    I don't mean accents & dialects as base languages.

    It's the things like 'colour' and mutilation to 'color' that's weird because it conveys positive - quite the contrary.

    It's all related my friend. Back in the days when the forefathers moved from England to US. They wanted to be safe from domination of British products and mass production units. What we call today as "dumping".

    The ingeneous idea was to make everything in the US. So you have door-knobs here that twist the opposite. Taps in the US turn the otherway round to close and open then, the language alphabets were changed and so on. A by-product was the resulting 'artificial' creation of a market segment.

    Fast-forward to the future. ClearChannel. What's it doing? buyind radio stations all over the US. Why? To create the general idea that radio in America sucks these days.

    Are they aiming this at you? They'd be foolish to think that you with all your moeny to buy whatever you wanted would be subdued by their trash.

    Instead, they are targetting your kids. They know in 10 years the 12 years olds of today will 'realize' how trashy radio has 'evolved' - with respect to their generation. In ten years, they are the ones who will be growing up to realize that buying satellite radio is worth it.

    Voila, with a little bit of patience you have successfully created for yourself a 'new' market for exploitation.

    And that my friend, is the connection to 'breaking' things down to finer grains. just becuase you have ten forms of English, doesn't mean you recognize them all. There was no true concept of American English (or more precisely, "I talk American") 30 years ago.

    Oh, and about ClearChannel, they are associated with one of the satellite radio channel. Weird you would think, eh? But no when the bigger picture is presented. If you think it's too far fetched, try looking at the tobacco companies - they plan their market creation and buyer propoganda, right from when the kid is 4 years old. With TV and billboards. Oh whatever... have a great day fellas!

    If you've bought other stuff in the US - especially plastic and 'die-cast' metal good in the US - most of them are (coincidentally) Chinese made and are chintzy compared to what you'd have got 20 years ago.

    Don't believe me? Go and have a look at the detail in the dinky cars your kid plays with and then compare that with the ones you played with as a kid.

    More importantly, observer the radiator and the doors. You'll know what I am talking about.

    PS Not trying to be racist here, just giving an observation over how saving a little money here and there really hits on things ultimately.

    Well didn't they (NASA) say that a rock travelled all the way home up North with the 'fossil' of a martian microbe in it? While the rest of the world challenged the hypothesis, it was the excuse for NASA to send the rovers to Mars, but of course they never found anything there either, and the 'excitment' of robots on mars kind overtook the whole original goal/mission from the 'peoples' mind.

    The day 'they' moved base to China is the day everything got re-branded.

    Look at the stuff in WalMart and you'll what I am talking about. The overall effective standard off living in America is actualy *down*. It has increased only for the folks at the top.

    If you've ever touched an IBM ThinkPad - you'll notice how 'singular' that laptop feels. Even if you pick it up from one corner, the damn thing will not show any duress. Now try that with a Sony/Latitude/Inspiron/Acer (which comes close)/Toshiba (higher models come close but those are exponentially expensive).
