Greatest American

Who is the greatest American?

There aren't any.

All the really great ones emigrated to Canada.

To my American friends: This is humour. Note the 'u' in humour - the CORRECT spelling.

How about:
Abe Lincoln
Ben Franklin

Yeah, and I suppose the letter zee is pronounced zed (can you think of another consonant that has a second consonant in it's pronunciation).

Washington, following the old Scottish tradition of kicking the bloody English out.

masters

Yes, you need to list all da mothafuckas in alphabetical order!!

lets all play nice. this thread is about great americans and how to properly pronounce letters of the alphabet.

 

[Esco!]

Hey Quyixote, I am actually on your side!!

_the greatest_ is very hard to say. One who numbers among the truly great, but is seldom acknowledged as such, is Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

lego.

And how to spell words. Is it harbour or harbor?

Lets all play nice. I WAS only responding to the thread to implicitly
state it's like comparing Oscar Robertson to Michael Jordan.
It's all a matter of opinion. We all stand on the shoulders of those
that came before us. You and me.

damn straight. was it einstein who said he stood on the shoulders of giants

 

[lego]
