My dog died tonight after climbing into the tumble drier. At least he died in Comfort.

Forgot to put him on delicate cycle did we?

What's a "tumble drier"? It's drier than what? Your dog? 
I would have upvoted the joke* if you had spelled "dryer" correctly.
Nah, just kidding.

You have just been Sharapova'd.

What's a 'tumble dryer'? Something that dries tumbles? Stupid language all round is that there English!

Why is the Presidents name pronounced "olland"**, rather than "Holland"? Are you all Cockneys in disguise? Also do you get the 'H' sound using a 'J' like the Spanish with Jalepeno. I have a team in Mexico and they say "Je je je" when they mean to laugh ie he he he

its interesting - Im not a native speaker of any other language than English (and even then, after a drop alcohol ....)
I'm not sure if the 'H' in 'Holland' is completely silent - I know there's a definate French pronunciation of the 'o' that may obscure the softer 'H'
.. as for Spanish - yes, one quickly learns that 'j' sounds like 'h', 'll' sounds like 'y' etc, but I dont get the reverse you imply
to me its all 'potato'/potAto etc - I can mostly make myself understood, and tend to go with the local lingo of wherever I am/whom-ever I am with

Should be obvious for everyone:

Mais oui! C'est vrai! But English people don't shouldn't use English pronunciation to speak French either.
Which is why it wouldn't be pronounced Holland even if the H was sounded. The final 'e' requires the lengthened vowel in the second syllable. And also why it's a really bad idea to tell the waiter in a French restaurant that you were there because the Hote cuisine was Highly recommended.

From what I know, both English and French are not phonetic, and therefore, WYRINHYS*.

The same reason that mercans pronounce 'herbs' as '<glottal stop>erbs'.

Which reminds me of a question that's been bugging me for awhile, who cleans up Guide Dogs poo?
|
|
|
|

They're specially trained to clean up after themselves.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
I guess they're not trained by politicians then?
