"Stimuli Checks"

[Tom Flapwell]

for me it would be $300. for individuals, not couples, it's $300. a couple is $600, or something like that.

Last I heard, the upper limit was $1,200.

it's all dependent on income, of course.

As it should be. You think the wealthest 10% of America are suffering from this recession...Heck no!!! They're all like...Recession....What Recession?

Actually, it's 'stimulus checks'. I don't think they're meant to cause more than one.

We thought we were going to have to spend ours on our state taxes, but we caught an error in our favor. Now we can use it to get out of our credit card debt. Whoohoo!

Try "Stimulus Cheques". You Americans and your (I'm surprised you don't spell it 'yor', which would at least be consistent) weird spelling.

At least we spell it "color" and not "colour"... (no extra unnecessary letters!)

And you missed my parentheses, I see.

(If the 'u' is unnecessary in 'colour', 'savour', 'flavour', 'favour', and other words with an 'our' pronounced 'er', then why is this not the case for 'your'?)

Because it's the possessive of "you" (which sounds like the letter "u".), so to try to keep it as simple as possible, the u was kept (and to separate ourselves from a certain country that was despised at the time in this country, our forefathers dropped the "u" from many words.)

More importantly WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH

Also, all the other "-our" words are trochees. They don't put stress on the "-our" syllable, and the vowel sound is a schwa.

Spelling differences. Serious business.

Could be stimulus Czechs, but I don't they're gummint issue.

Eh, the vowel sound was always the same for me.

You're all dipthongs!

LOL, jk.

Neither British nor American spelling is better really, because they're both crap. Colour does not have an o or u in it, neither does color. Food does not have an o in it, need does not have an e in it, house does not have an o or e in it.
