1000uF = ?

so... getting technical... "were" is different to "we're"

and most people pronounce "we're" wrong.

"we're" rhymes with "pier"

Most Aussies pronounce it more like they are saying "wear".

BUT ENOUGH!  The world is too hung up on semantics... and boobs!!

A lot of "American" English seems to have been invented by overzealous product marketing people of the 50's and 60's.

Excellent observation. Unfortunately it continues to this day and has only become much worse.

I feel like American culture could easily be defined as the conjunctive lack of all of its component cultures.

Take care,
