It's always reassuring to me to hear someone speak who knows how to pronounce "kilometer". It's "KEY' low me tur", not "kill AH' mit ur". He's pronouncing it the German way which is not how it is pronounced in English or American English, Spud m8. dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/kilometerNeither of these are how it is pronounced in French where the word originates. Well then, I'm moving to Germany where they know how to speak English. |

It's always reassuring to me to hear someone speak who knows how to pronounce "kilometer". It's "KEY' low me tur", not "kill AH' mit ur". Here we say..."Kill-Omm-Itter"... ...but it isn't actually used for anything other than it being an option in car speedometers in case we decide we wanna take a drive into Canada  *But nobody in their right mind would step foot in Canada these days, so it's pretty much a total waste  U may not like our rainbow coalitions, petty queer social norms, comedian imports, consumers price indices or even our communist PM but we're not averaging 200 mass shootings annually, churning out currency like a paper mill, knocking off governments we don't like, or bolstering a dilapidated manufacturing base with a military/industrial complex to offset inflation. Our dollar & GDP has had a steady track record & solid growth rate that outpaces even the USA without running deficits or devaluing our currency by printing more money like it was Monopoly money. Your dollar value is or was backed by the petrodollar courtesy of KSA which is now getting knocked off its perch because Russia is the world's top 3 gas & oil producer that outpaces KSA. Russia is demanding payment in rubles & thereby increasing it currency value. In fact, the ruble is the number #1 performing currency on the market NOW. Russia is part of BRICS whose stated aims is to bust the petrodollar & make their currencies the most favored FOREX. The USA handed over their prize economic status to Russia on a silver platter with a misguided & utterly stupid foreign policy only to serve their military manufacturers bank accounts. Y'know....the donor class that makes up the widest contributors of 535 legislator's campaign funds? Canada doesn't have that problem & we're chugging along quite well. Pretty soon we'll have waves of Americans emigrating to Canada like they did during the Vietnam Era. Put THAT in ur protein drink! |
