Hey, that's funny you mention that. I am a american living in sweden. I work with a scott and an australian, (as well as a bunch of swedes and another american) anyway, I just had an "argument" with the scottish lady about what a rutabaga is and what a turnip is. It seems the brittish have no real sense about these things. {#No}

We're better at spelling though and it's our language so if we want to call bloody root vegetables swedes we will! {#Nyah}

Ok, great, are garden vegetables annoying, or just the lamo books about them, or the simple fact that crappy books like that seem to get air time on shows like good morning america or local morning tv nonsense.

and if we are having a go, well, tv is just damn annoying since most of it assumes idiocy on the part of the viewer. bah

What's annoying is the vegetable murdering squirrels. No, actually they piss me off.

"The Google" ohh nooooo , please please please don't refer to it as a proper noun. I think I would have take tranquilizers to calm my nerves from the discomfort. The horror, the horror.

The one who decided to include as a verb it must be some sod that uses it as a verb all the time. he probably "googled" the meaning of the word and found the def on wikipedia What kind of source is that? Don't matter- this thread is now about garden vegetables.
