Colours - Blu-ray Forum

Mikeblu · 10-24-2007, 12:14 PM

I know this is probably the most stupid of all posts ever on this site but i was just wondering if Blu-Rays colour is blu and HD-DVDs is red then whats regular dvds?

SNAP · 10-24-2007, 02:29 PM

It's certainly not the most stupid...but it's certainly close.

Actually that is a question to ponder. I'll say GREEN because right now that's the color of money and reg. DVD's still rake in a ton.

SNAP · 10-24-2007, 02:38 PM

I always wondered why you guys over there add those "u's" to various words.

You're right. U.S. spelling tried to simplify things (so it's shorter - I heard that from my U.S. teacher). "Colours" has been around longer (maybe influenced by French).

I used to use U.S. spelling, but completely changed to British English spelling completely as I feel more comfortable with it.

colour
standarised
etc.

you know most of you have alot thicker accents then us the thought that all englishmen have accents isn't that true anymore especially with more and more imigrants

JonD7 · 10-25-2007, 09:32 AM

eek... either way I want an English wife.

jsteinhauer · 10-25-2007, 03:09 PM

Americans don't have accents?!

Reminds me of a story by a guy I trained with. He is now a citizen, but originally from Panama. He learned American English with a Midwestern accent, and when he came to the states for job interview in Alabama, the taxicab ride (no foreign cab drivers in Birmingham, now) frightened him into thinking he could never succeed in the states, because he could not understand a word the cabby said. Certainly, things are becoming more homogeneous, but as a Midwesterner, you should be able to distinguish Minnesota from Wisconsin from Chicago from St. Louis from Southern Ohio.

What I want to know, is how the 's' got changed to a 'z' in -ize

For the record, you can find foreign born cabbies in Birmingham these days.

The bigger problem would be finding a cab.
