contradiction...... Billy Britain,
Your cute nickname for me is Mr. England so, implicit in that, I hereby refuse to acknowledge any nonsense you choose to quote me from any American-English dictionnary. I speak English. And, in my language, the language of the Oxford English Dictionnary, a dove is a bird of peace or an ecstacy tablet. I have never, nor will I ever, consider 'dove' as the past tense of 'to dive'. Never. I don't care how many people (mis)use it and I do remember it's (mis)use being epidemic in Canada.
You can threaten to kill my Queen, fill my city with fcuking Australians (I know you had something to do with that), and smother me with diving Croats but I will not be moved.
Don't even start me on 'gotten'. |
