African American.  Latin American,   Native Avericans.  What about all the "white" classifictions of "Americanx"?  The Dutch, the English, the German, the Irish.  All those other nations that raped piillaged and conquered you country.
Seems it's only the coloured amonst you that are classified

Why is that?

Apparently Lil needs her own boredom thread :snicker:

what is going on with the backspace messing up the size of the text.  (and Yes...Lil, there is a BACKSPACE key.  It is intended to be used to correct your typo's.  It's not a typewriter that you can't erase the ink and have to use white-out

Please keep your politics out of and off of this thread.
This is meant to be a light hearted and inclusive thread.  There's enough politics to go around elsewhere.

 :uh-huh:
We don't use "Z".  It wouuld be tea cosy and tea cosies.
"Cosy" as in warm and snug. 

Tea cosies are traditionally knitted, or crocheted to cover traditional teapots to keep the tea pots and therefore the tea within warm.


Disclaimer



No "Z"'s have ever been harmed or damaged in the use of the phrase "cosy".


Methinks you're trying to be a little too clever there matey.

The point was the whole "coZy" thang, but yes, it was mostly boredom.
I was hoping somebody was about, to have some banter with, but it turned out to not be so.   :(
