[Mgs] Common Language

[Barrie Robinson]

Larry,

You miss the bit about speaking ENGLISH.  The "z" and is old 
fashioned and UK moved from that after the Yanks got the French to 
help them in the war of Independence.   As for the "y", the tyre was 
invented by a Brit (Scotsman Dunlop) so whatever he called it (tyre) 
is what it is !!!   - All the roots of English go back hundreds if 
not thousands of years and it is difficult to get credence as a 
language shaper after only a couple of centuries.

Also said with tongue in cheek....but hands over jewels as well.
