    I will now demonstrate how to ruffle feathers.....The questions should not ask 'what is the British-English spelling'. The questions should be written as 'what is the correct spelling'.

    Fun! But here’s how to really ruffle those feathers. What kind of idiot calls a sport “football” where the main point is to run up and down a field throwing and catching the ball and rugby already had defined rules?

    I gave up after they posted a horrible picture of some stringy potato things, and tried to claim they were British chips 😡

    I wondered why the answer to 'What are these called' wasn't 'too skinny and undercooked'.

    #23. The profession is 'law'. In the UK a person practising law is a 'lawyer'. There are two general classes of lawyers - solicitors and barristers. Solicitors can represent clients in the lower courts but only barristers can represent clients in the higher courts (Crown, High, Supreme).

    Barristers are called Advocates in Scotland so it depends which part of the uk you are in.
