Dear Americans of the forum, teach us Europeans your language

[MaroonCacti]

Why do you Europeans always pronounce words with A at the end them with an R?
example:
Lava = Lavr (La - ver)

[Extrude]

The boy's ass was horrid. - Meaning one boy had a horrid ass.

The boys' asses were horrid. - Meaning multiple boys had horrid asses.

[Skorpion]

Asking Americans to teach you English?
They forgeted up the language as bad as we did.

' THIS THINGY MEANS THERE IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR GENERAL CONVENIENCE AND QUITE POSSIBLY MEANS THERE IS TWO WORDS PUT TOGETHER.

After many forget ups in my previous saga I finally got this in my mind and all of a sudden a lot of this stuff makes sense.

I still for some reason don't completely get Than-Then and A-An

[Kalphiter]

Haha, "then" and "than" are the same word in Dutch.

I see why understanding the difference is difficult.

an is pretty much for convenience i suppose. i find it much easier to say an apple, or an elephant for me personally (an is used before a vowel or vowel sound [i think])

@Title "Dear Americans,"
You know it's not only Americans that know English.

Here is some phrases for you to say.
"The sly fox creeped up on the sly man who ate pie and then used a dye"

dye and die

dying - die = to end life.

dyeing - dye = to colour something

colour and color

colour is European
color is American

"did you died" may be a very common mistake

[Treynolds416]

Here's a great one: Sorry fred
The difference between affect and effect. Even people who grow up in America and England have trouble with this word, including Badspot!

Affect is a verb, and it means "to cause something to occur"
Effect is a noun, and it means "the outcome of that event"

The news of his dog dying affected his performance.
The news of his dog dying had an effect on his performance.

Words that are kind of similar (not a complete list):
- Effectively (adv.)
- Effective (adj.)
- Affection (n.)

The news of his dog dying effectively killed him.
The news of his dog dying was extremely effective.
His affection for the dog could be plainly seen.

It's ironic because affection is an noun even though affect is a verb, and effectively is an adverb? even though effect is a noun.
You go, English!

[Artificial Blocko]

I learned about I before E except after C in school.

Notice the difference: Receive, Friend

The I and E are in different spots according to the rule.

Except the word "Weird" and a few others don't follow the rule.
