RobertYou know what bothers me? People who say "arse." It used to seem sort of cool and british but a bit annoying. Then I discovered something. It's not pronounced "Arse" when people who are legitimately foreign say it. It's pronounced "ass". But they think the way Americans say "ass" sounds overly nasal, so they threw an R into the word.
i'll need you for the limitations paragraph later on

dumbarse
me
hahahaha ohhh
and i'm the dumbarse?
at least i know how to speak english
So "Arse" isn't a word. And if you say "Arse" and pronounce the R, you're being silly. The 'R' is not supposed to be there. "Arse" is a word that people with accents made up so that they could say the word "Ass" and still sound a bit pretentious.
[Yes, I'm aware that to them, I have an accent, and I'm aware that there are about two hundred other flaws with my argument, but the basic point is, do not let me hear you say 'ARRse' because I will do this whole rant all over again, to your face, with feeling]
Love always,
Clara
