I've checked the HTML code from Code Project and I'm confused because Code Project use a lot of table-tags. Some designers knows that tables cannot be used for layout.

Are you trying to turn the tables on us?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

In proper (what you would call British) English, the verb "to table" has the totally opposite meaning - if we table an amendment, we bring it to the attention of the participants. In wrong (US) English, if you table an amendment you don't discuss it any more. We put it on the table, you hide it under the table.

Let's make a compromise and say that you all speak a derivate of antiquated German.

The same goes for Dutch and now things are getting complicated. Back then there were only a lot of tribes, each with their own dialects. Only the Romans made it simple by calling everyone beyond the Rhine Germans. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes indeed came from the area where modern day Frisians live.

Probably closer to French, in this instance, because parliament was conducted in French until quite recently.

Wasn't that brought to you by (of all people) the Normans?

'Twas indeed.
Unless I'm misremembering, there are still a few parliamentary rituals carried out in French.

But the Normans weren't French, they came from Scandinavia.

Exactly, but they came to land and wealth in France and invaded England from there. At least they still had good German names like Wilhelm or Richard.

Only on CP can a discussion go from coding HTML with tables to the meaning of words to origins of languages to European history. I love this place!  
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

As usual, like driving on the wrong side of the road, you Brits have it ass (as in arse) backwards.
If when is actively presenting an amendment when is holding it, reading it, even waving it in the air. If you put it sown on a table it's because you've given up.
Anyone who spoke proper English came here, the cockney's stayed on your little island.
(We further refined it by sending those with problems to the deep south: out of site, out of mind)
It's high time you get with the program.

It's true - Americans don't understand irony. Like someone lecturing us about "proper" English whilst not knowing how to use an apostrophe! 
W∴ Balboos wrote: If when is actively presenting an amendment when is holding it
In proper English, one uses the word "one", not "when".
W∴ Balboos wrote: out of site, out of mind
You're going at this whole "proper English" malarkey like a bowl in a china shop. 
Yes, I know the expression is a bull in a china shop. It's also "out of sight, out of mind".

Ah, but if you put it on the table of the Speaker of the House[^], it's because you want it discussed.

I have this exact discussion everytime anyone on the team says we should table something.
I always ask them: "what side of the table do you use by default?" And yet the default meaning in North America is opposite what common sense dictates.
I will convert this entire continent! 1 argument at a time! Until next time when they forget and revert to their barbaric ways.
