All Americans must be taught that London is not, and I repeat not, England; and England is not London.

Well, I sincerely hope that Mr Cleese did not send that letter.

You see, not only is an indefinite article missing, but the letter also uses quotation marks in the American style of punctuation.

And that Scotland is not in England either. And I think that rants old, I remember it circulating when Bush first came in after the bungled up vote in Florida .

Bukkake shots where you are with a few other guys...is fucking gay.

In fact, about pulling trains with a woman...you wanna have sex with other guys and mix your sperm with theirs...you're just using a woman as a conduit.

Sadly, the tired rantings of a once funny, now grumpy old man. Who is he trying to kid?

I must confess to pissing my pants laughing when I heard about the Southpark episode where the Queen shoots herself on live TV after announcing that her plan to reclaim USA as a British coloney had failed.

And I never quite understood the difference between 'The UK' and Britain.

If I understand part of point number 2 correctly ".....and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise.", then the use of "ize" is correct and proper English.

So, for example, "realize" is the correct English language spelling and "realise" is an alternative spelling.

Try looking in The Concise Oxford Dictionary, if anyone doesn't accept this.

Or, I might have misunderstood what "....and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise." was actually about.
