** Chris ** Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I am putting in on my Calendar. I may not be able to make it out to Torrey in May, so I might have to go east in April. I'll ride with you. You might need a translator once you leave Texas. I appreciate the offer, but I am pretty fluent in the Georgian dialect. I lived in Centerville when I was a kid. My Grand Parents lived on St. Simon's Island. I still have relatives down there. Link to comment

That, along with your misspelling of humour [sic] and general behaviour [sic] towards them, may wind up in you being viewed with disfavor [sic]. So exactly why did you guys stop spelling all those words the correct way? There must be a story there somewhere. As you did previously, I just misspelled the last word, "disfavor" ... well, according to you Canadians, I did. As for why we Americans started "misspelling" words, while Canadians did not, I think we first just need to call that out as the misrepresentation of the facts that it is. Canadians did indeed adopt many of spellings as documented Webster's American Dictionary in 1828 (seriously, look it up). The "z" sound of a single "s" became "z" in most of the same cases: "analyze" vs. the English "analyse," "amortize" vs. the English "amortise," and apologize vs. apologise. There are numerous other examples where Canadian English aligns with American English ... especially in more modern words. Given the history of the late 18th and early 19th centuries (when both Canada and America were creating their own identities), perhaps the key reason for changing many spellings was that both Canadians and Americans wanted to rid their versions of English of much of the old French influence in English. However, the Canadians just didn't want to have quite so much an independent version ... since they kept the suffixes "our" (colour vs. color), "re" (theatre vs. theater), and the use of double "l" vs. single "l" ("councellor" vs. "counselor"). So, I suppose in the end, perhaps we should simply conclude that the Canadians really just don't mind being so French, but note that they don't wish to be as French as the bloody English. And for all those in Canada who do want to be more French-like, well, they should simply move to Quebec with the rest of "those" Quebecois, where thatey can be so ridiculous as to want their own identity, but not actually achieve independence.

markgoodrich Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I am going to check into the back roads around there. would like to bring my G450x and ride all back roads, no pavement. If anyone has some fire roads they can recommend please PM me, thanks If there was a bullseye for great on and off-road riding in the east Dillard, Ga might be it. May have to get IN on this one. Some really scenic and fun dualsport in every direction. When I get back from Co. I'll send a bunch of trails and forest road stuff to Ken and he can sort it and send to whoever wants it. Dual sport as in 1200GS's or do I need to borrow Mark's trailer and bring my 690? I just started reading through this thread. Chris, you ain't borrowing my trailer. It's gonna have a K1600 on it part of the way there, at least until Texas is in the rear view mirror. Link to comment
