's sad to hear about this.

I'm in a daze. Bed time.

It's how non-US English speaking people spell it, I think. At least the Brits and Aussies, maybe the Candans, but I mean, who understands them half the time anyway?

English is the most bastardized language we have. There are plenty of words that have the letter s that are pronounced as z's, like "eyes" and "nose."
Anyway, I absolutely believe that this was just an attempt to masturbate gone wrong (if you were going to hang yourself, would the noose
really be attached to your junk?). What an embarrassing way to die.

Why is the "c" upper-case?

Caradine was in a movie with the guy from The Animal, The Hot Chick, and the Duece Biggalos. It was about the guy going to prison. I'm fairly sure it got theater play at one point in larger cities. Saw it on Xbox 360.
And he was in Thailand filming Stretch. Someone might've said that.

Ah, the young.
I've been calling Candans Candans since ... 2004? 2005? I forget. I did it to piss off Sage, but I don't think it worked.
