OK, I'll give it a shot:
Some expat dared post something on glocals about life in Geneva not being perfect. How dare she???!!!??? Doesn't she know that this is her host country, and she should just be grateful and leave if she doesn't like something???!!!

@Nir, Where does your assumption come from that it would only be an expat complaining about life in Geneva? Isn’t there also potential for local Swiss residents to complain about life here?! Also, it seems rather anti-feminist that you choose a ‘she’ as an example of someone behaving unacceptably. Then again, if you’d chosen a ‘he’ as an example it could be seen as a presumption of male behaviour being more significant than female behaviour. Also, if you’d chosen a transgender person as an example that could have been seen as derogatory and hurtful!
@Charlie, as for you, what gives you the right to decide that the last person to comment wins?! Shouldn’t we have some kind of “democratic”, online Glocals vote to decide together what criteria there are for being the ‘winner’ of this argument?! Hey, a pair of free tickets could be offered to an over-hyped show that gets cancelled at the last minute as a prize for the winner! Also, conspiracy theories could be offered as to the REAL reason for the show being cancelled!
Arguing for the sake of arguing is SO MUCH FUN, but I have real things to get wound up about like how to fit 4 days’ worth of sporting, cultural and social events plus supermarket shopping into a 2-day weekend!

True.
That's why often you see people on the heated glocals forums ending with something like this:
"So that's it, I've said my thing and am now unsubscribing from this thread and will not be able to see or know about your future replies".
The above is another way of saying "pls don't post more replies and just let my reply be the last one!"

I understand your point as well as the issue of quite a big number of Swiss citizens regarding crowded trains, trams and expensive apartments (I share this concern!). Fist of all they could reduce the first class waggons as they are mostly empty and you walk until the end of the platform to find some second class.
What I don’t understand though is how quite a lot of people swallow the poor rhetoric of a certain political party and compare themselves to sheeps. What does that reveal about a people?

Wow, I am totally wrong, or I should clarify, because I just got some scientific data from the following site:
http://www.targetmap.com/viewer.aspx?reportId=3073
No comparisons of balls but penyz size, americans are on average some of the smallest, but how is that possible, they are so big. must be the hormones from the foods of micydo and animals hormones that filter to the food chain and other wonderfull chemical side effects. Maybe artificial foods, flavors, etc just make things less usefull?
But why not compare the girth also, so to compare total proportionality? Just to give Us a chance. oh just to state, im not in the average and im confortable being just what I am :) heheheehehe.
oh nir, Im not making any angry statements now, so maybe im will be banned because Im not contributing enought CONTENT :P

Back in the office- as you see!
A man walks into an office.
Man: (Michael Palin) Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.
Receptionist: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?
Man: No, this is my first time.
Receptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?
Man: Well, what would be the cost?
Receptionist: Well, It's one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.
Man: Well, I think it's probably best if I start with the one and then see how it goes from there, okay?
Receptionist: Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment.
(Pause)
Receptionist: Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory. Ahh yes, Try Mr. Barnard; room 12.
Man: Thank you. (Walks down the hall. Opens door.)
Angry man: WHADDAYOU WANT?
Man: Well, Well, I was told outside that...
Angry man: DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU SNOTTY-FACED HEAP OF PARROT DROPPINGS!
Man: What?
M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!!
A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!
M: Oh! Oh I see!
A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.
M: Oh...Sorry...
A: Not at all!
A: (under his breath) stupid git.
(The man goes into room 12A. Another man is sitting behind a desk.)
Man: Is this the right room for an argument?
Other Man:(John Cleese) I've told you once.
Man: No you haven't!
Other Man: Yes I have.
M: When?
O: Just now.
M: No you didn't!
O: Yes I did!
M: You didn't!
O: I did!
M: You didn't!
O: I'm telling you, I did!
M: You did not!
O: Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes.
O: Just the five minutes. Thank you.
O: Anyway, I did.
M: You most certainly did not!
O: Now let's get one thing quite clear: I most definitely told you!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: No you DIDN'T!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: No you DIDN'T!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: No you DIDN'T!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh look, this isn't an argument!
(pause)
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
(pause)
M: It's just contradiction!
O: No it isn't!
M: It IS!
O: It is NOT!
M: You just contradicted me!
O: No I didn't!
M: You DID!
O: No no no!
M: You did just then!
O: Nonsense!
M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!
M: I came here for a good argument!
O: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an argument!
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
O: Well! it CAN be!
M: No it can't!
M: An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
O: No it isn't!
M: Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction.
O: Look, if I *argue* with you, I must take up a contrary position!
M: Yes but it isn't just saying 'no it isn't'.
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
O: Yes it is!
M: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
O: It is NOT!
M: It is!
O: Not at all!
M: It is!
(The Arguer hits a bell on his desk and stops.)
O: Thank you, that's it.
M: (stunned) What?
O: That's it. Good morning.
M: But I was just getting interested!
O: I'm sorry, the five minutes is up.
M: That was never five minutes just now!!
O: I'm afraid it was.
M: (leading on) No it wasn't.....
O: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more.
M: WHAT??
O: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
M: But that was never five minutes just now!
Oh Come on!
Oh this is...
This is ridiculous!
O: I told you... I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you PAY!
M: Oh all right. (takes out his wallet and pays again.) There you are.
O: Thank you.
M: (clears throat) Well...
O: Well WHAT?
M: That was never five minutes just now.
O: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!
M: Well I just paid!
O: No you didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I don't want to argue about it!
O: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay!
M: Ah hah! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing??? Ah HAAAAAAHHH! Gotcha!
O: No you haven't!
M: Yes I have! If you're arguing, I must have paid.
O: Not necessarily. I *could* be arguing in my spare time.
M: I've had enough of this!
O: No you haven't.
M: Oh shut up!

M: You didn't!
O: I did!
M: You didn't!
O: I'm telling you, I did!
M: You did not!
O: Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes.
O: Just the five minutes. Thank you.
O: Anyway, I did.
M: You most certainly did not!
O: Now let's get one thing quite clear: I most definitely told you!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh look, this isn't an argument!
(pause)
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
(pause)
M: It's just contradiction!
O: No it isn't!
M: It IS!
O: It is NOT!
M: You just contradicted me!
O: No I didn't!
M: You DID!
O: No no no!
M: You did just then!
O: Nonsense!
M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!
M: I came here for a good argument!
O: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an argument!
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
O: Well! it CAN be!
M: No it can't!
M: An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
O: No it isn't!
M: Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction.
O: Look, if I *argue* with you, I must take up a contrary position!
M: Yes but it isn't just saying 'no it isn't'.
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
O: Yes it is!
M: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
O: It is NOT!
M: It is!
O: Not at all!
M: It is!
(The Arguer hits a bell on his desk and stops.)
O: Thank you, that's it.
M: (stunned) What?
O: That's it. Good morning.
M: But I was just getting interested!
O: I'm sorry, the five minutes is up.
M: That was never five minutes just now!!
O: I'm afraid it was.
M: (leading on) No it wasn't.....
O: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more.
M: WHAT??
O: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
M: But that was never five minutes just now!
Oh Come on!
Oh this is...
This is ridiculous!
O: I told you... I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you PAY!
M: Oh all right. (takes out his wallet and pays again.) There you are.
O: Thank you.
M: (clears throat) Well...
O: Well WHAT?
M: That was never five minutes just now.
O: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!
M: Well I just paid!
O: No you didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I don't want to argue about it!
O: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay!
M: Ah hah! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing??? Ah HAAAAAAHHH! Gotcha!
O: No you haven't!
M: Yes I have! If you're arguing, I must have paid.
O: Not necessarily. I *could* be arguing in my spare time.
M: I've had enough of this!
O: No you haven't.
M: Oh shut up!

if you can't backup your argument with any facts or a graphs (remember a picture is worth 1'000 words) then clearly i'm right and you're left. :) The infographic i placed clearly shows how the influx of foreigners into this country is inversely related to the number of relevant posts about living in a place that you don't want to live in, in comparison to the total irrelevant posts of those not living in a place that they do want to live in on a site made for people who don't really know where they're living anymore in the first place. Seemed pretty clear to me anyway..

I asked her to stop leaving her rubbish outside her apartment all the time. I asked about a dozen times. Finally I asked the Regie to ask her to stop. So now she pretends we aren't there, even in the 3 person lift in the building, because asking her to stop leaving her stinking, used-Pamper filled rubbish in the corridor is apparently the worst thing one can do.

Yeah! And on the subject of kids I think it's EVERY PARENT'S RIGHT to make sure small children fly business class on long haul overnight flights after giving them each a six pack of Red Bull! Discuss.
P.S. Maybe the Swiss are right to boot out all the ex-pats. I mean let's face it, none of us expats are doing any work this afternoon (which could be done by a Swiss person) but instead are just f--king around on this Glocals forum! (cue respectable amount of time before next post appears...) 
Feb 19, 14 15:46
Let's get some stuff straight here. If you want peace and quiet, just fly First FFS, you get what you pay for. Expat families fly business, better get used to it matey.
On the work subject, do you really want to go there huh huh huh ;-) ! And I'm not an expat, am on a humble local contract working for an even more humble industry.
And it's not red-bull what you give to your kids, you forget a vital ingredient of the drink - vodka!

“She also considered very seriously what she would look like in a little cottage in the middle of the forest, dressed in a melancholy gray and holding communion only with the birds and trees; a life of retirement away from the vain world; a life into which no man came. It had its attractions, but she decided that gray did not suit her.”

Thanks Peter for raising an interesting question here:
"Is there a limit to what can be said or posted here?"
Until what point is it still okay to make jokes about some groups of people?
Take the Dieudonné case in France for example.
When does it stop being funny without being accused of lacking sense of humour and not getting it?
When do people finally take responsibility for what they say or post?
I apologize if that spoils the fun.

Hey Arun, no actually they were all pretty good, saving this thread and keeping it afloat actually. Can we still go outside and sort it with some one on one basketball, first to 21 wins, and I'll even spot you 3 points!
Feb 28, 14 12:38
No. I have a argument thread to win and evidently, you are quite clumsy at keeping-up. Now you've even given Izzie ideas for some silly philosphical discussions that belong in the dark, humid, underground political forums.
If this is how you play basketball, a game designed for nimble-footed giants, I'd suggest one of the versions that are far more civilised, like beer-pong.

Arun, with all due respect, I'd call silly people who think their actions and saying have no consequence. But no one is forcing you in using your brain.

If the moderator is in the chat, who is moderating the moderator or this thread? This could get a lot uglier!
Is there a limit to what can be said or posted here?
Is it an "argument" thread? an "angry" thread an "insult thread"

dont forget a "sexist" thread, a "mysoginist" thread, a "feminist" thread...
Personally Id draw the line at racism, but apart from that I disagree with what everyone has said so far, and since its my thread I suspect i will win.

I was in the process of replying to your Dieudonné post except surprisingly, work keeps interrupting me when I'm on these forums. I must speak to my patron to find a permanent fix to this issue.
There must be limits against poking fun at groups of people and using that to gain political mileage for it's an error in the logical premise, called package-deal fallacy. I guess when humour begins to serve a purpose of political or argumentative logic, it cannot correct its own stupid mistakes.

I think you make a good point... and valid. It would be nice if the world realised that racism cannot exist because all humans are the same.
However by the very nature of the two words and their use which is essentially differentiating between human differences however minor... the fact that a sexist differentiates between humans based on sex or gender, where as a racist differentiates between humans based on color or ethnic background.
A mop and a broom are both floor cleaning implements that look similar, but theyre not totally the same... gender and ethnic origin are also not the same two words, although they both can relate to humans.
It is in order to distinguish between those differences that we have two words in language.
I should state that I am neither a sexist nor a racist, nor am I a broomist or a moppist.
I may be a pedant when it comes to the correct use of words, and their definitions.
You can have racists who are not sexist and sexists who are not racist, and racist sexists.
One needs the two words to be able to differentiate the bigots :)

Yes Charlie, racism and sexism are two words referring to two different groups of people but both describe prejudices and the stigmatization to justify discriminating actions and behaviour arguing that the groups in question are inferior, unworthy or what have you.
So to sum it up:
2 different words
2 different groups of people
1 concept /phenomena
As promised, here's a post that explains it further: On racism, sexism and humour.

This isn't a sad thread, it's an argumentative thread. a sad thread would be somebody posting about kittens being shamlessly exploited by being forced to perform in cabarets performing moulin rouge dances and bad mimes to Bette Midler songs over and over for the enjoyment of greedy corporate CEOs (aka the 'fat cats'). Our old neighbours had a kitten once who was very cute, but they moved away so that was sad too.
When you say "when a human being asks a genuine question" are you inferring other species of animals also log into glocals for forum participation? As far as i know the site admins have only allowed humans and a large group of chickens who eerily resemble each other and all seem to have bought the same t-shirt (must have been a special on buy club i imagine) to take part. For those who have been on this site long enough we all remember how crazy it got when cats and dogs were allowed to post willy nilly on the forums. The endless bickering was enough to make one go mad, but the fact they don't even have fingers made their posts totally illegible and nobody had a clue what the hell they were writing about.
as for the age thing i think that is totally inappropriate, charlie is old enough to tell you stories about when he and jesus used to hang out in the old days by the local river where charlie would beg him to turn it into guiness and jesus would just laugh and forgive him. I'd say at the very least a great grandfather.

If you write in capitals and someone says to you stop shouting it would allude to the fact that they may be reading aloud, Normal size (font) would be read in normal pitch and Caps would be read louder...otherwise how would they think youre shouting or not.

Yo Pens! You're soooo insightful! Being a typical Communist immpotents forum contributer you caught me reading Chairman Mao's Little Red Book and munching Viagra by the handful but what do you care? My opinion is invalid given I look like Quasimodo's twin brother. Glad to see (a) you like Pokemon and (b) my time machine has worked and it's now 1999.
Oh btw, I've written to the woman who's picture you stole telling her that there's now over 100,000 people in Switzerland who think she's you. Can't wait for her reply.
Laters!
Lot of love,
Dickie

Also I like big hamburgers and love XXXL black thongs. Excellent for preventing knee injuries during MnA fights.

Challenge accepted Arun!
As it's an argument thread, logic is kind of irrelevant no matter what I say, but I'll give it my best shot.
The English spelling is "Whisky" and if you're American it's "Whiskey".
Now Charlie, Carolyn C and Dave G just have to scan in their passport ID pages so we can see their nationalities...
(.....and how old they really are and if they take a good photo)

Dear Janet: Your logic is certainly crude for if they have to agree on it, it can't be TWO different spellings.
Plus, you seem oblivious to a potato-friendly island that falls between Great Britain & North America.
Disclaimer: The two words Carrot-tops & Ginger-heads were supposed to have a double-line strike-through on my previous post.

But they're both correct spellings, Arun!
I want them all to "agree to agree" that both spellings are correct and leave the arguing to just you and I :)
As to the potato-friendly island you refer to.
The word Whisky is actually derived from Irish Gaelic word "Uisce"
But I'd like to think that if the Irish were to spell it in English, they'd probably favour the English spelling :)

Whiskey, 'Whisky' is for the old world people. :P
In USA, we have Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Jim Bean) and Tennessee Whiskey (ie. Jack Daniels). Bourbon is only from Kentucky, and any other is fake Bourbon. Bourbon is protected by US Federal law, similiar to Champagne is protected by France.
Versus their is plenty of Whisky (Rye, Single Malt Scotch, or blended Scotch) all over the world, their is even Thailand Whisky 
Warning
As with any alcoholic spirit, both bourbon and straight whiskey can impair how your mind and body function. Always drink responsibly and never get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you've been drinking. Keep all alcohol away from children.

The word whisky (or whiskey) is an anglicisation of the Gaelic word uisce/uisge meaning water. Distilled alcohol was known in Latin as aqua vitae ("water of life"). This was translated to Gaelic as Irish: uisce beatha and Scottish Gaelic: uisge beatha="lively water" or "water of life". Early forms of the word in English included uskebeaghe (1581),usquebaugh (1610), usquebath (1621), usquebae (1715).[2]

Oh just to clarify, In Ireland we also use Whiskey and not whisky.
Further to clarify, i was refering to Scottish Gaelic: uisge beatha="lively water" or "water of life" , not refering to Irish Gaelic
The first confirmed written record of whisky comes from 1405 in Ireland. In the Irish Annals of Clonmacnoise in 1405, the first written record of whisky attributes the death of a chieftain to "taking a surfeit of aqua vitae" at Christmas. In Scotland, the first evidence of whisky production comes from an entry in the Exchequer Rolls for 1494 where malt is sent "To Friar John Cor, by order of the king, to make aquavitae", enough to make about 500 bottles.

@Janet: I disagree to agree that agree to agree, agree to disagree to agree or other such perversions are agreements of any sort. Once you accept a challenge, you can't dilute or compound it in retrospect.
I'll elucidate for further clarity - If the three might stakeholders don't agree to ONE SINGLE spelling, no deal.
In the meantime, I call upon Irishfolk of all ages, genders, hair-colours, sexual-orientation et al. to help Janet see reason...for if you don't, soon enough you'll end up having people correcting you and calling your whiskey something bizarrely different.
See Janet's nerve in the above post, making a bold statement like:
But I'd like to think...<blah blah>...probably...<more blah blah>...
Thank you Dave G for getting on top of this like a true patriot!

Due to the huge influx of Irish nationals in the US, the Burbon made there is called Whiskey, since the Irish origin population named it...

Whiskey is a derivative of Aqua Vita, whisky is a derivative of whiskey... and so forth... Frankly each nation has made their own, and fair do's to them... drink what suits your own taste. Im not a whiskey snob, although I do love a drop of Midletons... (which is southern Irish brewed malt now owned by Jamesons and is properly deliceous... although the good stuff is about €150 a bottle....)

Distilling techniques were brought to Ireland and Scotland sometime between 1100 and 1300 by monks. Since wine was not easily obtained in Ireland and Scotland, barley beer was distilled into liquor which became whisky. The manufacturing of distilled spirits was limited to apothecaries and monasteries until the late 15th century. The first known book on distillation was in 1500, when Hieronymus Brunschwygk's "Liber de arte distillandi" expounded on the virtues of alcohol as medicine and how to make it.

Early forms of the word in English included uskebeaghe (1581),usquebaugh (1610), usquebath (1621), usquebae (1715)
Just remember you dont speak Gaelic, and Charlie does. Irish Gaelic Translation to Ênglish' has always been Whiskey.

WHISKEY relates to the IRISH whiskey ... and we took it to Scotland, and they made it and in order to differentiate between the two drinks when they sold it to the English the Scots left out the "e" from the spelling....
They're both English words...
the Scots and the Irish supplied Whiskey/whisky to the English (who were and ARE incapable of making their own) since the 14 and 15 hundreds.
The Mayflower hit America in Nov 1620....some 100 to 150 yrs after the words Whiskey and Whisky were in use in the English language, since they were very religeous its unlikely they made their own.
The origins of whiskey can be traced back to the Medieval monks of both Ireland and Scotland, but now, those two countries make their own distinctive styles of their native spirit. So it is with American whiskey--the original concept may have been imported from far away lands, but some 300 years later, American whiskey, a spirit that can’t be made without corn, an indigenous American grain, is a product unto itself.

Glenfiddich by the way in Scottish Gaelic is spelled Glean Fhiodhaich and means Valley (Glen) of the Stag.
Glenmorangie would be "valley (glen) of tranquility"...
And so forth.
We Irish were not so artistic in naming our Whiskey, we just named it after the town or person/family that made it.

Im calm.
There are currently three distilleries producing English whisky. Though England is not very well known for making whisky there were distillers previously operating in London, Liverpool and Bristol until the late 19th century, after which production of English whisky ceased until 2003. It has been reviltalised in micro distillaries and in artisan alcohol brewers.
I admit I cannot name one of them though.
Janet sweetie, would you call Vodka (if you drank it) Wodka or Vodka?
If I gave you a bottle of the Russian stuff and a bottle of the Polish stuff you may call them both Vodka...when in reality the Polish should be Wodka because of marketing and differentiation in pronunciation...
The same concept applies for Irish and Scottish whiskey/whisky... its a difference in the English language in order to differentiate the origin and the pronunciation.
Poles will accentuate the "W" more than the Russians (who are quite adept in saying the "V")... especially when speaking English and saying Vodka...
In Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic many words or phrases are similar but often shortened or pronounced differently by either side ... much like the accents are different.

English are knobs but Amercicans have 'Knob creek', an excellent Whiskey bourbon.
An excellent bourbon, just cost about cHF 150- at 'American Avenue' in colony, insane price. I think I can find it for about CHF 50- in france.

Never heard of a good english whisky, so aynthing about wihiskey its still whiskey. Or are the Scotish also English? oh I forgot the Queen of England and family are mostly Scotish and Wales? Not many royal English?

Janet, * first note that in Saudi Arbabia, its totally illegal to drink any alcohol, none at all, no beer, no wine, nothing, no bars.
However, note that the number one import of Whisky in Saudi Arabia is Black Label. Infact its one of the biggest Markets for Black Label, Its not because its the best, but the most popular. And really they would not know the difference, because the people who can not find a 'Boot legger' too sell them Black label, they drink parfumes. Note that I worked in the Spirit industry and dispite the variuos large label companies mission statements, they all work very close to the illegal importers, in the USA we call them Boot leggers.

Note that I worked in the Spirit industry and dispite the variuos large label companies mission statements, they all work very close to the illegal importers, in the USA we call them Boot leggers.

Janet: This thread took a new spiritual approach ever since you arrived. We've finally had real arguments on concrete subjects.
Although I'd love to win, I'd recommend you not to give up so soon. The light is neither the end of the tunnel nor a bottle...it is in the whisk(e)y itself.
Hang in there, at least until the Scots muster up their will to defend their whisky. Please?

Thank you Arun,
I'm just tired of running around in circles. You pose the question which spelling of Whisk(e)y is correct. I say, Whiskey is the American spelling and Whisky is the standard English spelling. They (Charlie (who wirks in the spirits industry and Dave G ..don't know what he does) decide to give us a lecture on how Whiskey and Whisky are actually different drinks from different parts of the world. And they then call the English knobs as Irish/Scottish normally do. ( I'm British/Nigerian, not English so that doesn't really bother me).Then argument moves to V(W)odka.. that I don't care much for.
All in all, to come back to the conclusion that Americans adopted the Irish spelling of Whiskey. Whisk(e)y is actually not a word in Gaelic. It is the mispronounced and mispelt English word derived from "Uisg(c)e" or whatever.
I don't care anymore, I just like to drink Whisky (boot legged or not), not spell it!!
I also bore easily, so I'd rather argue about something else.

Scottish Gaelic or Irish Gaelge?
Mar 10, 14 21:41
Rena baby,
It would not be Scottish Gaelic or Irish Gaelge...
Its either;
Gàidhlig which refers to the Gaelic the Scots speak,
OR,
Gaeilge which refers to the Gaelic the Irish speak.
The difference in spelling is in itself directly relevant to the nation that speaks the languages.
No need to put a country name to it.

I see a deep disconnect here, plus this gives us a brand new subject to continue this fight relentlessly.
You're still bent upon classifying English in two distinct versions. While it may be acceptable to people on either side of the pond, you forget there is a tiny island with leprechauns somewhere in the pond & a whole world around Great Britain & North America.
English is the world's most widely used language but it didn't get there because of an English Academy, British Conservatory or some American Institute. There are twice the amount of non-native speakers compared to native speakers.
English belongs to everyone who uses it. Whisky is Scottish & Whiskey is Irish. Voilà.

Whiskey is a derivative of Aqua Vita, whisky is a derivative of whiskey... and so forth... Frankly each nation has made their own, and fair do's to them... drink what suits your own taste. Im not a whiskey snob, although I do love a drop of Midletons... (which is southern Irish brewed malt now owned by Jamesons and is properly deliceous... although the good stuff is about €150 a bottle....)

@Rena: Wrong use of the term widely spoken! Your graphic calculates number of native-speakers alone. 
Riding the crest of globalization and technology, English dominates the world as no language ever has, and some linguists are now saying it may never be dethroned as the king of languages.

Now something I can get my teeth into!
Yeah rena, you're right in terms of the number of people but Arun is right in terms of the number of countries where you'd find the language being spoken more fluently by non-natives, it's English. You'd probably won't find Chinese (which strictly speaking is not a language, try Mandarin or Cantonese) being spoken much in the African continent where I'm natively from. You'd be better off speaking French in countries that were colonized by the French way back when. No country in Africa speaks any Chinese languages. Spanish is spoken mainly in Spain and Latin America and Southern parts of North American. Hindi isn't spoken by non-natives outside of India. Arabic (and it's various dialects is more widely spoken in the whole of the Middle East and parts of Africa)... Going by this, I believe English is most widely spoken.

by Chinese I guess you mean Mandarin...
According to Wiki... it might be a close race between native plus second language English speakers versus Mandarin and Cantonese.
Approximately 375 million people speak English as their first language.[42] English today is probably the third largest language by number of native speakers, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.[5][43] However, when combining native and non-native speakers it is probably the most commonly spoken language in the world, though possibly second to a combination of the Chinese languages (depending on whether distinctions in the latter are classified as "languages" or "dialects").[44][45]

True, but that's purely on the numbers of the speakers not on geographical spread around the world. How many countries will you have Mandarin/Catonese spoken as a second language by non-native of China?

Thanks Charlie: English the most commonly spoken language in the world.Exactly.
The question was how NOT how many countries will you have where Mandarin/Catonese is spoken as a second language by non-native of China BUT what are the languages that most people in the world speak.
Even if there are less Chinese speakers at parties in Geneva believe me: There are quite some in China.

(China is currently Africa's largest trading partner. There are an estimated 800 Chinese corporations doing business in Africa. So you might here more and more Mandarin or Cantonese there, too. But as English is taught in Chinese schools...)

Regardless of this, you will find that the common language that they will use for communication to aid trade/investments will be English. Trust me, looking for someone who speaks Mandarin/Cantonese in Africa be like the proverbial search for the needle in a haystack. Mandarin/Cantonese are not taught in African schools. I schooled partly in Nigeria and have travelled far and wide within Africa so I know of the Li Group. They'll speak Mandarin/Cantonese amongst themselves but when dealing with Nigerians they speak English.

Talking about "ze Chermans"....
Imagine if WW2 was a bar fight..... This is how it would go;
Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria's pint. Austria demands Serbia buy it a whole new suit because of the new beer stains on its trouser leg. Germany expresses its support for Austria's point of view. Britain recommends that everyone calm down a bit. Serbia points out that it can't afford a whole suit, but offers to pay for the cleaning of Austria's trousers. Russia and Serbia look at Austria. Austria asks Serbia who it's looking at. Russia suggests that Austria should leave its little brother alone. Austria inquires as to whose army will assist Russia in doing so. Germany appeals to Britain that France has been looking at it, and that its sufficiently out of order that Britain not intervene. Britain replies that France can look at who it wants to, that Britain is looking at Germany too, and what is Germany going to do about it? Germany tells Russia to stop looking at Austria, or Germany will render Russia incapable of such action anymore. Britain and France ask Germany whether it's looking at Belgium. Turkey and Germany go off into a corner and whisper. When they come back, Turkey makes a show of not looking at anyone. Germany rolls up its sleeves, looks at France, and punches Belgium. France and Britain punch Germany. Austria punches Russia. Germany punches Britain and France with one hand and Russia with the other. Russia throws a punch at Germany, but misses and nearly falls over. Japan calls over from the other side of the room that it's on Britain's side, but stays there. Italy surprises everyone by punching Austria. Australia punches Turkey, and gets punched back. There are no hard feelings because Britain made Australia do it. France gets thrown through a plate glass window, but gets back up and carries on fighting. Russia gets thrown through another one, gets knocked out, suffers brain damage, and wakes up with a complete personality change. Italy throws a punch at Austria and misses, but Austria falls over anyway. Italy raises both fists in the air and runs round the room chanting. America waits till Germany is about to fall over from sustained punching from Britain and France, then walks over and smashes it with a barstool, then pretends it won the fight all by itself. By now all the chairs are broken and the big mirror over the bar is shattered. Britain, France and America agree that Germany threw the first punch, so the whole thing is Germany's fault. While Germany is still unconscious, they go through its pockets, steal its wallet, and buy drinks for all their friends

Turkey and Germany go off into a corner and whisper. When they come back, Turkey makes a show of not looking at anyone. Germany rolls up its sleeves, looks at France, and punches Belgium. France and Britain punch Germany. Austria punches Russia. Germany punches Britain and France with one hand and Russia with the other. Russia throws a punch at Germany, but misses and nearly falls over. Japan calls over from the other side of the room that it's on Britain's side, but stays there. Italy surprises everyone by punching Austria. Australia punches Turkey, and gets punched back. There are no hard feelings because Britain made Australia do it. France gets thrown through a plate glass window, but gets back up and carries on fighting. Russia gets thrown through another one, gets knocked out, suffers brain damage, and wakes up with a complete personality change. Italy throws a punch at Austria and misses, but Austria falls over anyway. Italy raises both fists in the air and runs round the room chanting. America waits till Germany is about to fall over from sustained punching from Britain and France, then walks over and smashes it with a barstool, then pretends it won the fight all by itself. By now all the chairs are broken and the big mirror over the bar is shattered. Britain, France and America agree that Germany threw the first punch, so the whole thing is Germany's fault. While Germany is still unconscious, they go through its pockets, steal its wallet, and buy drinks for all their friends

a propos war...
Talking about "ze Chermans"....
Imagine if WW2 was a bar fight..... This is how it would go;
Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria's pint. Austria demands Serbia buy it a whole new suit because of the new beer stains on its trouser leg. Germany expresses its support for Austria's point of view. Britain recommends that everyone calm down a bit. Serbia points out that it can't afford a whole suit, but offers to pay for the cleaning of Austria's trousers. Russia and Serbia look at Austria. Austria asks Serbia who it's looking at. Russia suggests that Austria should leave its little brother alone. Austria inquires as to whose army will assist Russia in doing so. Germany appeals to Britain that France has been looking at it, and that its sufficiently out of order that Britain not intervene. Britain replies that France can look at who it wants to, that Britain is looking at Germany too, and what is Germany going to do about it?

While being trainer of the Irish national football team he even allowed the players to have beer during the EURO as it "seems to be part of the Irish culture":
